I feel bad for this Ahmed guy though he clearly wants to marry both these girls like I do.

I've been digging into the background for this show and discovered I was wrong to assume it had been created out of thin air in 2015. It turns out that Devil Dinosaur was introduced in a 1978 comic book where he had a sidekick ape-boy named "Moon Boy" who was Moon Girl's precursor:



here are the two white creators of the comic: Brandon Montclare and Amy Reeder:



I dunno about you guys but I'm mildly entertained. I feel like you couldn't have made this comic if it'd been just a couple years later during the racial politics the left pushed during Trump's term which has continued now.

2015 seemed just early enough that people gave it a chance and liked it and could look past a black girl replacing a fucking chimp and realize she was a cool character, so much so that it got a TV spinoff.

I just wish Runaways had gotten a cartoon adaptation. Gert (later Chase) and Old Lace did the whole "girl/genius with a pet dinosaur" thing eleven years prior in 2004.
