− | + | This comic is wordplay on ''{{w|The Land Before Time (franchise)|The Land Before Time}}'', a film series centered on dinosaurs. | |
− | + | This comic shows a timeline of the history of the universe, from the {{w|Big Bang}} to the present day. Various permutations of "Land Before Time" are highlighted on the timeline - for example, the "time before land" is the period of time before any land existed in the universe. (If only land on Earth was counted, then the time before land would have extended until [https://curiosity.com/topics/the-first-continent-on-earth-curiosity/ 3 billion years BC]; Earth existed before then, but the oceans covered its entire surface.) | |
− | + | Some of the wordplay arises from exchanging the {{w|homophonous}} words "time" and “thyme", and the {{w|homonyms}} “land” meaning ground, and “land “ meaning to go from sky to ground, creating even more permutations. Additional words like "the", "on", etc. are sometimes added. | |
+ | |||
+ | The timeline includes points of interest to help understand the highlighted periods. | ||
