Dinosaur Comics is a popular webcomic created by Ryan North featuring animated dinosaurs with witty dialogue. The comic is known for its consistent artwork, as the same set of dinosaur characters appear in every strip with different captions. Its humor often explores philosophy, science, and everyday life in a clever, humorous way.
The comic's style is distinctive, using simple, repetitive images of the T-Rex, Utahraptor, and Raptors against a static background, allowing the focus to be on the dialogue and ideas expressed. This format has contributed to its widespread popularity and ease of recognition among fans. Dinosaur Comics has also expanded into books, merchandise, and other media, gaining a dedicated following.
Regarding the quote, "Everybody knows failure is just success rounded down," it exemplifies the comic’s humorous take on intellectual themes. The phrase suggests that what we perceive as failure is simply success in a less-than-ideal form, playing with ideas of perception and perspective in an amusing and thought-provoking way. Dinosaur Comics often employs this style of humor to make philosophical concepts accessible and entertaining.
