Oh, wow, never seen a blank explanation before! RadiantRainwing (talk) 02:48, 29 March 2025 (UTC)
Jill is a pretty rare character (only 59 appearances). Cool to see a rare character.
this seems to be a play on dinosaurs in media to look more accurate by having feathers, which some view as making them less scary. this comic is a reversal, where the bird is supposedly more accurate and scarier. 108.162.242.28 04:17, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

Considering there are childs show with Barney the purple dinosaur, and that's supposed to be tyrannosaurus-rex, apex predator, and is STILL not scary, making Big Bird scary is not related to what species it might be at all. -- Hkmaly (talk) 16:58, 29 March 2025 (UTC)
I suspect Randall just received the latest edition of Scientific American. It summarizes recent discovery of a thick keratin sheath over the already known bony weapons in some dino species, making the nasty parts even nastier: bigger, heavier, and more resistant to damage. 172.71.191.130 22:59, 29 March 2025 (UTC)
