Looks like this little pilgrim is making progress.

Author's Response:

But is he a Bun-young?

So much for wise decision-making.

Author's Response:

A word to the size: no moral here, just an update from the Tummy Zone, submitted for your approval.

Now, that's what I call "lip service!"

;-D

Author's Response:

And service with a smile of course.

Red Jean? Ah, yes! The alien-possessed giantess who feeds on the fear of the little boys she devours.*

*From the someday-to-be-posted STAR TREK/LOTG crossover, "In The Fold of the She-wolf's Belly" (rated PG-13).

Author's Response:

A gts channel exclusive movie, shown in WIDE JEAN.

Actually her name was a pun on the name of the Red Queen of Looking Glass Land.

I remember that photo, too! She almost had the same kind of hairstyle as Lois Lane did, in the 1966 Filmation SUPERMAN cartoons.

Author's Response:

What I couldn't remember was whether they gave her a name. So I veiled my ignorance in pun-like names for Joe and Bill (HB)

I "Tink" the Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up is going to need a lot of consoling.

;-)

Author's Response:

In the new chapters 28-49 just posted, you'll see how it PANs out.

24 hours after my last review? You can't get much nearer to the future than that! Speaking of which: that was a mighty close call, Jack had. Maybe he should stop "bean" a "stalker."

Author's Response:

if you're amazed by that, I just loaded chapters 28-49.

As for the last pun, bean there, done that.

Hmmmm! I'd say Jack's decison was 51% of the latter and 49% of the former.

Author's Response:

And he almost ended up on 100% of the platter

This cliff-hanger reminds me of one of my paternal grandfather's pieces of wisdom.

"Man, born of woman, has but a short time to live. His life filled with trials and tribulations. He springeth up, like a blade of grass. Then, gets cut down...like a horse's ass."

Author's Response:

I think he's paraphrasing the Bible book of Ecclesiastes (which some scholars think was written by Solomon himself under God's guidance), which tells of how short lived and meaningless life is, unless you're involved with God the creator. The book's comments on state of the dead bring me much comfort too. No eternal torment. Just sleeping in the ground until Jesus returns and raises the Christian dead to heaven and the non-Christian dead to annihilation. The false teaching of eternal torment is one of the strongest fuels for the atheist movement.

Of course, I prefer the positive alternative of starting an eternal relationship with Jesus in this life.

Still, having put my sermonette in the story notes, I didn't think I'd be lucky enough to be cued for another in a review. Hope Chapter 13-16 ends this part of the saga on (gts pun coming here) another HIGH note.

She's Hungry Lad? Sounds like a sex-changed member of the Legion of Super Heroes.

Author's Response:

I guess Super Heroes are the only ones who won't make it into this tale. However, you may be pleased to know (or already know), that in 1986, DC put out a 3 issue mini-series called "Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew in: The Oz - Wonderland War" which reunited Dorothy with many of L Frank Baum's Oz characters as well as teaming them with the Zoo Crew, Hoppy the Marvel Bunny and loads of Lewis Carroll's characters from the Alice books.

It was both funny and touching, with brilliant art work by Carol Lay.
