Build A Time Machine

I am delighted and unsurprised that Dina broke the webcomic barrier just because there was dinosaur conversation. Also, happy birthday, you tiny, tiny child. :-)

David H. Adler

Cameo!

Patrick Jackson

Happy Birthday Jeph! We're birthday twins!

Timothy Mann

THE CONVERGENCE IS UPON US

I have a feeling Ryan North is going to have some interesting things to say about this one.

Dinosaurs mentioned? So of course in the lower corner we see . . .

Jeph, I'm going to hit 66 earth orbits this week. And I want you to know THIS, and incorporate it in your life... Yeah, yeah, I ain't as young as I was once... But I sure the HELL ain't as old as I'm gonna get!

Just curious, is there a QC discord somewhere?

DresdenQ

Hey, Jeph, you must be pretty important because Google told me about your birthday. Not bad for an old man. <a href="https://imgur.com/txww718" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://imgur.com/txww718</a>

Dina!

Speaking of spider sex... by coincidence I ran across an amorous pair of Nereine radiata gettin' it on just a few hours ago while I was hiking, so of course I shot some video. For your edification: spider porn! <a href="https://www.facebook.com/1130258139/posts/10215181490787183/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/1130258139/posts/10215181490787183/</a>

I dunno... I could see Joyce Brown as Claire's best friend and not seeing the slightest conflict between that and being a religious conservative.

Ben Russell-Gough

Happy birthday Jeph! You're not old until you're telling kids to get off your lawn. Don't do that, and you're golden!

Cole Blackblood

So young.

Maurice Kessler

Happy birthday, Jeph. We've never met, but you are very important to me. Please keep doing you and know that you are appreciated and celebrated - especially on your birthday.

Joseph McGrath

Happy Birthday!

Ditto.

Alex Borders

Happy Birthday!!!

Happy birthday!

Bryan Freehan

Happy BIrthday, Jeph. (Seems like Dina is the one character from Willis' universe that would fit in without being at all out of place.)

kaitou

A genuine LOL. :)

Erin Halfelven at BigCloset

Happy Birthday, Jeph!

The do have a mutual interest in reptiles...

Captain Button

Being behind one door is not that different from being behind any door.

Captain Button

Happy birthday Jeph!

Dave

Happy Birthday! You are NOT OLD ... In fact you are in the same age range as my kids ... (And that makes "ME" REALLY OLD!) I read your comic because I love Si-Fi, I love AI, and I really enjoy the interpersonal dynamics that you imbue your characters with. And, of course, all your story arcs are wonderful, as is your exploration of the 'Issues-Of-The-Day'. I hop you enjoy and can continue to write your content for many, many years to come.

I’m stealing her and you can’t have her back

Jeph Jacques

AAAAAAAH it's DINAH! :D

Rob McBobson

I'm pretty sure I need that beanie.

Happy birthday!

Happy Birthday! PS ... 38 is NOT old! ;)

Nicki Faulk

Thanks, Jeph- questions I have never pondered at shortly before 7am has just had a huge disruption! HAHAHAH!

Karyl

Happy birthday 🎂 😄

Amy Gilroy

Ah, to be 38 again...

Bah. When 45 years old YOU reach look as good you will not.

Rudolph Gerber

Whose Dina?

Philip D Jones

Happy birthday!!

Happy birthday, Jeph and thanks for all the comics! I hope you'll have a fantastic day. Also, good question. May Emily find the answers.

Lars Gottlieb

She has a Dinosaur Science Sense and automatically turns up anywhere where people are talking about dinosaurs.

Ben Russell-Gough

Parthenogenesis.

Matthew Van Gangelen

Love the DoA reference

Leave Nelson B

Happy birthday!

Happy! (Flying imaginary blue pegasunicorn) Birthday! (1-Up power up mushroom) Jeph! (You know who... :)

Leak

Maybe Dina is the one who taught Sam her stealth skills.

ZPX

Dina? Where'd YOU come from?

Stoodmuffin

Same age here... happy birthday Jeph!

Jeebus, Junior, stop whining about yer age. I got bottles of single malt scotch that are older than you. I own four saxophones, and all of'em are older than you (and yeah, they're falling apart faster than you are). Hell, my car is 34 year old, and unless you're leaking oil, you're doing better than it is.

Jason Zions

Jeph -- just wait until you're 52. Then you'll feel really old. ;)

Brad Knowles

I think that it's a sign of just how powerful a mind Emily has that she can commit a chunk of her intellect to imponderables whilst still being able to do her job. Given that Coffee of Doom has already been home to a time machine, it is not beyond the bounds of possibility that Emily may get her answers one day! FWIW, I seem to recall them finding a female T-Rex skeleton with cosmetic fractures to the vertebrae around the pelvis that indicate that male T-Rexes were probably very enthusiastic about it! Meanwhile, meet Emily's nice-but-weird kid cousin, Dina!

Ben Russell-Gough

Ah, Emily, never change.

Ack

Happy birthday, Jeph! You are 3 years and 3 days older than me. I hope you are enjoying your time, and thank you for the early gift! :P

David Paul

Dina!!!!!!!!!

Red L

Old! Don't talk to me about old, here I am, getting ready to end my 6th decade on this planet, don't talk to me about old... :-) Sorry, just channeling some paranoid android or other. Happy birthday!

Andrew Diseker

Happy birthday !

lostineno

Happy birthday Jeph!

:D

David Willis

I'm going to go ahead and say that those two could have a great friendship

It makes me very happy to see Dina here. She's my favorite character in D of A. Happy Birthday, Jeph!

Michael Grogan

Joyeux anniversaire :)

This is relevant for Dina's interests.

Bagge

... Also, am I the only one who doesn't remember Dina?

Julienne Ignace

Happy birthday Jeph!.... And trust me, you're not old.... Yet! 😜

Julienne Ignace

Who's DIna?

Churchill (formerly TeaBear)

I remember when I thought 38 was old. Good times.

Dean Reilly

YOURE A GEMINI

Elliott Case

...a wild Dinah appeared!

Gabrielle Fusco

Happy birthday!

Leona

Are we about to be treated to an Abby Howard-esque surprise dino-facts comic? <a href="http://www.jspowerhour.com/comics/157" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.jspowerhour.com/comics/157</a>

OMG I DIDN'T EVEN SEE HER

Fart Captor

Emily asking the IMPORTANT questions

Fart Captor

Cameos!

Not knowing is probably for the best. Happy birthday!!

Kyle Major

Hippo, Birdy, Two Ewes!

BobC

OH SHIT DINA

Minzoku Bokumetsu

Happy birthday!

Olivia Irene

Happy Birthday Sproutling!

Marc Pengryffyn

Happy Birthday! Mine too! I'm a bit older than 38 though... &lt;3

Denni

Happy birthday, Jeph!

Erin Hartshorn

We share a birthday! Happy birthday!!

Marie C

Is Dina here to bring up T-Rex vs. T.Rex ? She feels strongly about pronouncing it with a hypen!

Andrew

Happy birthday!

fixxnfoxy

Happy Birthday! Maybe the eels (that we don't know where they go) have something to do with Dinosaur Sex.

Am Queue

Dina, how'd you get from Indiana to Massachusetts? You have class later today!

Grace Kieser

At least until she and Becky started dating

Grace Kieser

38? Jeph you are a tiny fetus

Rook Hallan

Happy Orbit Day, ya' young whipper-snapper.

Al Hunt

38!? Get off my dang lawn! :)

Summer Sudbrink

Is that a job or a very niche kink? :)

Andrew

Happy birthday! You're 5 days younger than I am. And loving the Dina cameo. :)

Meghan

Happy birthday Jeph, I hope it's fantastic. :) Butt-to-butt is what I'd go with. Looks romantic.

Faye X

There’s a great book called Dynamics of Dinosaurs and other Extinct Giants. It has a nice section on sex.

Matt Grayson

Happy birthday! You're *so* young!!!

Ol' Firebones

"... but when he found her, he fell down dead/For it seems that gal had a left-hand thread." :D

Happy Birthmas Jeph!

Stuart Telfer

Dumbing of Age / It's Walky / Shortpacked character.

David Willis is how I found QC. He did a guest strip, 2747. I checked it out, read a few of the older strips and was hooked. Now QC and DoA are they only two webcomics I keep up with.

Populuxe

DINA EXPLAIN TO US THE MYSTERIES

Gigglebyte

AUGH I feel dumb but who is Dina?

Danya Michael

Telescoping Wiener Situation would be a great name for a band.

Richard

also: happy birthday Jeph!

LH

"telescoping weiner situation"

LH

Ask Dina. Wonder if she hopped over to this dimension because the soggies overran the previous one. And Happy Birthday!

Brent Catherman

OH MY GOD DINA

R L

Dina! this explains why we haven't seen much of her lately in DoA, I guess...

Matt

Happy birthday, infant. (I'm a couple decades older than you.) Hey, Emily: birds don't all get it on the same way, either. Some have spiral-shaped dicks to go into spiral-shaped vaginas.

Carl Fink

That’s what I thought the headline article on the May issue of Scientific American was about. <a href="https://www.scientificamerican.com/magazine/sa/2018/05-01/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.scientificamerican.com/magazine/sa/2018/05-01/</a>

Adam Friedlander

I hope Dina sticks around for another strip because WE NEED ANSWERS.

Celine Chamberlin

I’m going to be thinking about this question for days... happy birthday

Dina!!!

Matt Grayson

I love Dina! Not as much as Becky does, but still...

Populuxe

Happy Birthday!

Julie Scott

Gosh, I have missed Dina &lt;3 I didn’t realize how much until I saw her in the corner. Thank you for reminding me of an other comic I need to catch up on 💗

Happy Birthday, Jeph! ^_^

Joshua Roberts

I also feel like this comic is a direct response to certain questions Jeph has been receiving about certain other characters...if so, well played, sir!

Will Weaver

Happy birthday! Hi, Dina. Dinosaur sex was probably the first time she thought much about sex at all.

Stephen Ray

Ha! Emily is a lot like me, except with me it's spider sex, and I'm lucky enough to have plenty of research that tells me how they do it.

Ol' Firebones

Happy birthday, Jeph! Also, Emily WOULD be spending her spare time thinking about reptiles’ junk, because Emily.

Will Weaver

Happy birthday, Jeph!
