Dinosaur Comics is a constrained webcomic by Canadian writer Ryan North.

"[7] Ryan North started Dinosaur Comics during his last year of his undergraduate degree.

At about the same time as he came up with the concept of a fixed-art comic, North received a school assignment to, as he described it, "do something interesting with the Internet."

The first Dinosaur Comics strip was posted on February 1, 2003 and was called "Today is a beautiful day.

"[8] All the comics are six-panel strips, using clip art that North found on a CD he had purchased.
