“Orion the hunter” “Orion the king”

Is this why the word "Orion" is having such a hay day right now? I can think of at least 6 high profile projects with codename Orion. It seems like it's a cosmic force causing it to take over in honor of its new Godzilla alignment.

Fuck, I've not seen that webcomic in years

Stargate address symbols will need changed.

Fun

The hunter got hunted.

Nah this is the future of orion

How far in the future though? 63 million years?

Do we have an approximate map of what the night sky would look like if light transmitted instantly? Like how would the night sky look if all the stars appeared where they would if we could see them in their current positions.

This is cute

So my favorite constellation becomes EVEN BETTER?! I’m so here for this.

Can't wait for a T-Rex constellation in the future

📌

Correct

And he shall be known as Kevin.

The other North star.

Cool! Orionaurus🤗

Sometime in that distant future, people watching the original Men in Black will be very confused by the whole "Orion's Belt" sub-plot

The story written in the stars…

How soon, hopefully next week

Hey, I understood that reference

Hasn't actually died yet from our POV but RIP Betelgeuse you were a good star and I'm so sorry that your name has such an unfortunate pronunciation

WOAH WHERE'D THAT-

I didn’t even know Betelgeuse was sick.

🤣🤣🤣

beetlejuice has been dead

Didn't know that you were on this, ty

Could it be Trogdor instead?

That's my favorite

Will all the constellations be renamed for dinosaurs? That could be fun and I'd bet the children would remember them better.

"They" feels kinda plural. There's "it" but that's objective. And we don't have a plural "you", which is one of the first things slang fixes: "youse guys", "y'all"

I swear to god, his run from 140 to 150 includes some all-time bangers. Delicious Cycle. The parodies. Carebearstare. Mispronouncing. (I still say Blag.) Sudo make me a sandwich. Grownups in the ball pit. I love all of xkcd, but that's peak xkcd.

Lorenz (the April Fools' CYOA-style XKCD comic) also prominently features this crossover.

You have another ankle.

Pray for Betelgeuse! 😂

I've got it over my heart 😭

Looks a little bit like Jeremy 😁

"artists" rendition

Oh i love this

Love it 😄

Nice thinking: Orion to Dinausaur

Reptar???

So from Orion to Barney?

Trogdor?

🐉

Oh man, my house is gonna be completely flattened isn't it?

I miss that guy.

!!!!!!!

Feels cyclical, somehow.

I. AM. REPTAR!!!

It's a funky dinosaur with three piss droplets 💦 cool

Would you suppose Orion is by himself up there?

Looks like a bunny with a T in front...

Yes, they move, but most move very slowly to our observation. The fastest stars are the ones that orbit the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy.

I like how they're still doing a little wee like before!

Yus!

so, the sword…

Bruh

This made me guffaw. 🤣

The Qwantzellation

The collab we've been waiting for! Xkcd & Dinosaur comics!!

So, Orion's Belt becomes Barney's Jock?

Quite the glow up!

Reptar

Raptors... raptors EVERYWHERE

🤣🤣🤣

It's Reptar!

this was like seeing an old friend

Orinosaur

Looks Like the Usual dem party scientists are at work making shit up again. www.nasa.gov/centers-and-...

T-rex is my new star sign.

Well...

Hey, isn’t that Everton’s goalkeeper?

And we will not only not go back but we will let freedom ring! LFG!

I don't see the difference. They both want to hunt

@spyguitar.net hey check this out

And now, every time I look at Orion's belt in the sky above Melbourne, Australia, I will see a dinosaur's crotch. 😆

Today I think is a good day for Astronomy!

I especially like how they made Rexie pidgeon toed. Thank you for that.

Barney!

Gonna have to update my tattoo

Rawr

Don’t tell Ken Ham.

At least his belt is still there! That's all I can ever see anyways

Betelgeuse Betelgeuse Betelgeuse

Someone should tell Tappy Toe Claws she will be a constellation

I see it! A T-Rex....named "Orion"! Someone call Steven Spielberg.

YES! Love dinosaur comics!

for real though

I approve.

But I don’t want to be a dinosaur

RIP bettlejuice

will they at least say what’s wrong with the heat shield?

I wish my zodiac was Plato the Publixasaurus...

😂😂😂😂😂 💙💙💙🌈🌈🌈💙💙💙

As a vegan, I'm curious if this is trying to say that the hunter is becoming extinct... 🫢 But as a humanist, say it ain't so! The hunter has a greater evolution (Either way I f*n love dinosaurs, so I approve)

In the future we should call it "Dinorion".

That T-rex looks awfully familiar. Haven't I seen him stomping a building somewhere?

Haha! Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow!

Betelgeuse... Betelgeuse... BETELGEUSE...!

This is the only way

I don't like change. I like a Orion the way it is now. However, I will be Stardust when it does change, so there's that 😬

This is why @qwantz.com will never die. It's ordained in the stars

lizzid peeple!!

🦖🦖 This is brilliant!

man I ain't waiting for stars to move I'm calling it T'Orion Rex from now on

ORIONSAURUS...

Is this where we'll find the Ryan North Star?

The Dinosaur still has a dong though? (And yes, I got the homage even without the mouseover text.)

Is that a Trex or a Rapthor?

This is the way.

I'M HERE FOR IT!!! I mean seriously, why did ancient people look at the sky and only imagine things like bears and hunters and scorpions and goddesses tied forever to chairs? I mean it's almost as if they weren't living along side scary dinosaurs day in and day out! 😮
