This is funny when you know that even though we think of hadrosaurs as weak prey animals due to their lack of armor compared to ceratopsids or ankylosaurs, they were MASSIVE beasts (some of them were the largest non-sauropod dinosaurs), and a fully-grown individual could almost certainly defend itself from a tyrannosaur.
I remember thinking the first time I read this comic, many years ago, that in panel #7, Calvin has a look of sorrow and regret on his face, not fear. That he actually realized that his action against Suzie was terribly wrong he was ashamed of himself. Therefore, he went home and threw away his dinosaur books. After reading it again, I am convinced that is what Bill intended and he is giving us a rare glimpse into Calvinâs human side. It is not a misfire, but a revealing look at Calvin.
If Calvin continues to insist on learning by experience, he really needs to pay attention. Every time he tags Suzie, she demonstrates her âmore forcefulâ side and he gets the worst of it. But, he just canât resist another shot.

Calvin got it wrong â what he is the T-Rex. Susie isnât an iguanadon (I think) she is clearly Giganotosaurus

Didnât the book mention that the most dangerous beast is the Susiesaurus?

Calvin could learn a thing or two from Primal⊠if he manages to see it without his parents finding out.

At Calvinâs age, girls are stronger, faster, and a lot meaner if they want to be.

Calvin would never throw away a comic book. Especially one about dinosaurs. This strip is a total misfireâŠ

Personally, the impressive thing is the art work. When Bill gets on a rollâŠ

Role playing can be a lot if fun, Calvin. But donât mistake Susie for an NPC.

When a beaked dinosaur bites you in the butt.
zarilla about 2 years ago
In real life, 70 million years or so ago, that smaller dinosaur would never run off a T-Rex. Of course, itâs Susie vs. Calvin, so, OK.

Watterson has said based Susie upon his wife

Donât blame the comic book just because you misassessed reality.

Have been missing Calvinâs Jurassic world. Susie obviously does not play that game. ;-)
