Hey T-Rex's math is bad here, because he's using degrees celsius and not Kelvin, so the multiples of temperatures aren't what they should be! Luckily for ME, T-Rex is a fictional character who is fallible, so it's HIM making this mistake. And this leaves me, as an author, entirely flawless and perfect and DEFINITELY not someone who would ever make this mistake even once. Thanks, writing!!

But it turns out not everyone reads the weird blog posts beneath their internet funnycomics, so I bit the bullet and corrected the strip so T-Rex uses Kelvin instead of celsius. The comparisons are now correct! ...BUT FOR HOW LONG??
