Strip by: manyhills

T. Rex: What's the deal with... half-timbered houses?
T. Rex: Why not just full-timber them?
Dromiceiomimus: And why is it called "half-and-half"? Why isn't it just "whole"?
T. Rex: This girl gets it!
Utahraptor: Yeah! And, um. Uh... what's with... h-half-measures?
Utahraptor: You know. Why not... why not, um, complete the, uh, measures.
Utahraptor: Yeah.
T. Rex: Wow, Utahraptor, that wasn't half bad.
Utahraptor: Aww, thanks!
Utahraptor: Oh wait, you mean it was f—
T. Rex: —fully bad, yeah

The author writes:

The deal with half-timbered houses is that they cost one wood, one clay, one reed and two stone, but they give you an extra point for each room in your stone house at the end of the game.

I decided to write a strip with a different dynamic to "T. Rex says something stupid and the other two tell him he's being stupid", so I went for "T. Rex says something stupid and the other two attempt to join in with varying levels of success".
