− | ==Explanation==
| + | [[File:Just_alerting_you.jpg|Just thought you should know]] |
− | 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.

− | 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.

| | | |
− | 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.
| + | == Description == |
| + | This comic shows [[Megan]] riding a dinosaur. It is arguably her first appearance in [[XKCD]]. |
| | | |
− | ==Transcript==
| + | Note: the date is just a guess. |
− | :[A man is standing on the back of a green dinosaur and holding reins to the dinosaur's head.] | |
− | :Man: Before you talk to me, I should warn you: I am kind of strange

− | ==Trivia==
| |
− | This was the first comic to be [[:Category:Sunday comics|released on a Sunday]]. It was released only 17 minutes before midnight at 11:43 PM.
