Huh. Major logic gaffe here. In the previous week, we were treated to the fact that Calvin knows staggering amounts about dinosaurs – yet in this strip, he refers to the “brontosaurus”, a made-up creature that never existed, was never fully accepted by the scientific community, and was mercifully and finally debunked in the first part of the 20th century. See “Cope, Marsh, Dinosaur Wars, Apatosaurus” for full details.
Watterson’s line weight, color and shadow skills are incredible, and the motion in the leaping allosaurus is genius. You can tell he had so much fun drawing the Calvin strip, until he didn’t.

And with one bite Bronto is on the barby cooking as Allosaurus C digs a hole to bury the cooked Bronto in for late night snack.

Careful Calvin, the food you cause to be spilled on the ground is the food you eat.

I’d love to do that my Dad one more time. He left us last month. Probably drinking a beer with St. Peter!

I think it’s the Calvinosaurus that is going to be prematurely extinct.

I always liked his dinosaurs best. And wanted him to illustrate some kind of Dinosaur book with humorous asides.
