Meanasaurus REX !!

I finished a drawing today I thought I'd share.
Here's the story behind it:
I was talking on the phone with my friend and at one point I called myself a meanasaurus rex after being pointed out that I was saying something obnoxious about someone. (cant remember what I said or who it was about)
So it became a running theme.
Meanasaurus rex found its way into our regular dialog.
The other day I was sitting at work when I got the idea to draw my mascot character Kami and her love interest Spastic Elf (based on my friend) dressed as dinosaurs. More specifically, I wanted her to represent a Meansaurus rex.
So I started doodling and got a lovely result. I drew her in costume smooshing something with her foot. I thought long and hard about what it could be to show her as mean, but not sadistic.
The first thing that came to mind was a bunch of flowers.
Then I wanted to draw Spaz.
but should I draw him normal or keep the dino theme?
I went with the latter and sent a text message to my unsuspecting friend asking him to name his fave non t-rex dino.
He replied "Ankylosaurus"
and this was born:
