No one can know about this (new PBF comic)

I laughed.

Also, I love how everyone in the museum audience seems to be interesting or distinguishable in some way. Nice attention to detail.
 
Uh, okay. I was hoping there was more to it than that.

When the character says "No one can know about this", he means "I don't want other dinosaurs finding out about this". It's a huge irony that not only did they fail to keep it private, but thousands of people see them millions of years later. It's also the law of unintended consequences; how could the dinosaurs possibly have foreseen this? There's also the element of how absurd it is that a museum would actually do an exhibit that consisted of dinosaurs humping. Like, you expect the museum to present sort of sterile, hands-off material in a serious kind of way, and here's the exhibit and it's, like, crazy popular and they just put it out there, no attempt to conceal it or clean it up. And look at the faces on everyone attending it, they're off the charts, this is a genuine phenomenon--like, even if this was just a regular dinosaur exhibit, that'd be one thing, but this is, based on the crowd in the third frame, something as popular as King Kong or something.

Also some of the crowd faces remind me of this terrible background art from Pinocchio:

You're kidding, right?

It isn't ironic because other dinosaurs didn't find out about it. Yes, people in a museum are having a laugh, and the museum setting exhibits just how public the dinosaur affair became, but in my mind, the fact that other dinosaurs didn't find out about their affair kind of makes the comic fall flat.
 
The hot dino lady has sex with the ugly dino dork - just as long as he keeps quiet about it.
Unfortunately for her, their shameful copulation is memorized throug the ages.
 
Clearly there is more thought put into most PBF strips than is on the surface. How are people surprised by that?
 
It would be funnier if other dinosaur skeletons were all positioned to look at them doing it.
 
Didn't even smirk.

I really can't imagine anyone finding this hilarious or being in actual tears from it, is NeoGAF doing one big meta-joke where people pretend to find new PBF strips funny?
 
What would be the hidden layer of humour in the one you posted? Why is it a better example of extra depth than mine?
The wife is bored of their relationship, screwed her husband over, but in the end, they're all still tools.

Not necessarily a hidden joke by any means, but the elements he used are well thought out and compliment the theme very tightly.
 
I thought the joke was that they were having gay sex, and therefore no-one could know.

Male/Female Parasaurolophus for reference:

I sort of smirked at this.

Is there a reason every PBF comic gets its own GAF thread? I'm gonna start posting every new xkcd comic as its own thread.
 
Pbf just isn't updated regularly enough for it to merit comedic genius. Sorry but that's just the way it is. Daily updates from stuff like amazingsuperheroes, xkcd and the like just provide better entertainment on a daily basis.
