T-Rex: T-Rex presents The Periodic Table:
T-Rex: 10. NEON
T-Rex: An inert gas which glows when you pass an electric current through it, thus making is great for lights.
Utahraptor: Anything glows if you pass enough current though it.
Utahraptor: You can make a gherkin glow that way. True!
T-Rex: Damn! I just installed neon signs on my pickle shop.
T-Rex: Talk about a missed opportunity.
T-Rex: What a dill!

Things postfixed with "True!" in this comic are (usually) actually true! Gherkins do glow. Also sausages and pears.
