2	->''"Penny Crayon! Can draw anything she likes,\
3	Like cats and dogs and crocodiles, And juggernauts and bikes,\
4	But Penny’s magic drawings are not like any other,\
5	They walk and talk, and come to life, creating lots of bother!"''

8	''Penny Crayon'' was a British cartoon that ran from 1989 to 1990, about the adventures of a schoolgirl (voiced by Creator/SuPollard) who has a set of magic crayons. Whatever she draws comes to life, in a manner similar to ''WesternAnimation/SimonInTheLandOfChalkDrawings''. Penny and her friend Dennis have adventures, get into scrapes, and use her powers to foil bullies and bank robbers alike.

10	!!''Penny Crayon'' provides examples of:
11	* AchillesHeel: Water washes out the objects Penny creates.
12	* ArtInitiatesLife: The show's premise.
13	* ArtsyBeret: Penny, whose magical art skills define her character, always wears a beret.
14	* AsYouKnow: The nasty twins talking to each other in "Treasure Hunt":
15	--> Twin 1: Waste of time that'll be, because they'll never find any treasure!
16	--> Twin 2: No they won't! We've set lots of rotten clues, all leading to nothing!
17	* BritishBrevity: It only lasted for 13 episodes.
18	* CatchPhrase: Dennis. "Owh, Penny, you are clever!"
19	* EverybodyLaughsEnding: Every episode ends with Penny and Dennis laughing, usually at a pun one of them made..
20	* MagicalGirl: Penny, in a fashion - the delivery is very different but she basically has the same power set as ''Anime/MagicalIdolPastelYumi''. Also this makes Tara a DarkMagicalGirl albeit a rather petty one.
21	* MeaningfulName: Penny's mean cousin Tara has a magic eraser. "Ta-ra" is another way of saying "bye."
22	* SmallNameBigEgo: Penny can be really full of herself at times.
