Is "we're safe now" a safe thing to say after all of this still happened soon after saying "the worst part's over"? Well, sometimes you have to say what's comforting to hear and hope saying it makes it true.

These characters are very dear to my heart, and for what I've put them through the least they deserve is hugs and handholdings. Maybe I'll draw something happy about (this AU's version of) them sometime later after I eventually finish this comic, to make up for it.

(Warning for still a bit of blood on this page.)

I did indeed write the dinosaur screams and the human screams using exactly the same kind of letters for both on purpose. Obviously they don't both sound the same, but they can kind of sound like they would have the same translation if you're only fluent in one of the languages. And, I suppose to some extent they do.

I think the JP/W raptors' sounds hold up pretty well, especially with the added recognizably birdy chirps and quacks from JP3, which I wish JW had kept more of. Rexes may not have roared, especially just for the sake of a trailer shot, but a social species of raptor using various screams, clicks, trills, and hisses to communicate and not being very noisy otherwise is pretty believable, and birds do make all kinds of weird sounds one might not at first hearing associate with birds at all (albatrosses and barn owls for example have been pretty surprising to me while watching them on nest cams - the sound the former greet each other with kind of sounds like a series of oinks followed by a strangely mechanical-sounding version of blowing a raspberry and finished with a cross between a moo and a meow, and of the sound the latter make when alarmed, the most accurate description I've run into would have to be "possessed chalkboard noises").

Well, we're back... in the car again.

Also suddenly a very colourful panel painted strangely. I hope the image style is recognizable for what it is. Literally seeing like that is probably not quite how that would actually work, but this should get the idea across. I tried just having the red to go with the rest of the comic's spot colour choice (though Indo's eyes already have a bit of yellow on the page where we see him), but it didn't look right.

No blood on this page for a change.

Raptor obedience thoughts

(Spoilers for Jurassic World and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom)

Eli Mills about the Indoraptor: And thanks to Owen Grady's research, it follows human command.

That's obviously very false advertizing if he's talking about the prototype, but it's pretty baseless of an assumption even if he means the Indoraptor project in general, and the future versions they haven't created yet. Because drawing the conclusion that raptors can be made to obey humans from the raising and training of Blue and her sisters is just incorrect. They never followed human command, either.

That's what I recently claimed in one of my update commentaries for Collision, at least, so elaborating a bit on that topic.
