Quotable Saturday
“Well… I see we’re going to live a little while longer, and I’m glad of it, for it must be very uncomfortable not to be alive.”
-The Lion in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz adapted by Eric Shanower, illustrated by Skottie Young*
*Well, I read this line in this adaptation recently, but being the UBER NERD I am, I wondered if the line appeared the same way in the original text. So I used my MAD LIBRARIAN SKILLZ to do a search on Google Books and found that yes, indeed, that line is straight from Baum. Read it at the bottom of page 81. I don’t care what anyone says about Google Books. It’s darned useful for verifying quotes, and I like it.
