An Intimidating Sort

You know isn't it funny the way we view things?  We look at The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and see Dorothy's gang.  Don't they just look so sweet?  No, not in a literal sense they don't.  I mean lets think logically: an iron lumber jack carrying around his axe, a lion, and a scarecrow that really shouldn't be moving much less speaking.  It can really give you creeps.  But instead they're nice and help Dorothy.  o_O
Then we have Alice in Wonderland.  My brother talked about it scaring him when he was young.  Really?  A smiley cat and children get nightmares?  Isn't our view of things just odd?

Now lets talk about those flying monkeys :).  Yes they are pretty scary looking, but if L. Frank Baum really wanted to scare the little children and grown-ups, he would have put wings on spiders!  Yes, the total nightmarish fear would appear in our minds horrifically. 

Here is a sketch of Dorothy and his gang with Alice, because I thought it would be fun (that's were I thought up all this stuff up above).
