Web Comic: Raptormaniacs

Raptormaniacs is a Web Comic by our own troper Albertonykus. He describes it as "an attempt at a web comic side project with maniraptors. They express whatever funny or unfunny jokes that turn up inside my head, parody songs

, and occasionally provide a few legitimate scientific facts."

Check it out.

This strip provides examples of:

Author Avatar: In the second strip, at that.
Big Damn Heroes: Said word-for-word in this strip.
Big Guy, Little Guy: Ebeff and Remex, respectively.
Breaking the Fourth Wall: Ostrom does this from time to time.
Dumb Muscle: Ebeff.
Eats Babies: Savape in the puggles arc.
Everything's Better With Platypi: The puggles arc.
Expository Theme Tune: And one that parodies Animaniacs at that. Enjoy!◊
Infant Immortality: Averted in the puggles arc.
Meaningful Name: All of the characters except Zahavi.
Only Sane Man: Ostrom.
Raptor Attack:
- Averted hard by Skull the Eumaniraptor Trio.
- It's played straight once◊, but it was intentional.
Science Marches On: Unfortunately, Ebeff often fails to take notice when it does.
Seldom Seen Species: Jinfengopteryx, Tsaagan and Caudipteryx.
Shown Their Work:
- The strip's maniraptorans are all properly feathered.
- A recent strip featuring a tyrannosaurid correctly shows its fused nasal bones.
