From a recent story comic commentary:

"Unless... yes. There is still one option available to me. The story must shift focus to velociraptor-riding honey badger cowboys. It is the only way."

I'm aware that the honey badger's smoking habit isn't a good one and is in fact extremely unhealthy and deadly and whatnot, but it's worth noting that it is authentic to the era in which cowboys rode on dinosaurs. It's also worth noting that this is a honey badger, and he doesn't care what you think.

I'm ALSO well aware that many of you are currently saying "THAT'S not a velociraptor!" While I admit that there's probably several mistakes that a professional snooty dinosaur dude could point out, it's still closer to being accurate than the velociraptors in Jurassic Park.

Ultimately, however, I did not choose the "correct" velociraptor to be a snooty dinosaur dude. I wasn't sure which variation to go with, the popularized "JP" version or the more historically accurate version. After conversing with people on twitter about it, the ultimate deciding factor was that realistic velociraptors are cuter.
