Ahoy, Skull Island!


We feel a little bad that it's been awhile since we've taken up "The Dragon and the Princess". We got a dog, Uncle B started a new job... it's been a long couple of months. But finally, the story continues. As you may recall, we left the princess at the Grove of Giants where she encountered Marco, the giant blue bird. The trio (Princess, Marco, and Tofu) were off to Skull Island in their continued search for Henry the Dragon.

Uncle B took a clever close-up approach providing key fun details like the worm dangling from Marco's beak.

So naturally, he countered that with an epic landscape as the Princess, Tofu and Marco fly to the island. I don't know what I love more about this one...

all those blinking hungy eyes in the background, the Cannibal King's pot belly - or the sense of humor in the whole thing.

 As a somewhat responsible Aunt and Uncle, we'd been trying to keep the story light and the characters friendly. But, it would appear that Bella wanted the cannibals to attack!

We also enjoyed how she picked up Uncle B's close-up style and added one of her own.

To move the story along further, we decided to put Tofu and Marco in danger ... but note: the fire has NOT been lit under Tofu just yet.

But the cannibals sure look hungry. We can't wait to see what happens to Marco. Take it away Bella!
