Sue The Magic Manikin--yes, that is her name--yes, Peppo The Manikin Maker gave her a heart, so she can come to life
Where, was I? Oh, yeah, someone stole her "Sacony Separates" (a line of children's clothing that this free comic is pitching). So, in a plot not at all ripped off from The Wizard Of Oz movie, a wise owl accompanies Sue and a growing horde of companions to help them in their various quests.
The saddest creature they encounter?
Oh, boo freakin' hoo.
Of course, in a plot twist in no way borrowed from The Wizard Of Oz, the owl turns out to be the manipulate bastard behind everyone's trouble, and he just says a couple of words and waves his wings and
Oh, joy.
So now Sue can back to hawking clothing and
AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
From The Woodland Adventures Of Sue The Magic Manikin (1957). Yes, this actually exists.
That's one of the scariest things I've ever read.
