Keywords
dinosaur; pterodactyl

Indexer Notes

The witch says that she was studying to become a TV quiz show contestant, but there are "no more big time TV quiz shows." This is a reference to the fact that most prime-time game shows had been canceled in the wake of the quiz-show scandals of the late '50s.
