All Directions Point to North!
You may already know Ryan North. He seems to be at the center of the Toronto Comix Mafia, which is fascinating, because as far as I can tell, Ryan North can’t really draw. No, really. His website at qwantz.com is called Dinosaur Comics, and it’s a sort of clip-art haiku meditation on cheerful philosophical absurdity.
Using the same six panels in every comic, he expounds upon the mysteries of life and the marvels of science with the help of… well, dinosaurs, natch. They feature a rambunctious, party-loving T-Rex and his compatriots, the level-headed Dromiceiomimus and the long-suffering Utahraptor, who spend their time discussing the nature of friendship, gender, and Batman. T-Rex loves him some Batman, ladies and dudes.
You may find his style contagious; I feel sure you’ll be using capslock a lot more in your day to day life. Also, trufax: he inspired Matt to to write a choose your own adventure book! This is a man who enjoys joy, and isn’t afraid to be enthusiastic, and that makes him fuckin’ adorable.
Ryan North is also the man behind Project Wonderful, a kinder, gentler model for web advertising, and he’s always giving folks he digs a shoutout. Thanks to him, I discovered Kate Beaton 
and Anthony Clark, people whose comics match Ryan’s for charm and wit, with the added bonus of magnificent art skills. Really just A++ stuff, and they too have twitter accounts that are very worth your while.
In summary, Ryan North is my favorite thing ever because he’s funny and kind, and because he wrote this comic, which may well have led to me falling in love with Matt. (I can’t really tell you how, but I can say that it involved T-shirts and Valentine’s Day.) Ryan North is a force for good in the world, and I can’t recommend him highly enough.
That’s it for SCIENCE, bitches!
You have a limited amount of time, so why spend it reading about things that suck or are only kind of okay? Favorite thing EVER is not a review site. We're unrepentant fans, and this is the stuff we love. Hope you like gushing, because we're about to embarrass ourselves.
Apparently I owe this guy my writing career AND my fiancée. Now I only fear the inevitable day when he decides that he gave it and he can TAKE IT ALL AWAY.
He’s married now. Also, I would never have made it through the physical trials.
xoxo to infinity and beyond!
I know I’m wrong, but I would kind of marry T Rex. I love his exuberance.
Love is never wrong, baby. He’d be lucky to have you! And I’m pretty sure he’s down with polyamory, so you and Alyx can keep him together!
Whoa, the kilogram comic is my favourite one! NICE.
It’s my favorite, too!
