Welp, the Nome King is back....that's something...
Spoilers beyond this point 👉
Was it really necessary to defeat him with the exact same method again? I wish I didn't feel so fed up by the end of these...
More than anything I was just glad to see Bungle, the glass cat restored to her glorious self rather than remain altered by the Wizard.
Quotable Quotations 🗣 📢
"There's lots o' things folks don't 'preciate," replied the sailor-man. "If somethin' would 'most stop your breath, you'd think breathin' easy was the finest thing in life."
"Why, I'm not afraid to go anywhere, if the Cowardly Lion is with me," she said. "I know him pretty well, and so I can trust him. He's always afraid, when we get into trouble, and that's why he's cowardly; but he's a terrible fighter, and that's why he isn't a coward. He doesn't like to fight, you know, but when he HAS to, there isn't any beast living that can conquer him."
"I've never been 'specially proud of myself, but I'd rather be the way I was born than anything else in the whole world."
"Aren't you good for ANYthing?" asked Trot. "Yes, I'm pretty to look at, and that's more than can be said of you," retorted the creature.
