The main character is Kyra who, as the title indicates, is more than likely a dinosaur in modern times. She's highly energetic and intelligent, even understanding and speaking human languages. She is also some bizarre escaped lab experiment with an occasional genius for mechanics and killing and slashing things that pops up at rather unexpected times.

"I am a bundle of pure trouble!"
—Kyra, Uh-oh, it's a Dinosaur

Uh-oh, it's a Dinosaur (which began life titled Paul and Kyra) is a defunct Life Embellished Web Comic by Andrew Bilitz which updated three times a week until the middle of 2015, when it abruptly ceased.

The main character is Kyra who, as the title indicates, is more than likely a dinosaur in modern times. She's highly energetic and intelligent, even understanding and speaking human languages. She is also some bizarre escaped lab experiment with an occasional genius for mechanics and killing and slashing things that pops up at rather unexpected times.

Kyra lives with washed-up artist Paul, who works a thankless retail job, is rather timid, and is loath to venture beyond his apartment. While the comic takes place in what seems to be our regular world, every adventure they stumble upon ends up becoming over exaggerated and insane.

The tropes in PLAAAAAYYYYYY:
  • Absurdly Sharp Blade: Kyra can slice and dice small neighborhood animals with her claws in a manner reminiscent of this trope.
  • Animal Talk: Animals talk one way, humans speak English (so far), and Kyra bridges the gap with strange broken English. The occasional person who hears her talk can get completely weirded out by the experience.
  • Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: Invoked at least by page 332:

Jill: If she wants to come out of hiding she's going to be confronted with politics, religion, and favorite movies like the rest of us.

Paul: Ohhhh puppy!
