Today’s Dinosaur Comics speaks to one of the long-debated paradoxes of classical scholarship:

for those of who you don't remember america's funniest home videos, it's basically youtube, but with none of the brutally dumb comments and with way more bob saget. you know, in retrospect, we had it pretty good

I’m not sure I agree with T. Rex, however—and I’m not sure the classics world would either. As the chorus say in Sophocles’ Oedipus at Colonus 1225, μὴ φῦναι τὸν ἅπαντα νικᾷ λόγον, ‘By all reckoning, it is best not to be born.’ Utahraptor would have something to say to that, I’m sure.
