Exert of a webcomic page Kyra the dinosaur (green/pink feathers with a yellow camp shirt on) is hanging out at a campfire with the other girls. She is talking about how she would love to be on a stage with people watching (aww!) instead of people watching her locked up in a zoo (aww) The girls ask if Kyra can sing, dance, or play a musical instrument. Kyra says yes, ALL of them! The camp counselor asks if Kyra practices and plays them WELL. Kyra responds with no, she does not. Kyracomic

Exert of a webcomic page Three girl scout camping girls call out to Kyra the dinosaur, whom is up in a tree. They ask her come come down and join them at the bonfire. The three of them start to wonder if Kyra is AFRAID of fire, like the movies. One makes a reference to The Jungle Book. Kyra then starts to get excited over fire and it's power to destroy all it touches. The girls wish Kyra was MORE scared of fire instead. Kyracomic

She tosses it into the air and catches it with her foot, tosses it again to catch with her other hand, then gives it a good throw. Three of the camp scouts watch. One asks if all they're going to be doing is watching the dinosaur. Second one answers "yes." Third says she needs to see what dinos can do. Kyracomic

Kyra the dinosaur enjoys water in this week's update. Meanwhile I enjoyed so many panels I couldn't decide on one for a preview. So here's all of them.

#webcomic | #kyracomic | #dinosaur
Official website - itsadinosaur.com/comic/dino_1...
Kyra the dinosaur in a yellow t-shirt is swimming under the water when she notices two boats. She pops up to say hello, startling them as she often does. They talk about boating and swimming and peaceful waters. But one of the girl wants some excitement, and instructs Kyra to push the boat through the water. It does not work. Kyracomic Kyra the dinosaur is dragging her hand through the water while singing a random song. When asked about it she confirms that yes, it is random. While one girl comments on violent river movies (Deliverance), the other brings up poetry about rivers instead. Kyra seems unimpressed, so she instead brings up a bunch of songs about rivers. Kyra continues to be unimpressed, commenting that it's a lot of words to say "water is wet" which disappoints the girl who was hoping for some dinosaur poetry. Kyracomic

Despite some terrible and unexpected emergencies over the week I was able to get complete a comic page; which is also about a minor unexpected emergency. And here it is.

Kyra the dinosaur is excited because Joy apparently caught a fish. The human girl Isabelle with her says that IS exciting, despite not showing any emotion. Joy is trying to real in the fish for a few panels until the fish escapes, sending the hook flying dangerously towards Isabelle. Luckily Kyra is able to catch the hook. Isabelle is saved and thankful, even if it doesn't show. Luckily Kyra is perfectly okay. Her scales are tough and able to handle a simple fish hook no problem. Isabelle points out Kyra could make some punk piercings with that, maybe even a knife to the head to make her look like a unicorn. Kyra agrees, as her scales are tough and flexible, and have to be just to survive her own strength. She displays this by scratching hard on her arm scales with her hand claws making a loud sound. The two human girls are amused but jittery at this sound (even if, again, Isabelle doesn't show it) kyracomic

Exert of a webcomic page A human girl and a dinosaur girl are sitting on a dock in the middle of the lake. They are discussing that, since Kyra is so good at swimming, if she is an aquatic dinosaur. Kyra says she enjoys water things, but the scientists say she's not excusive to it. It's just another amazing things about her, like the things her feathers do. The girl grab's Kyra's face and starts rubbing it like you would a dog, saying the feathers make her fluffy at cute. Kyra disagrees, saying they make her rugged and tough. She proceeds to shake herself dry like a dog. The girl thinks Kyra looks even cuter, now that her feathers are extra fluffy from the shaking. Kyracomic

She does some fancy steps, does a cool backflip, then some sort of break dancing spin move in the dirt. But what's this? Some sort of mysterious figures seem to be watching in a small 3rd panel on the side! Kyracomic

One of the girls comments that they can sleep when they get home, or just stay forever as suggested by Kyra. All of them go into their bunk beds in the dark. Kyra fumbles and tussles with the covers until she is in a comfortable position. She thinks about the situation for a moment then gets a surprisingly gigantic smile upon her face. Kyracomic

Nevertheless, she tells them to stay away form her friends and for THEIR friends to leave them alone. They respond that her brain should fall out. Rude! Kyracomic
