This strip refers to ''{{w|Jurassic World}}'', the then new ''{{w|Jurassic Park}}'' movie, and the titular theme park. [[White Hat]] explains to [[Megan]] that, in their park, they have genetically engineered a better {{w|Tyrannosaurus}}. Megan doesn't feel that the historic Tyrannosaurus can be improved upon, but White Hat insists they've created an even more terrifying, smarter ''Tyrannosaurus'' for this new park.

White Hat refers to ''Tyrannosaurus'' as "two decades old", indicating that he has switched topics from the movie's plot line to the animation techniques that created the {{w|Jurassic Park (film)|Tyrannosaurus on-screen}} in 1993 versus today. Clearly, in the computer animation world, we should be able to create something more convincing with modern technology. Megan comments that she is fairly certain it is older than two decades, suggesting that she is referring to the actual Tyrannosaurus that lived millions of years ago.

In the final panel, White Hat introduces the "new" ''Tyrannosaurus'', who is immediately recognizable as the green ''Tyrannosaurus'' from {{w|Ryan North|Ryan North's}} ''{{w|Dinosaur Comics}}''; specifically, from the last panel of said webcomic - which in turn is from [http://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/interview-with-ryan-north-creator-of-dinosaur-comics-15523444/ clip art]. Anyone who has read so much as a handful of ''Dinosaur Comics'' will know that its ''Tyrannosaurus'' character "T-Rex" is about as far from smart and scary as it is possible for a ''Tyrannosaurus'' to be (see [http://www.qwantz.com/index.php?comic=2739 this example] from the day this comic was released).

The title text is an example of what T-Rex (the character) would say to a couple of humans, and it's a poor joke which would only be funny when it's a talking T-Rex saying it. Despite his goofy mannerisms, he is still a carnivore who attacks (or at least accidentally steps on) humans, as can be seen in panel 3 and 4 of the webcomic.
