T-Rex: Painting is just colouring for adults.
T-Rex: ...Discuss!
Dromiceiomimus: You mean like painting a landscape, or perhaps a still life of some boring, TEDIOUS fruit?
T-Rex: No, like - putting a fresh coat of paint on a chair or cupboard! The same skills apply: you've got lines you've got to stay within, you get to choose what colour you want it to be, you can do a good job or a bad job, and the process is actually kinda fun.
Utahraptor: Plus you can get paint all over you AND on everything you touch.
T-Rex: Like kids with markers! YEP.
Utahraptor: Well, I gotta say - I agree with you. Painting an object is absolutely like colouring, and the process can induce the same state of pensive pleasantness as we turn the environment around us into something more satisfyingly beautiful.
Narrator: BUT THEN, AFTER T-REX PAINTS:
T-Rex: Painting can ALSO induce the same frustration and rage when, DESPITE YOUR BEST EFFORTS, it still SOMEHOW turns out SUPER CRAPPY! RARRRGH!!
Off panel: ...You take things pretty seriously.
T-Rex: THANKS BUT I'M TOO ANGRY FOR CRITICISM RIGHT NOW
