Clip art palaeontology: WHAT LIES WITHIN? (DC CLIPART UNEARTHED)

[Nimz]

I realize this thread is fairly ancient, but I don't have rights to create a new thread, so...

I stumbled across this the other day while looking at dinosaur pictures with my kids:

Looks a little familiar, no?

I, for one, don't mind you DIGGING UP an ANCIENT thread with PALAEONTOLOGY in the title. Especially to post a rad T-Rex picture.

On the topic of the CD with the DC clip art, I'm still curious about those dinosaur voices. It's been almost a year since the last update about them.

I thought this was a homestuck forum. Apparently I was wrong.

And here's the site (in Croatian):

Wish I knew where they got the original from.

Thankfully, reverse image search is a thing that exists. Let's do some more paleontology!

The varying brightness/contrast/saturation/whatever of the results makes me suspect that this image comes from a scanned-in physical source. There are two unique results that place this image in a greater context- both book covers. By far the more common is a Hungarian edition of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Lost World" dating to 2003- the very same year Dinosaur Comics began- but there's another Hungarian book called "Animals in Ancient Times" that used this image as far back as 1989. Daaaang. Since this software appears to be from 1995, I wonder if the familiar pose was somehow influenced by this book cover?

Many people make that mistake. This is actually the MULTIPLE SITE PAL ASSOCATION Forum.

This thread is wonderful.
I have located the disc on Amazon. I am going to do this, man.
I am going to attempt to install a CD that is about a year younger than I am onto my newish computer.

I see no way this could result in anything but satisfaction.

That TRex pose is probably the biggest mystery. That 1989 book might be a good guess, but I have a feeling that the pose may be even older.

Its a fun and action pack CD. I was quite amused meanwhile playing but got bored at end. But overall good to play.
