More like therapy, and it’s still not going to be enough.

These are like dinosanscomics except with a less readable font. So much like it that the format/theme seems lifted entirely. 😕

The format and theme of being a comic that has dinosaurs in it? That is literally the only thing that they have in common. That’s it. Dinos and Comics covers a wide variety of stuff but typically sticks to friendship (with a dash of social awkwardness) and puns. ADHDinos specifically talks about ADHD and living with it. Also that ‘less readable font’ is called OpenDyslexic which was specifically designed to be readable to people with Dyslexia. While they should have put a border around the words to make it easier to see, the font is pretty legible and I’m gonna openly support them for using an accessibility font.

Format, theme, art style, colors…

Format

Dinos and Comics does not have an exclusive or unique claim to being a webcomic.

Theme

As stated above, it does not share a theme. Dinos and Comics focuses on friendship and puns. ADHDinos focuses on ADHD and living with it. In fact it exclusively revolves around ADHD itself and uses that as the entire core concept of the comic, using each comic itself to specifically talk about one issue of having ADHD.

Art style

There’s a similarity but, again, Dinos and Comics does not have an exclusive or unique claim on that art style. That same art style has existed for many years and will continue to exist. Moreover, ADHDinos puts genuinely more work into the art. There’s more shading, the characters actually move, and the panels frequently are different instead of just a zoomed in version of what came before it.

Colors

No. Dinos and Comics uses pastel colors of a large variety. ADHDinos uses darker colors and the same ones repeatedly.

So let me rephrase something from earlier.

The format and theme of being a comic that has vaguely similar dinosaurs in it? That is literally the only thing that they have in common. They cover different topics and have their own visual distinctions. It is not a ‘rip off’ simply because they look kind of similar, especially when the entire core concept of the comics are different themselves.

I’m not continuing this conversation.

irmoz,

I 100% agree with you, you are completely right, but I also think you’re being unnecessarily… defensive?

WoahWoah,

Yeah I was laughing about this irony before I even read your comment lol

irmoz,

I’m just realising it may have been intentional

Also that ‘less readable font’ is called OpenDyslexic which was specifically designed to be readable to people with Dyslexia.

Neat, TIL. To my eyes, it looks like the font was rendered at a specific point size and then scaled up unevenly, like on an old LCD screen with a mismatched resolution. I found myself trying to zoom in to clear it up. If others find it more readable, that's awesome.

As for thematics, Dinos and comics started off with a heavy slant on neurodivergency (and navigating it) in general, ADHD included. Later ones skewed heavily towards "I am happy with my partner" type stuff. Which is cute and all, but doesn't hit the same.

That’s the short form equation that ignores environmental pressure, the long form has a separate term that accounts for shelter and sentience as a factor between 0 and 1, as well as a quotient for empathy with a numerator of associate happiness.

Cuddle fish and asparagus…or vanilla paste?

Yes

Okay, I’ll eat both…just as soon as apple and/or amazon sews your lips to my anus. Maybe I’ll stack some fiberone bars on top of it so that I fart for a few hours before the shit comes out.

Wouldn’t that be “Ribbeted For Her Pleasure”?

Omega_Jimes, in "Just Season It" by Mr.Lovenstein

Also don’t boil your vegetables. I was raised in boiled broccoli and sprouts, and steaming baskets changed my life!

Never “just” steam your veggies. Do a quick stirfry in oil with garlic then use the residual steam to finish it up!

banana_meccanica, in Equation by Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal

Perception is the hardest that destroy the equation. All have their personal own, there isn’t a universal right perception, common is living a lie to keep going.

MajorHavoc,

But maximizing the lie is a perfectly cromulent way to achieve happiness.

TeraFloppy,

It should be p(f+s+m)

“I don’t fucking think so” is a perfect double entendre to end the comic on

Skkorm, in "Just Season It" by Mr.Lovenstein

I just spent Thanksgiving with my family, and was reminded how much my parents love boiling things. Fucking disgusting, no spices either? Fuck bland potatoes. It takes almost no effort to just toss a bunch of fucking spices on them and then put them in the oven.

Breezy,

Isnt thanksgiving a month from now? Are you like from the future? Why did you suddenly come back? Is the whole world doomed and you came back to warn us of something terrible?!?!?

thalience,

Canada also has a holiday called “Thanksgiving”, and it was last week

Franzia,

Omg yikes you’re Canadian?

SatansMaggotyCumFart,

There’s dozens of us.

Serinus,

I dunno, time travel seems more reasonable.

ChickenLadyLovesLife,

My dad does this, just boils vegetables and potatoes so long that they’re reduced to their component quarks and then serves them in a bowl with nothing on them. For bonus points, he makes sure they’ve cooled off to room temperature before we eat. I want to blame the Great Depression for this style of “cuisine”, but he was born after that shit.

No excuse for bland potatoes. Even boiled, they can taste good. Low effort, throw some dill on those bastards. It’s that easy. My mom is diabetic, and down a kidney, so salt and sugar are not really things in the food she makes, but it always tastes good.

Oh, we already knew it was you, Jerry. We just try to not acknowledge it at social functions. (͡•_ ͡• )

Draegur,

c’mon guys let’s ditch jerry

dangblingus, in "Just Season It" by Mr.Lovenstein

Raw veggies taste great, we’re just used to tasting nothing but salt and sugar in our food these days we think veg tastes bad.

hooded_squid,

I mean food shouldn't be salted to the point that it tastes salty, just to the point that it tastes good

This!

Boiled carrots 🤮

Raw carrots 👍

Boiled broccoli 🤮

Raw broccoli 👍
