Clifford was pretty popular for a dog book.

But if all dogs are as big as dinosaurs, then Clifford is no longer special. He's no longer Clifford the Big Red Dog. He's then just Clifford the Normal Sized Red Dog. I just don't think he'd be as big of a deal in that universe.

I guess he's still got the red thing going for him?

But he's a dinosaur-sized dog that is arguably more popular than most non-dinosaur-sized dogs.
