3 | Like cats and dogs and crocodiles, And juggernauts and bikes,\ |

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. |
