T. Rex {nakedly}: I've become...
T. Rex {nudely}: ...a quick-change artist!
T. Rex {disrobedly}: Please note my current attire. And now...
T. Rex {now wearing a red blazer, blue shorts, and a black tie}: BAM!
Utahraptor: Sorry, T. Rex. I interpreted that panel transition as encompassing roughly 28 minutes - a timeframe which I'm sure you'll appreciate renders a change of clothes singularly unimpressive.
T. Rex {still dressed}: Curse you, Scott McCloud!

Quick-change is a performance art - you might consider it a form of magic, at the very least it's related - where the performer changes (or appears to change) their outfit repeatedly and, um, quickly a number of times over the course of the performance. Since these changes often rely on removing an outer layer of clothes to reveal another costume underneath, or converting one costume into another, going from fully naked to fully dressed as T. Rex does here would be a very impressive feat indeed (done in under 28 minutes, anyway).
