Tomboy is a graphic novel about refusing gender boundaries, yet unwittingly embracing gender stereotypes at the same time, and realizing later in life that you can be just as much of a girl in jeans and a T-shirt as you can in a pink tutu. Liz was somewhere in the middle, and Tomboy is the story of her struggle to find the place where she belonged. But she wasn't exactly one of the guys either, as she quickly learned when her Little League baseball coach exiled her to the outfield instead of letting her take the pitcher's mound. Growing up, Liz Prince wasn't a girly girl, dressing in pink tutus or playing Pretty Pretty princess like the other girls in her neighborhood. ![]()

After all, had dinosaur diversity not been rapidly winnowed down by extinction, mammals might have never gotten a shot to achieve ecological dominance. The speculative creatures within its pages-given whimsical names such as "Lank," "Zwim," "Lumber," and "Tubb"-were imaginative adaptations of Cretaceous life-forms modified to survive in a modern-world devoid of humans. Thoughts of modern-day dinosaurs are the stuff of science fiction novels and B-movies-of unexplored islands and jungle plateaus teeming with vestiges of prehistoric life-but the Scottish geologist Dougal Dixon presented his own remarkably prescient and colorful answers to these questions in The New Dinosaurs: An Alternative Evolution. But what if, by some fluke of evolutionary history, this catastrophe never happened and the global summer of the dinosaurs was allowed to continue? What might life on the planet look like today? ![]() In a geologic instant, the K-T extinction event about 65 million years ago left Earth's skies empty of pterosaurs, extirpated the mosasaurs and their ammonite prey from the seas, and, of course, denuded the land of non-avian dinosaurs. ![]() |
