Can you imagine what 100 million years represent? The boy couldn't.
When I thought about a museum scene, only a funny story popped up in my mind. Of course, the picture doesn't look funny at all. And that is why I don't want to put emphasis on this specific story.
What I imagined is the story of a boy visiting a museum for the first time and asking his mother: "What are these animals?" She answered: "These are dinosaurs!", but the naive boy didn't get it properly, and thought dinosaurs actually looked like skeletons. He imagined a fight between two such skeletons in their natural environment.
Many years later, when he was browsing through an encyclopedia, he came across pictures of dinosaurs. He asked his mom the same question, "What are these animals?", she said: "These are dinosaurs!". The son: "What? dinosaurs don't like that at all, I've already seen real ones, and they were way more skeletal than that!"...
Then of course, we can imagine how loud the mother laughed...
I knew it was not really possible to make such a story readable, but I decided to do the picture anyway, just to see what it would look like to blend two eras 100 million years apart.
