February 3rd, 2012: Today and all weekend I'm at Running GAGG in Geneseo, which is a great opportunity to come out and say "hi". And maybe exchange high fives? It seems only likely. Gentleman Chris Hastings of Dr. McNinja will be there with me! I've mentioned how I'm writing the Adventure Time comic, which debuts this Wednesday, February 8th at a comic book store near you. Look what I got in the mail already! (Big version here.) It is really exciting after months of work to have a real thing in your hands. Hooray! Oh! Also, in the evenings I've been reading the amazing Back To The Future Novelization published in 1985 and taking people through it page-by-page. The book is crazy, and was written based off an early draft of the script, so all sorts of stuff is nutty. Here's the first post and here's Page 1, which should give you a taste of how amazing this book is (everybody dies on the first page). B to the F is the name of the site! Or B^F (I haven't decided yet but come on, B^F is the best abbreviation for "Back to the Future" ever in time) So in summary, thank you for letting me do this job, and here is a lot of fun stuff I wrote for for you to read! – Ryan

February 1st, 2012: Today is the birthday of Dinosaur Comics! It was on this day in the sepia-toned past when I put up the very first dinosaured comic. And as always, today is a chance for me to thank you for reading my comic, thank you for supporting it through buying awesome things, and thank you for telling your friends about it. My job is to work for the internet, and it is the best job in the world! Thank you all so much. This weekend I'll be at Running GAGG in Geneseo, which is a great opportunity to come out and say "hi".

January 30th, 2012: You know how I've made my own magnetic word kit? And how it's awesome because it has Dinosaur Comics words in it, and is the only place you'll get the word "heteroflexible" to be on your fridge? Check out what Rob did with his: Sweeeet. And the words inside form poetry! This is... THE BEST. – Ryan

ghosts that eat food are dicks because they consume resources without needing to and without generating anything from them. it is pure waste. even if a ghost recycles the container the food came in, they're still not good ghosts. geez. come on.

January 20th, 2012: Remember yesterday, when I mentioned the amazing "Sherlock Holmes Unlocks The Secrets of Effective High-Performance MySQL Database Administration"? I got a few emails saying "holy crap I would read that book" (so would I!) and then Bredon sends me... THIS. Anyway long story short I'm pretty sure I wrote it in the future and sent it through time to be published back in 1983. I bought it and when it arrives I'll let you know what secrets I'm going to / already have left there for myself! – Ryan

January 19th, 2012: Yesterday Dinosaur Comics participated in the SOPA/PIPA blackout, as you probably noticed! You can go back to yesterday's comic and read it without interruption, and with the non-censored title text it was originally going to have! It was a success, but there's still work to do. If you'd like to see the censored page again, add butiwouldratherbereading=theRIAAversionoftheinternet to the comics URL. – Ryan

also what about inflation, are we to be continually increasing the fine amounts, or do minor crimes become about 3% more attractive every 365 days
