| Xenozoic Tales (Comic Book) | comment |
In 2020, the Earth is shaken by upheavals and disaster. Mankind retreats underground, hiding in shelters, waiting for the end, kept alive by the mechanics working on the machines. So dependent are the survivors on the mechanics that they become a cult, a religion.450 years later, mankind emerges to find a world that should not exist, filled with animals and plants from all ages of Earth's history. A world where dinosaurs hunt sabertooth cats and pterosaurs wheel above oceans filled with trilobites. Welcome to the Xenozoic age.The world first appeared in Death Rattle #8 in a short story called Xenozoic! which introduced the characters and concepts. This was rapidly spun off into its own series under the name Xenozoic Tales, which premiered in February, 1987 and ran through issue 14, published in October 1996. Never officially canceled, creator Mark Schultz (not the Christian singer or the wrestler) still insists he'll be getting issue 15 out at some point. Don't hold your breath. Issue 14 didn't show up until two years after issue 13, largely due to the lushly detailed artwork Schultz drew. It's somewhat better known under the label "Cadillacs and Dinosaurs", which was the title of the first trade and rapidly supplanted the actual title in the minds of many fans.The series focused on Old Blood Mechanic Jack Tenrec, who seeks to protect mankind against another catastrophe by working with the environment instead of against it. He also enjoyed working on classic cars, buried in the underground chambers with humanity during the long retreat from the surface. He lives in the City In the Sea (the remains of New York, now mostly submerged), protecting people from dinosaurs and dinosaurs from people and driving his precious ancient cars (modified to run on dinosaur guano) around the nearby deserts.Alternately working with and against Jack is Hannah Dundee, ambassador from the city of Wassoon (Washington, D.C.), who has come to the City In The Sea for hidden reasons. While Jack is the Nature Hero, Hannah is the pragmatic type, believing in scientific explanations. Together, they struggle against poachers, corrupt politicians, and the wilderness while coming ever closer to understanding the mysteries of their world, including the sentient, reptilian Grith, who apparently knew far more than they ever let on.The series was popular enough to have several spin-offs, usually under the Cadillacs and Dinosaurs label, including a Saturday morning cartoon by Nelvananote and animated by APPP (now available on Youtube in its entirety), an RPG setting, two video games (an arcade beat 'em up Cadillacs and Dinosaurs by Capcom and a visual novel The Second Cataclysm for the Sega CD), and even comics published by other companies during the lengthy gaps between issues of the main title.In 2015, Mark Schultz released Storms At Sea, an illustrated novella which is not directly connected with Xenozoic Tales and is set in what appears to be an alternative twentieth century. But in a trope of Recursive Canon, the characters in Storms find a prediction warning of the world becoming exactly as shown in Xenozoic, including the causes of this dire future to come. | |

Good Guns, Bad Guns | |
| Xenozoic Tales (Comic Book) / int_25afd4a3 | comment |
Good Guns, Bad Guns: As described below, nearly everyone are wearing revolvers throughout. The total number of times that semiautomatic pistols appear in the entire series can be counted on one hand, and were only used by the nastiest of bad guys. Also, all the rifles are strictly bolt-action models, and absolutely no automatic weapons (assault rifles, machine guns, etc.) appear anywhere, with the closest thing being a prosthetic arm attachment wielded by a big game hunter with a score to settle against Jack in Maneater. | |

Dumb Dinos: Hermes is frequently a victim of this, being either nearly untameable except for Jack(sometimes) in the comic or simply behaving like a giant, dim-witted pet iguana until the situation requires otherwise in the cartoon. Wild dinosaurs don't fare much better, particularly the large herbivores which makes them easy victims for poachers. | |

It Works Better with Bullets: On one of Jack's trips into the wasteland, one of his passengers turns out to be a poacher who came along to try and bag some game. After repeated warnings to stop are ignored, Jack resorts to sneakily switching the bullets from the poacher's gun with blanks. The poacher tries to go hunting again without realizing… and is promptly mauled to death by a pissed off cave bear after he gives away his position by trying to shoot it with his blank-loaded gun. | |

A Tragedy of Impulsiveness: Jack ends up destroying his own argument, turning the City against the Old Bloods, and handing Scharnhorst her victory in the election on a plate when he ends up going on an impulsive rant about how nobody in the City except him is following the Balance.

Corrupt Politician | |
| Xenozoic Tales (Comic Book) / int_45cd286c | comment |
Corrupt Politician: Gorgostamos and Scharnhorst. Nock, already questionable, becomes more of one after Scharnorst is elected. Hannah forewarns Jack when he seeks Wassoon asylum that her own leaders are constantly power-playing against each other and shouldn't be trusted. Sure enough, they're shown to be not much better than Jack's own rulers. Averted with Dahlgren, who sympathizes with the Old Bloods, and Toulouse, who simply wants what's best for the City and its people but is easily manipulated because of this. | |

Call a Rabbit a "Smeerp" | |
| Xenozoic Tales (Comic Book) / int_5ac34441 | comment |
Call a Rabbit a "Smeerp": Different names have developed for the dinosaurs (slithers), which makes sense if you assume that dinosaur books weren't a priority inclusion in the underground shelters. Examples include Tyrannosaurus (shivats), Allosaurus/Deinonychus (cutters), Triceratops (macks), and pterosaurs (zekes). Inexplicably, every isolated city seems to have independently used the same names. Averted in the case of mammoths and sharks, which are called, respectively, mammoths and sharks. Hermes, Jack's pet "cutter". In the comics and the cartoon, he's portrayed as an adolescent Allosaurus; in the toy line and the video game he's a Deinonychus, probably to cash in on the Jurassic Park raptor's popularity. | |

I Take Offense to That Last One: Hannah is particular about how she is insulted. Not that reminding her about the rest of the insult is a good idea. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero! | |
| Xenozoic Tales (Comic Book) / int_7fbb2a3 | comment |
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: When attempting to speak on Mustapha's behalf during the gubernatorial election, Jack lets his temper get the better of him and launches into an angry tirade against Mustapha's less than scrupulous competitor, Scharnhorst and how the city is bringing their problems on themselves by not respecting the Balance… right after a tropical storm has torn through the City and killed a number of people. Unsurprisingly, this ends up swaying the other three governors and the city's populace to elect Scharnhorst, which in turn leads to Jack being incarcerated (and forced to seek asylum in Wassoon after he's sprung) and Scharnhorst calling open season on the City's Old Blood population. | |

Laser-Guided Karma: Jack figures out that a T-Rex has been attacking a mining town because one of the miners shot it in the eye attempting to poach it for some extra cash, only for the Rex to survive and began attacking people in a feral rage. After putting it down, Jack tells the miner in question where it's corpse is… knowing he'll most likely be attacked while harvesting the body by the Rex's mate when it inevitably finds the body. That's exactly what happens. | |

Betty and Veronica | |
| Xenozoic Tales (Comic Book) / int_94e4c8ab | comment |
Betty and Veronica: Very thinly implied with Jack as the Archie caught between Hannah and Gov. Dahlgren. Who is the Betty and who is the Veronica depends on which woman's point of view you take. There's also the briefly explored but much clearer love triangle between Hannah (Archie), current partner Jack (Betty) and ex-lover Lord Baclutha (Veronica). The Topps Comics storyline entitled "The Wild Ones" toys with this between Jack (Archie), Hannah (Betty), and Big Red (Veronica). | |

Wanting Is Better Than Having: Once Scharnhorst seizes power, the Terhunes are initially overjoyed to have Jack out of their hair and be able to poach freely as they always wanted… until they realize that poaching being legal under Scharnhorst means their profession is being bureaucratized; they not only need to be licensed to do it but they no longer have a stranglehold on the market and are being outcompeted into financial ruin. Soon enough, they're helping the resistance fight her out of sheer spite. | |

Both Sides Have a Point: While Jack is correct in that over reliance on industry and technology will simply repeat the errors made that caused the Cataclysm in the first place and that generally make the Earth a toxic place to live in any case if allowed to progress unchecked, his over reliance on nature to the point of fanaticism and completely shunning technology designed to make human survival easier is called out as having the potential to be just as bad in the opposite direction. | |

Hypocrite: Jack openly opposes nearly all technology, seeing it as an evil that endangers the natural balance. However, he has no problem resurrecting mid-20th century gas guzzling cars that certainly contributed to pre-Cataclysmic Earth's pollution for his own enjoyment. To be fair, he's refurbished them to run on "slither guano", as in dinosaur excrement, of all things. Hannah even points it out to him, though Jack is aware of his hypocrisy. | |

Amazon Brigade: Big Red and her all-female biker crew in "The Wild Ones". Subverted in that the reason it's all-female is because a mystery Deadly Gas wiped out the men in their population when they were still underground as opposed to them actively shunning men. Not that this keeps Big Red and her crew seeing the men they do encounter (i.e. Jack and co.) as the weaker gender and expendable breeding stock. | |
