I Refuse to Make a "Not in Kansas Anymore" Remark
Instead, I would like to say that the guy behind Spawn is probably nuts. What's your favorite book from your childhood? Charlotte's Web? Cool. Now picture Wilbur as a bloated boar with blood-stained tusks and a tattoo on his warty, scarred rump. Charlotte is now six feet wide and has some sinister collection of eight D-cup spider knockers. And they have sex. Great! Hello, I'm weird. May I have my check, please?
This isn't a new thing. In fact, Penny Arcade made this joke with the character of Strawberry Shortcake and were immediately requested by American Greetings to remove the comic.
Why do I mention any of this? Because it looks to me like Todd McFarlane's fucked-up adaptation of Dorothy is really hot.
Granted, I don't particularly go for the raging stripper who shops at Hot Topic type, and the Munchkins are a total boner killer for sure. Primarily I think it's the leather boob strap that takes this from "completely messed up" to "completely messed up, but erotic".
If McFarlane ever gives his unique, yet highly derivative, treatment to a title like Jacob Have I Loved or Bridge to Terabithia, I might just lose it.
