It's okay, Babs, I think the flying monkeys are scary, too!

(Actually, the Wicked Witch always scared me the most because she wanted to hurt poor little Toto!)

And to tie in with the couple of neat Frankenstein posts from the last little while, Kate Beaton on the Shelleys:

Another Kate Beaton one:

Oh, Rex Murphy. XD

Those flying monkeys made me cry as a kid. True story. I don't blame Babs for being scared here! Although, looking closer at that scan, it actually looks like they took a picture of Dick and put Babs' head and boobs on it! You can see the collar and I think the weird way her butt sticks out is just his blacked-out tunic-tails. If that's true, that's hilarious. Dick really doe code female!

Also, now I really want to make a motivational poster with that picture that says: "SPAGHETTI: Ollie sucks at eating it."

	Those flying monkeys still terrify my mother like nothing else. The hilarious thing is that my mother was a drill sergeant in the Army for the greater part of my life; she's pretty hardcore. But those monkeys terrify her. This has always baffled me completely, as I always thought the flying monkeys were really cool instead of scary. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I'm glad SOMEONE else thinks that - I'm reading all these 'EEK! Flying monkeys!' posts, and I'm going 'what is WRONG with you people? They're the best PART!' I mean, granted, I'm going by the book version, not the movie's, but... I mean... they're MONKEYS! That FLY! How can any situation not be improved by the addition of flying monkeys? (Plus, if you go by the illustrations, they're green. GREEN flying monkeys! Oh, my cup done runneth over.)

	Of all the cool magical things Dorothy gets to play with in the Oz books, I've always wanted the hat that enables one to call the flying monkeys the most. Fuck those magic shoes. I'd rather stay in Oz anyway. But have an army of flying monkeys to command, if only temporarily? Hell yes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Personally, I was all about the Magic Belt. I mean, yes, it'd be incredibly awesome to have an army of flying monkeys at your command, but only three times? That'd be torture! You'd have to have iron self-control not to use them all up before the first week had gone by. 'Let's see, I've ordered the flying monkeys to carpet-bomb the houses of my enemies with rotten eggs... I've had them take me on a round trip to the capital cities of Ev, Kahani and Wonderland and back... Now I have just one more wish. What shall it be? It's got to be REALLY awesome... What shall it be?!' You'd wind up panicking and just blowing it on asking them to fetch you a carton of milk from down the road or something, because the pressure would be JUST TOO GREAT.
The Magic Belt, on the other hand, gives you, basically, what you want, when you want it. Now, if one were to put it on and say 'I wish for complete and indefinite control of the flying monkeys, without having to worry about the damn hat' - that'd be the best of both worlds, now wouldn't it?

	You have an excellent point, yes. :O I'd never thought of that before. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Few people have, it seems. (Of course, this is probably because most people have only seen the movie, in which the hat doesn't even exist.) (Reply to this) (Parent)
