Sorry ’bout the unplanned hiatus last week, everyone. This heat must be getting to me. Anyway, no more unannounced gaps, I promise.

No time for a full essay now, but for next week I’ll write one pertaining to the general theme of reproduction in large theropods…
wow, just got to say that that was a hilarious run of strips. However, what happened to Parry? Is not going to be reborn?
