Raptor Fences

Image text: If at least one person has a nightmare about being swarmed by hundreds of mouse-sized dromaeosaurids, my work will have been done.
This is a reference to the movie Jurassic Park. In this scene, the power goes out and so do the electric fences that keep the raptors in their cages. This obviously puts the characters in extreme danger... unless of course like this comic, they are mini dinosaurs.

For those who don’t know Jurassic Park (the movie or the book) and don’t want to google, it might be worth adding that the word “raptors” refers to velociraptors, a carnivorous dinosaur species that is not as huge as the dreaded T-rex (in fact it’s merely bigger than a human), but is very smart, quick and dangerous.

To be fair though, velociraptors were only about the size of a turkey anyway. Jurassic Park’s raptors were closer to the size of a deinonychus, another dromeosaurid.
