Hmm, maybe I’m missing something. Did the process of converting plants & amimals into oil Stop when all the dinosaurs died? If that is where oil really comes from… wouldn’t it be an ongoing process? There were after all plants & animals after the dinosaurs, yes there was a mass extintsion, however, there has been millions of years since then. No oil has been created since then? This sounds a little suspect to me.
OK, folks, a little science. It was oceanic zooplankton and algae that made oil and gas. It was trees/ferns that made coal during the Pennsylvanian age. Dinosaurs made dinosaur fossils, during the Mesozoic, over a hundred million years later.
Sometimes I think the new writers are just messing with our heads when it comes to figuring out if this strip is in the past or post-apocalyptic future (Peter visits a “new world” and floats past 20th century trash like styrofoam).
The earth is only 2000 years old?? Christ was born and died 2000 years ago and we have record of thousands of years of both bibical and secular history before him.
No dinosaurs in the Bible?Job 40:15 ¶ Behold now behemoth, which I made; he eats grass as an ox.16 See now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.17 He moves his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.18 His scales are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.

There used to be a natural gas ad around here that went, “Oil is a dinosaur…”

Do we really need to be so correct? Just get the joke!

The earth makes its own oil – that’s why we can create synthetic oil with what we have on hand….

If dinosaurs are a product of the fuel we use today, will we be the product of fuel for future generations?

This takes place way before even the original Bluetooth that the technology is named after!

Yes. Fossil fuel is an unfortunate name for OIL.

Does no one notice the resemblance to the Sinclair dinosaur?
Centauress about 12 years ago
No I didn’t know that. Neither does anyone else intelligent enough to bother talking to.
Any idiot who thinks dinosaurs didn’t exist because some sheepherder 2000 years hadn’t seen one before is just plain stupid.
