Tom & Jerry: Back to Oz Page #3

Why, of course. You're our national hero.

Oh, me?

There we were in the town square.

Citizens of Oz,

though our good friend,

Dorothy Gale has returned to Kansas,

we've built this statue in her honor.

And thanks to Glinda's magic potion,

we can bring the statue to life

for a whole day.

Oh, it will bejust like

the kid was here in person.

And remind us of all the

good things she brought to Oz.

Things like peace,

freedom, happiness and monkeys.

- Monkeys?

- Yeah, monkeys.

Monkeys!

Whoa!

Who's that? Who's that?

I don't understand,

with the Wicked Witch gone,

the monkeys have no reason to attack.

Tell them that.

Oh, dear! I hereby banish

you monkeys to the end of... Oh...

- Cut it out!

- Pick on someone your own size!

Put 'em up, put 'em up.

I'll ride you airsick banana addicts.

Who's first?

I'll take you all on. One at a time.

One at a time.

One at a time.

Come back and fight, you big cowards.

Hey! Let me out. This ain't over, see.

Whoa!

What's happening?

Oh, it's an earthquake!

Whoa!

And all this didn't compare

to what happened next.

Oh, what did happen next?

That is when I decided

to take the bull by the horns.

Ain't that right, Scarecrow?

I haven't any idea

what you're talking about.

Me neither.

Please, fellas, tell me what happened.

Well, out came a horrible bunch of nomes,

followed by the Nome King.

Tell me when it's over.

Ruggedo, you cannot do this.

Oh, give me back my wand.

If anyone's going to wave that wand,

Glinda dear, it's going to be me.

Oh. Oh, no. You can't do this.

Boys, I'd like to converse

with the Strawman.

What do you want, Ruggedo?

That's Mr. Ruggedo to you, brainiac.

And it's not about what I want,

it's about what I get.

See?

And there's only one more thing I want.

To destroy that upstart, Dorothy Gale.

Me? But why?

I've never even met any Nome King.

You've made quite a reputation

for yourself in Oz.

With the way you've been

bumpin' off wicked witches,

you're the one to beat.

After the Nome King threw us

in the dungeon,

Glinda used the last of her magic

to help us escape.

Ruggedo was using his powers

to make a tunnel to Kansas.

We followed his flying monkeys

to warn you.

But that still doesn't explain

why he would want to destroy me.

The ruby slippers?

Glinda did say their magic

is very powerful.

That figures.

The Nome King scouring Oz

for every magical doodad

he can lay his grubby hands on.

He's a most unpleasant character.

It seems only his great fear of the Wizard

kept him underground.

The Wizard.

He would know how to defeat the Nome King.

But the Wizard flew away

in his balloon.

He could be anywhere.

Or nowhere.

How could he be nowhere?
