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. | In this comic, a man is riding a {{w|Brontosaurus}} (or what would [[:Category:Apatosaurus|later be referred to]] as an {{w|Apatosaurus}}).
