Comic Strips

Eighty million years ago,
Back in the Late Cretaceous,
Lived the great Tyrannosaur,
A fearsome and predacious
Theropod of monstrous size!
He weighed six tons or more!
He epitomized the concept of
The killer carnivore!

Calvin: The Tyrannosaurus stalks the Cretaceous shores! The 5-ton carnivorous lizard can run faster than a charging rhino! What could be more horrifying?
Calvin's Mom: STOMP THAT CLOMPING AROUND!!
Calvin: (Cutting Back to Reality) ...Besides the blood-curdling roar of its mom...

"As a rule, [dinosaurs] were vegetarians, rather amiable and easy to get along with. However, there were bullies and gangsters among them. The worst of the lot, a brute named Tyrannosaurus rex, was probably the meanest killer that ever roamed the earth."
Deems Taylor, Fantasia

Buster: Hey, ain't you a dinosaur?
Rex: Why, yes. From tooth to toe I am.
Buster: Then what the heck are you doin' playin' golf?
Rex: I'm smart, Buster. I'm one smart dinosaur. But... I wasn't always.
Buster: You weren't?
Rex: No... no siree. No, I started off stupid and violent.
Buster: You did?
Rex: This was a long time ago, you understand? A long time ago. I was a real terror then. I was a real animal... and I was hungry all the time.

"Ah, yes. The 'tyrant lizard'. The Tyrannosaurus rex. Favorite of early century fiction writers and adolescent children everywhere. And why? Because it represents everything we fear about the past. It's what we believe that we've conquered, even though it ceased to exist before humanity had reached the proto-ape stage. And that was true. Until now. Until you."
Dr. Ian Malcolm, Jurassic World: Evolution

Live-Action TV

Earl: I'm the mighty Megalosaurus. The king of the dinosaurs. The thunder lizard. And when the king of the dinosaurs wants a 90-inch television set, he's going to get a 90-inch television set. So what do you say about that?
Fran: The Tyrannosaurus rex is king of the dinosaurs.
Earl: That's debatable.
Fran: No it's not. I dated one in high school.
Dinosaurs, "The Mighty Megalosaurus"

"Away from the poles, dinosaurs continued to thrive for another forty million years before extinction. In the final program, we will see how, just before the end of their reign, they evolved the most terrifying predator that has ever walked the Earth."
Kenneth Branagh, Walking with Dinosaurs, "Spirits of the Ice Forest" outro

Apocalypse becomes creation,

Before you jump into his gizzard,
Fall and worship tyrant lizard!
