Dinosaur Comics Books in Order

Dinosaur Comics is the long-running comic created by Ryan North, not Randall Munroe. Its unusual setup is part of the joke: the artwork uses the same set of dinosaur panels again and again, while the dialogue changes completely. T-Rex, Utahraptor, Dromiceiomimus, and a few familiar companions can be discussing romance, ethics, history, philosophy, pop culture, or a wildly confident plan that falls apart by the last panel.

The repeated art gives the series a dependable rhythm. T-Rex is often the loudest voice, full of grand declarations and sudden schemes. Utahraptor pushes back, Dromiceiomimus brings a different angle, and the conversations can leap from a simple joke to an argument about identity, mortality, or what people owe one another. The dinosaurs do not need a changing landscape because the real action is in the words.

It is a comic with a fixed stage and an unlimited supply of digressions.

The collection Feelings are boring, kissing is awesome. gathers a year's worth of strips in this format. The title captures the book's blend of blunt emotion, awkward confidence, and playful contradiction. Like the wider series, it is not a continuous story, so readers can open it almost anywhere and get the basic setup quickly.

The tone shifts easily. One strip may be a silly argument about kissing or dinosaurs. Another may turn into an earnest exchange about love, friendship, fear, or growing up. That mix is why the series can feel both broadly comic and unexpectedly thoughtful. The characters are cartoon dinosaurs, but their arguments are often recognizably human.

Randall Munroe appears in the listed collection as one of several guest cartoonists, rather than as the creator of the ongoing strip. Readers arriving through his work may recognize the same interest in letting a comic premise run far past the point where a normal conversation would stop. His contribution fits comfortably among a book that enjoys big ideas, strange logic, and jokes that take their own time getting where they are going.

For new readers, Feelings are boring, kissing is awesome. is an easy entry point. Expect talky humor, recurring dinosaur personalities, and a series that makes a virtue of doing something different with the exact same pictures every time.
