4''MILK DUST'' is an animation by Youtube and Newgrounds animator [[https://www.youtube.com/user/deadlycomics1 DeadlyComics]]. In it, a [[ItMakesSenseInContext dinosaur working her shift at a mug shop tells her manager (who is an anthropomorphic cat with a]] ThousandYardStare, [[ItMakesSenseInContext by the way)]] that she's going on lunch break. Just as she sets off, she suddenly ends up in her manager's car, and he gives her a bird. And then it begins.

9!!Tropes:

11* AspectRatioSwitch: Most of the cartoon is presented as if it's from a 4:3 ratio VHS recording, but it switches to 16:9 towards the end.
12* AerithAndBob:{{Inverted|Trope}}: Sibbie the dinosaur is the only one with a relatively normal name.
13* AllThereInTheManual: Scouring the creator's social media reveals that the cat, dinosaur and bird's names are [[WhoNamesTheirKidDude Gluestick]], Sibbie and Imhotep respectively. [[note]]They'll all be referred to by these names from here on to prevent confusion.[[/note]] The names are listed in the end credits, but no indication on who is what.
14* CelebrityEndorsement: It looks like at some point, the dinosaur became an advertising mascot, but doesn't look happy at all.
15* DerangedAnimation: ''Like you wouldn't believe''. The entire thing feels like some sort of LostEpisode that was only just found, and was likely lost for a good reason.
16* {{Retraux}}: Most of the short is presented as if it was recorded from a VHS tape, complete with 4:3 aspect ratio. It isn't until near the end that it switches to 16:9 HD.
17* TheSpeechless: The short's creator is credited for voicing Imhotep the bird, even though it doesn't have any lines at all. WordOfGod says they were the voice in your head while "you were watching the thing."
