A while back, the creators of the comic series shared with Bored Panda that they decided to use dinosaurs as their main characters simply because they find them fascinating and cool. Dinosaurs have a universal appeal—they’re ancient, mysterious, and just inherently fun—which provided a fresh and unique backdrop for their storytelling. The choice wasn’t just whimsical; it resonated strongly with their audience, and this distinct concept quickly gained traction on social media, capturing the attention of fans who appreciated its quirky and heartfelt approach.
If you delve into their comics, you’ll notice that the dinosaurs often seem to be grappling with mental health challenges. There’s an underlying theme of acknowledging struggles while trying to coexist with them, a concept that many readers find deeply relatable. James Stewart and K Roméy, the creative duo behind the series, have confirmed that this interpretation is partly intentional.
They explained that the journey of understanding mental health often begins with a period of confusion and struggle. Once someone identifies what’s wrong, they can start seeking the support they need, but the process doesn’t end there. Living with mental health challenges becomes a part of life, and finding ways to understand and make peace with them is an ongoing journey. This honest and empathetic perspective is a key element of their work.
