T-Rex: Wish there was a simple, effortless, and subtle way to tell the world "HEY I'VE GOT A LOT ON MY PLATE RIGHT NOW SO MAYBE CUT ME SOME SLACK, THANKS??"
T-Rex: So do I!

T-Rex: But the difference is, MY wish has been granted!!

T-Rex: The secret, Dromiceiomimus, is BEARDS. If you can grow a beard, all you have to do is stay clean-shaven NORMALLY, but then, when shit gets REAL? Oh boy, THAT'S when you let the stubble come in, and everyone goes "OH SHIT, SHIT GOT REAL, SHIT!!"
Dromiceiomimus: I agree, but wonder I if that could've been expressed with fewer "shits".
T-Rex: Alas! We will never know.

Utahraptor: Emergency stubble! It truly is an advantage the beard-havers have over non-haver have-nots.
T-Rex: RIGHT??

Utahraptor: On the other hand, they do have to STAY clean-shaven all the time for the emergency stubble to have ANY impact, so you have to weigh the advantages of the effortless "leave me alone I'm busy" facial hair over the effortful ENDLESS DAILY MAINTENANCE FOR THEIR ENTIRE PUBESCENT LIVES.

T-Rex: Okay, but if I had stubble right now, you wouldn't be saying that to me. You'd be saying "Oh shit, shit got real, shit!!"
Off panel: I mean, yeah
Off panel: Everyone knows it
