Added DiffLines:

* GentleGiantSauropod: Double subverted in "Blast From the Past". Harold goes to search for a giant sauropod to ride on, but when he finally encounters one, a ''Titanosaurus'', he seemingly menaces Harold, his ''Pteranodon'' friend, and a herd of other dinosaurs. But after Harold saves him from a tarpit, the ''Titanosaurus'' turns out be a GentleGiant and was only aggressive because the other dinosaurs ate his supply of pinecones that he had been saving for winter. Once Harold draws him giant pinecones to feed him, the sauropod returns the favor by giving him the ride that he wanted.


Added DiffLines:

* TerrifyingTyrannosaur: Surprisingly subverted. While ''Tyrannosaurus'' does appear in "Blast From the Past", it is mainly in cameos and non-threatening. (It's ''[[TemperCeratops Triceratops]]'' that plays the role of the "antagonistic" dinosaur.)

Harold is colored in with a blue jumpsuit and Caucasian skin on the book's cover, and in black-and-white in the story itself. Everything else in the story is purple, since it was [[ArtInitiatesLife drawn with the crayon]]; this lets the reader see that Harold is somehow more real than everything else.
