Dinosaurs—They’re Just Like Us!: Cartoons from the Land Before Ptime

From New Yorker cartoonist Will Kiley Santino comes a hilarious collection of comics about dinosaurs navigating the everyday struggles of modern life.

Turns out dinosaurs weren't so different from us after all. Sure, they had claws, horns, or very tiny arms—but they also dealt with awkward conversations, existential questions, social pressures, and the occasional need to lie down after holding up a very long neck all day.

In Dinosaurs—They’re Just Like Us!, comedian and cartoonist Will Kiley Santino imagines a prehistoric world filled with surprisingly relatable problems. These clever comics feature dinosaurs navigating friendships, technology, identity crises, personal growth, and all the little frustrations that make life funny—whether you’re a human today or a dinosaur millions of years ago.

Filled with witty one-panel comics and select multi-panel stories, this collection is a perfect gift for dinosaur lovers, cartoon fans, and anyone who knows that sometimes surviving the day is a pretty impressive evolutionary achievement.
