I am delighted and unsurprised that Dina broke the webcomic barrier just because there was dinosaur conversation. Also, happy birthday, you tiny, tiny child. :-)
Cameo!
Happy Birthday Jeph! We're birthday twins!
THE CONVERGENCE IS UPON US
Dinosaurs mentioned? So of course in the lower corner we see . . .
Just curious, is there a QC discord somewhere?
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>
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!
So young.
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.
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday!!!
Happy birthday!
Happy BIrthday, Jeph. (Seems like Dina is the one character from Willis' universe that would fit in without being at all out of place.)
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.
A genuine LOL. :)
Happy Birthday, Jeph!
Happy birthday Jeph!
AAAAAAAH it's DINAH! :D
I'm pretty sure I need that beanie.
Happy birthday!
Happy Birthday! PS ... 38 is NOT old! ;)
Thanks, Jeph- questions I have never pondered at shortly before 7am has just had a huge disruption! HAHAHAH!
Happy birthday 🎂 😄
Ah, to be 38 again...
Ditto.
Bah. When 45 years old YOU reach look as good you will not.
Whose Dina?

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.
Parthenogenesis.
Love the DoA reference
Happy birthday!
Happy! (Flying imaginary blue pegasunicorn) Birthday! (1-Up power up mushroom) Jeph! (You know who... :)
Maybe Dina is the one who taught Sam her stealth skills.
The do have a mutual interest in reptiles...
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.
Jeph -- just wait until you're 52. Then you'll feel really old. ;)
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!
Ah, Emily, never change.
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
Dina!!!!!!!!!
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!
Happy birthday !
Happy birthday Jeph!
:D
I’m stealing her and you can’t have her back
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!
Joyeux anniversaire :)
This is relevant for Dina's interests.
Happy birthday Jeph!.... And trust me, you're not old.... Yet! 😜
... Also, am I the only one who doesn't remember Dina?
Who's DIna?
I remember when I thought 38 was old. Good times.
YOURE A GEMINI
...a wild Dinah appeared!
Happy birthday!
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>
Emily asking the IMPORTANT questions
Cameos!
Not knowing is probably for the best. Happy birthday!!
Hippo, Birdy, Two Ewes!
OH SHIT DINA
OMG I DIDN'T EVEN SEE HER
Happy birthday!
Happy Birthday Sproutling!
Happy Birthday! Mine too! I'm a bit older than 38 though... <3
We share a birthday! Happy birthday!!
Is Dina here to bring up T-Rex vs. T.Rex ? She feels strongly about pronouncing it with a hypen!
Happy birthday!
Happy Birthday! Maybe the eels (that we don't know where they go) have something to do with Dinosaur Sex.
Dina, how'd you get from Indiana to Massachusetts? You have class later today!
Being behind one door is not that different from being behind any door.
38? Jeph you are a tiny fetus
Happy Orbit Day, ya' young whipper-snapper.
Happy birthday! You're 5 days younger than I am. And loving the Dina cameo. :)
Happy birthday Jeph, I hope it's fantastic. :) Butt-to-butt is what I'd go with. Looks romantic.
There’s a great book called Dynamics of Dinosaurs and other Extinct Giants. It has a nice section on sex.
Happy birthday! You're *so* young!!!
Happy Birthmas Jeph!
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.
DINA EXPLAIN TO US THE MYSTERIES
AUGH I feel dumb but who is Dina?
Dumbing of Age / It's Walky / Shortpacked character.
Telescoping Wiener Situation would be a great name for a band.
also: happy birthday Jeph!
"telescoping weiner situation"
Ask Dina. Wonder if she hopped over to this dimension because the soggies overran the previous one. And Happy Birthday!
OH MY GOD DINA
Dina! this explains why we haven't seen much of her lately in DoA, I guess...
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.
"... but when he found her, he fell down dead/For it seems that gal had a left-hand thread." :D
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>
spores
I hope Dina sticks around for another strip because WE NEED ANSWERS.
I’m going to be thinking about this question for days... happy birthday
Dina!!!
I love Dina! Not as much as Becky does, but still...
Happy Birthday!
Gosh, I have missed Dina <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 💗
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!
Happy Birthday, Jeph! ^_^
Happy birthday! Hi, Dina. Dinosaur sex was probably the first time she thought much about sex at all.
At least until she and Becky started dating
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.
Is that a job or a very niche kink? :)
Happy birthday, Jeph! Also, Emily WOULD be spending her spare time thinking about reptiles’ junk, because Emily.
Happy birthday, Jeph!
