The Thrill

I think we learn the rush of thrill at a young age. I have a toddler niece that is a real thrillseeker. An adrenaline junkie. Like there is no consequence, I’m not sure if she doesn’t learn or doesn’t care. But she would jump off the house if you let her.

Antarctic Dinosaur Found

A Plesiosaur fossil was recently found on Vega Island off the coast of the Antarctic Peninsula. It was a four-finned aquatic prehistoric creature (like the one many think is swimming around even today in Scotland’s Loch Ness). Apparently it was a five-foot-long baby, and is one of the best preserved Plesiosaur RenderingPlesiosaur skeletons ever found. Back when it was swimming the seas, the area’s climate was tropical. It’s speculated that it died and was well preserved from the debris of a volcanic eruption (remember, there was a lot of volcanic activity around Antarctica, contributing to the black rock you often see contrasting the white ice and snow in many photos). You can read a full article from ABC, Reuters or the Associated Press.

    oOoO, some scientist found some red blood cells in a dinosaur ( a T.Rex) by putting it in weak acid.

  6. zeel

    funy I’m not sur abot escaping sereis injury thogh that was a bad crash but not the worst clik my name to see what I mean.

    ARE YOU SERIOUS!!! Because if we got are hands on some dinosaur DNA there might be a possibility to clone one from the embryos. Have you ever seen Jurassic Park? Well it’s not entirelly true, because they used DNA in the movie which we havn’t had. But if we had some and replaced part of the DNA code it might be possible with todays evelotion, mutation, and DNA science. Can you tell me where to find that arcticle? Nice comic tyler. It reminds me of the Calvin and Hobbes comics where they are always speeding down the hill in Calvins wagon and talking about stuff ignoring the fact that they are hitting trees and rocks. Glad I don’t have to pull up the page and see Polar Bear snot anymore. Sorry for the long comment, but I’m a dino-nut. Next, of course, to being a penguin-nut.

  70. Rhuarc

    I just found this comic, and have already read all of the archive comics. I love it, it reminds me a lot of calvin & hobbes– of which I am a long time fan. Can’t wait for the next one.

  71. Professor Penguin

    Do you believe me OrAnJe JuIcE? Jurassic Park is my favorite book and movie. And if you read the book you get more understanding of the DNA sequence. It’s really cool.

    (Malcolm) Excuse me? Excuse me? You are going to have dinosaurs on you dinosaur tour aren’t you? Hello? knock knck knock…
    (Hammand) I really hate that man.

    Hey ! Je parle francais tres bein, non? Penguin Luvr 20 (or Kayla), I speak Francais too! Ca va? (sorry, my computer can’t do the accents) Also, qtpa2tnh, I subscribe to Zooboks too and I got my Polar Bear issue like a week ago! ;)
    Also, what’s up with the new Mr. Green (:mrgreen) thing?

  90. Sheena

    Sorry, I meant :mrgreen:

  91. qtpa2tnh

    Here is my fact : Most of the polar bears’ life is spent by hunting .Its favorite food is seal blubber .A polar bear wonders far and wide in its search for seals .Yet when it finds them , they aren’t easy to catch .A polar bear uses many different techniques to hunt seals. But most often , the seals get away , and the polar bear must continue its lonely search .

    Qtpa2tnh’s note : I think it’s good that most seals get away for one , because they are so cute(ecpecily[sorry if misspelled]the babies!)!.. And , it helps the population grow .

    P.S. Sorry Tyler for taking up space . :-(

  104. Sheena

    Wow, 116 comments! That has got to be the most comments ever!! Hey OrAnGe JuIcE, you haven’t shown up since the first few comics. Glad to have you back.

  105. zeel

    one had like 300

  106. Penguin Guru

    EVERYBODY STOP!!!! Look, I know it’s fun, but we’re spaming the comment section. I have to, but It’s gotten to out of hand. I propose, Tyler, that whenever thecomments reach 100, you either disable comments for that comic, or start a new comment page and delete all these old ones. I think that’s the best soulution.

  107. Emy le phénomène d'ours blanc ! ! ! ! ! !

    Bonjour à tous !
    Votre fait d’ours blanc est :
    Les ours blancs peuvent sentir le joint de glace qui sont environ 20 milles de distance.

I think Tyler has already told us he’ll e doing an actual comic book about how Wally got to the S.P. We just have to be patiant, but that dream idea isn’t that bad. You might want to consider it Tyler. It would be easier.

  124. zeel

    My e-mail is ; nathanielhallett@yahoo.com

  131. Rhuarc

    A better way to handle the comment spamming would be to limit the number of responses one person can make to the comment section, by email address. So, once you post 5 comments with one email address, you are not allowed to post any more comments. This is a nice deterrent for spamming.

    -Rhuarc

  132. Nicky-nack

    I know this is off-comic but has anyone seen Eragon???? I seen it on friday 15th december(my nana’s birthday) also the day when it was released in the UK (im from da UK)
