Because of this, back in 2012, I decided to doodle a little cartoon of this and post it on my facebook page. Here it is below.
Well I never would have guessed, this thing actually went viral as soon as a certain popular science-themed facebook group caught wind of it and posted it to their page. I had people all over the world sharing this cartoon and laughing at it. I started getting texts from people I know telling me they saw it on their newsfeed...but not from me! (If I remember correctly the group did credit me as the artist, as they should have.)

| In case you were wondering the nonavian dinosaurs pictured are from left yo right: Dakotaraptor, Tyrannosaurus, and Dryptosaurus. All three members of the coelurosaur group, which also includes birds. |
Well this year I decided to do that cartoon again with a bit more care put in. (a bit...its still a sketch basically with paint on it.) Enjoy!
As you enjoy your meal this Thanksgiving, remember to respect your bird because millions of years ago, its relatives were eating ours!
The redrawn cartoon is much, much better; I especially love the expression on the Rex's face, it's kind of like "This thing...it is for ALL of us?"
