Strip by: David Morgan-Mar, Andrew Coker, Tim Mason

T-Rex: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea...
T-Rex: does NOT refer to a depth!! WHOA!!
Around the World in 80 Days does not refer to the length of the journey! "80 Days" is the name of the ship.
Utahraptor: I'm reading The 39 Steps.
Utahraptor: It's a comprehensive alcohol rehabilitation program.
T-Rex: I'm currently reading The Two Towers.
T-Rex: It's about tugboats.

The author writes:

The ship 80 Days takes a short cruise encircling a set of artificial islands off the coast of Dubai.

(Also, two people present in the room while this comic was being written learnt for the first time that 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea really doesn't refer to a depth.)
