Book Info: This book contains all Dinosaur Comics from 2007. 256 pages, color.
"Holy smokes, a Dinosaur Comics book, unabridged and in full colour, AND with all three secret texts for each comic included! And it is the most gorgeous ever in time. I guess things are looking up after all!
Featuring a choose-your-own-introduction by Andrew Hussie of MS Paint Adventures and two new indices written by me, Ryan: one where I did an Actual Scientific N-Gram Analysis of the comic and another more practical one that includes, among other things, the two different types of phones referenced by T-Rex (ie: "homographic autantonymic homo-"), this book might just be the very thing you need to put in your house to make it... the raddest? It's even got special guest comics by Chris "Dr. McNinja" Hastings, Aaron "Dresden Codak" Diaz and Rebecca "House of Sugar" Kraatz! Look, it's always dangerous to personify books, but "Dinosaur Comics: Everybody Knows Failure is Just Success Rounded Down" wants to be in your life. I know it.

547 books1,613 followersHi, I'm Ryan! I was born in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada in 1980 and since then have written several books. You can read my Wikipedia page for more, or check out my author site at RyanNorth.ca!
I'm the author of the webcomic Dinosaur Comics (that's the comic where the pictures don't change but the words do, it's better than it sounds and I've also done crazy things like turn Shakespeare into a choose-your-own-path adventure, write a comic for Marvel about a girl with all the powers of a squirrel, or mess up walking my dog so badly it made the news.
I'm working on more stuff as we speak, hopefully it's good

SAMANTHA IS STILL A PRETTY NAME!!!

Ryan North, writer of The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, Marvel's best comic title right now, is incredibly clever, so it's not surprising that his daily webcomic is so very witty.
However, I find that this daily comic, with the brilliant creative device of using the exact same illustrations and panel layout for every sequence, is much more easily taken in small doses, like a page a day, than an entire year's worth of daily comics in two days, with nothing changing between them but captions and dialogue, as was this book.
