Makes me nostalgic that you used some of the old style dinosaurs along with the stegosauruses. Haven’t seen the blown up monitor lizards and horned reptiles in decades. Ah, the days of Ray Harryhausen…

Thanks RG,
They are a total tribute to the 1930’s Flash Gordon serials. I have said this before, but in the 1950’s, when I was about 8 or 9, I use to sit about 3 feet out in front of our B&W TV set and watch every episode, once a day in the afternoons. My dad went to a surplus yard and bought me an whole instrument panel from an old WWII fighter or bomber and I would flip the toggle switches and turn the knobs and pretend it was my rocket ship control panel while watching Flash and Zarkov fight air battles against the forces of Ming. And people wonder how old cartoonists developed their vivid imaginations 🙂 Of course now days, no one would give their kid something so possibly dangerous that came out of a junk yard.
