Dinosaur Comics


If you've never heard of Dinosaur comics before, let me warn you before clicking on the link and heading for the archives:

The artwork never changes. It is always the same pixel picture for every comic just with something different for the dialogue. And yet somehow it's still hilarious!

I will give Ryan North this, he is one brilliant Canadian; being able to use the strip over and over again (he was published in the Kids Book Project, btw) and gather a fan base just through the text used in the comic is something I'd never be able to do.

As Ryan North says:

I know a lot of people that love Dinosaur comics. And from what I've read Ryan North sounds like a very smart guy. I've just never been able to get into Dinosaur Comics. I tried reading through the archives once and didn't get very far. Maybe I didn't give him a chance? I might not have been able to get past the never changing art. It kind of defeats the point of a comic medium to me. I love comics because the writing and visuals elevate each other in such a way that is not possible through the use of just one or the other. The art doesn't even need to be technically good or elaborate, as long as it works with the feel of the comic. Oh well, to each his own. I do recommend that people check out Dinosaur Comics, as I said before, many people enjoy it. Just don't expect a change of scenery when you're going through the archives.

It amazes me that he could just do that over and over for about 4(?) years straight. I think I'd go insane after the third page....
