Took a long second to draw out some characters of people that’ve inspired me, and then my comic characters in their worlds. Going to post it on my webcomic’s blog because i am talking about comics!

First one is Raptormaniacs by @albertonykus . I used to read these a bunch when i was little and a bullied autistic child, and I probably wouldnt have my sense of humour or interest in strange interesting things(including paleo-stuff!) without raptormaniacs. Also, i got to meet Mx. Tonykus at svp about a year ago and he said a nice sentence about me on the raptormaniacs blog! Really nice experience

Next is @lackadaisycats. If you are ever writing a early 20th century furry webcomic(i am!) you will hear about lackadaisy. People will tell you. And you will be delighted to read something with such nice art and well thought out characters! I learned about lackadaisy later in life then the other two comics, but i am so happy i know of it now!

The last is Ethan Kocak. Similar with raptormanaics, i read his The Black Mudpuppy when i was bullied and little. Also Chile and Yi, and Tetzoo Time. TBM was really important to me at the time, and still is today(same with raptormaniacs!) i am really happy it exists. I drew pre-reboot TBM as his wacky cartoon form is very appealing to me

If you guys were in My Little Maniraptor, what would your cutie marks be?

Or maybe I should have a collections drawer? Hmm…

Wow, I’ve been blogging for more than seven years. Some reflections are in order.

Thoughts on potoos?

It would appear that the artist has hijacked this answer to promote his new paper…

Savape, what would happen if the museum got a second Archaeopteryx?

I suppose I wouldn’t really need it though. I already win every time. Maybe what we need is a second Deinonychus to show Ostrom the ropes!

What would Skull do if a reasonable paper finds out that Tsaagan is a species of Velociraptor?

Besides, species are just constructs you make up to understand the biosphere.

Have you seen the movie "Night at the Museum"? Can you compare it to the events happening in your museum ?

Are Ostrom and Remex going to get a remake soon since 1. Zhenyuanlong proves ground dwelling dromaeosaurs do not have fan tails and 2. Caudipteryx's color has been revealed.

As for Ostrom, Zhenyuanlong proves nothing of the sort. Zhenyuanlong shows that we shouldn’t assume that all dromaeosaurids had Microraptor-like tail feathering, but that doesn’t make Microraptor-like tail plumage incorrect if applied to other dromaeosaurids. If anything, the lesson of Zhenyuanlong is that tail feathering was variable in dromaeosaurids, and a variety of different tail feathering can be plausibly depicted on taxa for which we currently lack direct evidence of their plumage.
