Strip by: David Morgan-Mar

T-Rex: In the world of my imagination, everyone has a mango tree.
T-Rex: That's a lot of mangoes!
T-Rex: You eat them until they come out of your ears! Everyone is sick of eating mangoes. And when they fall off the tree and start to rot, the stench is horrible.
T-Rex: And they attract bats, and rats, and other vermin.
Utahraptor: T-Rex, your imagination is dark, bitter, and ultimately unhealthy!
T-Rex: Have you been peeking at my chocolate world too?!

The author writes:

I love mangoes, but this comic was inspired by a friend who lived for several years in Townsville, where there are mango trees all over the place. He said he can't enjoy mangoes any more; the smell makes him feel sick to his stomach.

I guess there is too much of a good thing.
