Explanation

This is a sarcastic comic poking fun at romanticism.

The phrase used by Cueball in the first panel hints at the romantic, suggesting that he is so happy to be with Megan that there is nowhere else that he would rather be right at this moment than here with her.

Megan wonders if this is her viewpoint, and imagines herself riding a dinosaur suggesting that she would rather be doing just that. This, and the title text are saying that the likelihood that out of all the possibilities in the universe, the chances that the one single place you would most want to be is just sitting with your significant other is fairly low.

The title text is Megan's comment to Cueball, where she asks him if he is serious, when there are like a thousand species of Dinosaurs he could be riding (or running from).

Megan previously rode an Apatosaurus in 15: Just Alerting You. Apatosaurus are also mentioned in 460: Paleontology and 636: Brontosaurus.
