| − | This was the fourteenth comic originally posted to [[LiveJournal]]. The previous one was [[11: Barrel - Part 2]], and the next one was [[16: Monty Python -- Enough]]. It was the first comic posted to LiveJournal after the [[:Category:First day on LiveJournal|first thirteen xkcd comics]] were released. | + | This comic arguably introduces [[Megan]], riding an {{w|apatosaurus}}. |
| | | | |
| − | In this comic, a man is riding a {{w|Brontosaurus}} (or what would [[:Category:Apatosaurus|later be referred to]] as an {{w|Apatosaurus}}). The humor lies in the fact that the man feels the need to highlight their peculiarity, despite the obvious oddity of riding an extinct and dangerous creature. [[Megan]] would later ride an Apatosaurus in [[650: Nowhere]]. This dinosaur genus is also mentioned in [[460: Paleontology]] and [[636: Brontosaurus]]. This was the first comic with {{w|dinosaurs}}, but since then, there have been numerous [[:Category:Dinosaurs|comics about them]] on xkcd.

| − | | + | *[Original [[Randall]] quote]: "I bet she's cool. I mean, she has a dinosaur!" |
| − | The title text further emphasizes this, while the original caption signifies that [[Randall Munroe|Randall]] would start posting a new comic every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Ironically enough, this comic was posted on a Sunday, a few minutes before Monday: see the [[#Trivia|trivia section]]. From now, he also began putting the date into most, but not all, comic titles on LiveJournal until he started to use [https://xkcd.com xkcd.com] instead. | + | *This is the fourteenth comic posted to livejournal. The previous was [[11: Barrel - Part 2]]. The next was [[16: Monty Python -- Enough]]. |
