Strip by: David Morgan-Mar, Andrew Coker
T-Rex: T-Rexes live to about 30 years.[1][2] I'm 15.
T-Rex: MID-LIFE CRISIS![3]
T-Rex; But I'm also a teenager! I want to buy a sports car but I don't make enough on my paper route!
Utahraptor: That that's tough? I live to 12!
Utahraptor: I'm having my mid-life crisis and don't even have my grown-up teeth yet.
T-Rex: Wait. Why do we have milk teeth?
T-Rex: That makes zero sense![4]
