In the 1942 Superman cartoncartoon The Arctic Giant there is a monster which picture I am including in this question. In the cartoon, it is described as a tyrannosaurus. Where does the design of this monster come from? I initially thought it could be a Godzilla ripoff, however, Godzilla premiered 12 years later. So is this how people believed dinosaurs looked like in 1942 or is this design based on something else - like only the artistic vision of the artists?
