- July 21st, 2011: originally the last line of this comic was "let's get burgers right now instead", but that sounded like "let's get burgers" could be used like "let's get crazy", which is awesome and which i wanted to keep ALL FOR MYSELF

- December 1st, 2010: the "4" in panel six is actually because i ran out of space, and this word/number substitution is nothing i've ever done before, but i gotta say, it's pretty adorable when it's "trouble 4 utahraptor".

- July 27th, 2010: what i love about dinosaur comics (AND YES I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT MY OWN COMIC IN THIS WAY) is that most everyone is a dinosaur, so the Titanic here was gigantic ship built by dinosaurs, scaled to dinosaur sizes, and filled with dinosaurs. NICE.

- June 29th, 2010: the voice in panel two's line was originally "But my bladder is at 110% capacity!" but then I was like, man, what does that mean, is there like - a bottle somewhere? it raised too many questions for such a small panel, believe you me

- June 14th, 2010: in personal news, judging by the yelps, the downstairs neighbours have either gotten a small dog or gone insane
- June 11th, 2010: panel three is a sad one for me, because i really thought there were enough nanoseconds in my life to fill up a glass of water. OH WELL
- June 10th, 2010: songs listened to while writing this comic: martha (tom waits), if rap gets jealous (k'naan), around the corner (sarah harmer). all pretty much entirely unrelated, but Here We Are

- May 27th, 2010: 6.0 * 10^-49 percent. scientific notation was invented after a good many years of zeros. t-rex is assuming a 6000kg t-rex body here, so your percentage is even smaller (um, PROBABLY???)
- May 26th, 2010: after i wrote this comic i realized hummingbirds are basically like the movie "crank". that movie is way better than you probably think it is, but the sequel is way worse than you can ever imagine

- May 21st, 2010: every time i do a "secret of the medical profession" comic i like to imagine a cartoon doctor pulling off her mirror headset thing, throwing it on the ground, and then hopping up and down on it. that's not true, i like to imagine that at ANY ol' time

- April 29th, 2010: dude, my nostalgia's so deep that mine canaries are dying of old age before they reach the bottom of it
- April 28th, 2010: panel four is unusual in that the dialogue you're supposed to read first is at the right side of the panel, but the comic works no matter which order you read that panel's dialogue in. this is because i am a MASTER WORDSMITH WRITING INTERNET GUY DUDE
- April 27th, 2010: if you are about to argue that a story can be made worse by the addition of a robot suit, i would advise you to first ask yourself, "is what i am about to argue EVEN POSSIBLE??"

- April 15th, 2010: if you think panel four is the exact panel where i lost interest in the "internet never forgets" premise, you are wrong, it is the exact panel where i cut the rest of the comic and rewrote it because it was helluva terrible

- April 8th, 2010: based on the time when a bat smashed through my window, startling me from my dark musing

- April 6th, 2010: oh, you'll grow out of THOSE.
- April 5th, 2010: if you're unfamiliar with the concept of personal branding, it's like the personality you already have, only it's fake, manipulative, and everyone who is not in the business of selling personal branding finds it crass.

- March 26th, 2010: KLASSIK KOMIX while ryan returns from europe, from living it up with the europese!
- March 25th, 2010: originally in panel 4 utahraptor said "So you're always right by being as conservative as possible!" but I rewrote it so as to not be QUITE so clearly pandering to the ultra-conservative political base that makes up the bulk of this here readership
- March 24th, 2010: I saw "Up In The Air" with Emily Horne of A Softer World Dot Com, and before the movie I remarked how I don't understand women because most of them seem to like men and I really don't see what's so attractive about men in the first place, and then during the movie I leaned over and said, "Nevermind."

- January 21st, 2010: Autotheism is the belief that you, personally, are divine. And by "you", I obviously mean "me".

- January 7th, 2010: to compare, we humans have only done like 1/1250th of a galactic orbit since we first evolved: dinosaurs were around for a LONG WHILE. and yet, they never invented a single internet in all that time! sheesh!
- January 6th, 2010: i got a postcard from a reader in antarctica a few years back, it remains a treasured possession and i keep it on my fridge. there's penguins on it! (the postcard)
- January 5th, 2010: again, i should stress, adam and eve are dinosaurs here in t-rex's story. i think it's fair to assume than any dinosaur society would have some pretty awesome religious imagery

- December 24th, 2009: ah, hyper-advanced futures, always MESSING WITH THE FABRIC OF OUR VERY REALITY
- December 23rd, 2009: A false document is when you refer to or quote books and stuff that don't exist in real life, but your whole story pretends like they do. Like when Star Wars reads his electricity bill!!

- December 14th, 2009: this comic started life as a "old web design elements: where are they now", but man, those horizontal bars that look like they're cutting through websites are clearly the best part and high water mark of that or any other possible design aesthetic
- December 11th, 2009: it has a certain jee nee says quey

- November 30th, 2009: openoffice doesn't have "utahraptor" OR "superduds" in its spell check dictionary. it's open source; what do i need to program to fix this for future generations

- November 16th, 2009: i keep reading "love safety" as "love safely", which is a euphemism for "having sex while using protection", where "protection" is a nested euphemism for a prophylactic that inhibits both pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections. so KEEP THAT IN MIND
- November 13th, 2009: it was a four-way tie between "it only costs $50 bucks" and "it only costs 50 bucks" and "it only costs fifty bucks" and "it only costs $fifty bucks".
- November 12th, 2009: DELETED PHRASE: "the company did not respond by press time": any phrase that can meaningfully be employed after I say "Hey, do you have any comments?" and the company says "Well, actuall- " and I say "Too late!!" is not one worth putting in your article; I got opinions.
- November 11th, 2009: occam's razor OF REVENGE is very simple, entities that allow revenge should not be multiplied beyond necessity

- October 19th, 2009: the best version of this story i read ended with the moral "some infinities are bigger than others". HOW TRUE
- October 16th, 2009: writing comics like this is a bad idea because if i DO get murdered, i can just see the defense for the murderer in court saying "your honour, this apparently dead guy wrote comics about faking your own death; TOTALLY JUST THROWING THAT OUT THERE"

- October 5th, 2009: the lava lamp thing wasn't actually that recent, it was in 2004, but it has taken me this long for me to be comfortable talking about it. IT COULD'VE EASILY BEEN ME, LAVA LAMPS TAKE SO FRIGGIN' LONG TO WARM UP
- October 2nd, 2009: utahraptor's hoping maybe t-rex got one of the old standby messages people say they get from god: "your religion is definitely the right one", "you personally are super special", "hey, maybe you should be out murderin' people right now", that sort of thing

- September 25th, 2009: ironically, in panel 2 when t-rex said "that's right, i said it!", referring to the idea that some people's true selves are total chumps, he had not ACTUALLY said it, merely implied it. i guess this really just goes to show you that irony can be super boring
- September 24th, 2009: followers of my @ryanqnorth twitter account will realize that t-rex's creepy raccoon neighbours have broken out of fiction and are now pooping all over my deck. man, raccoons in toronto need to pay more attention to what they're eating, that's all i'll say

- September 22nd, 2009: A.F.S. said the only reason life is APPARENTLY thriving is because nature doesn't want the death of an individual to end things forever.

- September 10th, 2009: i did a google search for "Walter Theodore Freemont", hoping he'd be a billionaire industrialist from centuries past, but thus far it seems no parents in history have seen it fit to give their child such a name, or at least give them the name and then tell the whole internet about it
- September 9th, 2009: the history here is taken from "the secret life of words", by henry hitchings, wherein "arse ropes" are described (tautologically) as "delightfully graphic"!

- August 25th, 2009: i wrote this comic while listening the TWO separate albums called "the ocarina of rhyme". i know mc hawking has "a brief history of rhyme"; apparently i am a big fan of the ol' time/rhyme switcharoo
- August 24th, 2009: i always felt bad for the kids who'd respond with "thank you" to an insult, as if that diffused it. you still understood the intent of the hurtful words and saying thanks at least superficially indicates you appreciated it and as such works to encourage further insults; i believe it to be the worst anti-bullying tactic

- August 12th, 2009: if you re-read the comic again with "girlfriend" you will see that t-rex has had a great dating history. no regrets!
- August 11th, 2009: a better example would be the rollover from 1999 to 2000 but people got worked up about that one too, so let us Wisely Keep Our Pie Holes Shut about it

- July 28th, 2009: you may not like this comic, but your kids are gonna love it. IF YOU BRING THEM UP RIGHT
- July 27th, 2009: by my calculations, even a randomly-chosen predictive bet is 99.999% more likely to turn out to be true in the year 2019 than t-rex's Dialup Boner Euphemism
- July 24th, 2009: i can hear jenn is downstairs watching a morning show on tv and i'll tell you this: i could do a better morning show, an sleepy dog could do a better job. in fact, that's an awesome idea, let's have morning shows that are just shorts of puppies yawning and blinking and stumbling around as they wake up, OH MY GOODNESS
- July 23rd, 2009: how could i mention "teri hatcher" and not mention dean "sugar" cain, who starred as superman? um obviously i couldn't! oh, sugar cain.

- July 10th, 2009: spell "prescriptivizm" with a 'z', okay
- July 9th, 2009: i've mentioned this oxygen molecule death before, but i feel the people must be informed. only just now i looked it up and SCIENCE says that it takes a few minutes to suffocate in a vacuum, so you wouldn't die instantly if you were this cosmically unlucky chap to have all the oxygen randomly bounce away from him! awesome, man, that's one life fear assuaged
