− | + | This strip refers to ''{{w|Jurassic World}}'', the new ''{{w|Jurassic Park}}'' movie. [[White Hat]] explains that the movie's plot involves genetically engineering a better {{w|Tyrannosaurus Rex}}. [[Megan]] doesn't feel that the historic Tyrannosaurus can be improved upon, but White Hat insists they've created an even more terrifying, smarter T.rex for this new movie. | |
− | + | White Hat refers to T.rex as "two decades old", indicating that he has switched topics from the movie's plot line to the animation techniques that created the {{w|Jurassic Park (film)|T.rex on-screen}} in 1993 versus today. Clearly, in the computer animation world, we should be able to create something more convincing with modern technology. | |
− | The title text is an example of what T | + | In the final panel, White Hat introduces the 'new T.rex', who is immediately recognizable as the green T.rex from {{w|Ryan North|Ryan North's}} ''{{w|Dinosaur Comics}}''; specifically, from the last panel of said webcomic (which in turn is from [http://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/interview-with-ryan-north-creator-of-dinosaur-comics-15523444/ clip art]).

+ | Characters from ''Dinosaur Comics'' have also appeared in [[145: Parody Week: Dinosaur Comics]] and [[1350: Lorenz]] (see under [[1350:_Lorenz#Dinosaur|Dinosaur]]). | ||
