Strip by: David Morgan-Mar

T-Rex: Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids.
T-Rex: In fact it's cold as HELL!
T-Rex: Which implies Hell ranges from -150°C to 20°C.
Dromiceiomimus: The upper range is quite pleasant.
T-Rex: Yeah. Nice to kick back with a cool salad.
T-Rex: Tomato, feta, Spanish onion.
Utahraptor: Do you prefer baby spinach or arugula for your leafy greens?
T-Rex: I'm a rocket man.
Utahraptor: You're not the man I thought you were at home. Oh no no no...

The author writes:

There are in fact reasonably comfortable days on Mars. Besides the lack of oxygen, of course. And the atmospheric pressure being low enough to cause embolisms.
