Yeah, I’ve had trouble understanding how you can take Oxygen (a gas) & combine it with Hydrogen (another gas) & get Water (liquid). Two gasses into a liquid?
MAGIC!
Explaining what a dinosaur is without using the word "dinosaur" requires some associative comparisons to similar creatures your audience of students might be familiar with.
…Also there’s only so much room in the panels for a leadup to the punchline.
This is a comic; it’s purpose is humor, not detailed education.
Hey! Even OUR world has magic.
Want an example?
three people see a rainbow…
One stands still,
The second moves toward the rainbow,
and the last moves away from the rainbow.
The rainbow stays the same distance from ALL THREE Viewers.
It does not matter if they moved or which direction they moved.
Science tells us it is an illusion based on perception.
Sounds like a good description of magic
Linguistically, Dragons are Dinosaurs, just in a different language.
Dinosaur = Latin
Dragon = Dracon(or is it Drakon?) = Germanic (I forget from which Germanic tongue).

Just like combining an explosive metal and a poisonous gas produces a vital component of our diet…
Sodium chloride… salt
Bigger molecules are heavier, I never understood why someone wouldn’t understand this.
Ok, explain why ozone (O3) is in the sky while normal oxygen (O2) stays close to the ground.
Water is only a liquid from 0 to 100 degrees. if it was 130 degrees you could combine hydrogen and oxygen (gasses) to get water (a gas).
When in doubt…
Dinosaurs… not reptiles… but I suppose they might not know that.

Nope, it isn't an illusion, the light is actually there. It's forced perspective at best.

I love it when we get weird references to the Dungeon Keeper arc, like the child Bile Demon in the class.
