So, you all remember that story about Zoner in the future running around with that squad of intelligent raptors?
That's basically Chris Pratt and his team in Jurassic World. I kept thinking it while watching it. And oh, was the Dinosaur action portion of that movie fantastic.

Dude in the vest, be careful. You are playing with dynamite. Pabu and his bros are going to fuck you up if you keep frontin' on them like that.

He doesn't have a chance, it looks like they're just seconds away from launching a massed Look Cute attack that'll reduce him to a quivering heap of chibi-ness.

I can't now put my hands on a link to it (it wasn't a tweet, I saw it screencapped off I dunno Myface or Spacetube or something, whatever the kids are using these days, in a news article), but I've also seen a picture of someone doing that same meme with a trio of supremely uninterested tigers. Seriously, if you can find it, it's epic. The tigers clearly do not give one-tenth of one shit about whatever the hell modern interpretive dance move their keeper is doing. One of them's even looking at him like, "Dude, what is your problem?" :)

EDIT: Phil found it! Look at the tiger on the left. He is clearly not buying it. :)

Huh. It might just be me, but this seems like one of those "before" images, where the "after" requires a graphic content warning label.

I don't think there's a story that goes with it, it's just one KanColle fan artist's take on the "Chris Pratt tames velociraptors" meme. :)

Oh, don't bother. That was actually one of mine, it's G and the Stooges, and, well, the concept of the Stooges is the only good part and we just discussed it, so. :)

well that explains it, I was looking at the wrong lead. And just cause its not as good as your present stuff, doesn't necessarily make it THAT cringe worthy.

Give yourself some credit: it's not the worst clunker in the back catalog.

(I'm not gonna go reread it just now, but if memory serves, the only major problem with it is the premise: it's a sequel to a MegaZone-centric story, and it was never clear to me why Zoner didn't follow up on that one himself.)

I don't think we ever bothered explaining it, because that wasn't really the way we did things in those days, but basically it was just a matter of timing. He didn't get round to it fast enough.

I imagine the answer is the same, but for clarity's sake, I meant Zoner the character, not the author.

In the same vein, and because I apparently can't sleep:
I'm gonna go through this thing with commentary and stuff!

19: Man, 60 seconds too late for an Iron Maiden reference here.
70: Immortal watch for an Immortal man of action.
75: Okay, I know this predates him, but I'm picturing the Stooges now in my head as Dr Dino. Or at least with that crazy tongue and the eyes that don't face the same direction. And the weird backpack of stuff.
115: Dunno why, but the 'voice actor' in my head for Moe is Cat-Nall
116: If this were actually Nall talking, the next scene would have been him scraping goop outta his eyes.
140: I see these guys went to the Stormtrooper school of shooting.
171: I finally figured out why the metric bugs me: 'cause Gryph goes ON AND ON in Manhunt about being happy to get back to imperial units.
229: Yeah, Dr Dino is totally a V Sapiens
310: I don't get the Harland Valaquen reference? I mean, I get that it's Zoner, but...
412: I could SWEAR that something else took place on Jourgensen, but google tells me that I'm full of it
422: Nice word, 3 points.
438: Because adventures *always* search the desk...

All in all, not a horrible piece. Certainly there are worse (and worse in The Exile period at that.

I'd say,
"think about it"
"think about it"
"think about it"
except I'm not sure if that's the right reference.
