Mike Jacobsen is a comics artist from Australia. You can find more of his work over at SeeMikeDraw.



'Return to Oz' is really fucked up. A kid who's been a boy for as long as he remembers finds out that he's actually a girl(an evil witch cast a spell on him to make him a boy). Then in 'Ozma of Oz' you've got the lady who collects and swaps heads on a daily basis who wants to keep Dorothy captive until Dorothy's old enough to have her head harvested.

Wizard of Oz doesn't need a gritty remake
read the original books, or the sequel "Return to Oz"
non-musical, and can seriously f**k with children's mind

Everyone knows you have to eat the heart to gain your opponents courage. Looks like Tinman and Lion are gonna brawl.

Ironically this comic is both heartless and brainless.

I have a version of this with no text on it whatsoever. I think the guy stole this, put his text on it, and submitted it.

That's TWO funny comics in a row! Good job Cracked, keep it up.

After all, they say that good things come in threes -- or was that bad things? Whatever, just get another good comic out there and I will be happy.

OMG apparently webohead didn't even read the dialog. either that or you're too stupid too get the joke.

Oh wow webohead (and your alter ego pizzabox), you are obviously such a moron that I feel compelled to point out that there is a joke in here, regardless of whether it's funny or not. They haven't just killed her randomly. Rather than take the long trek to see the wizard to obtain what each desires, they've just taken them from Dorothy. I can't believe I just had to explain that.

Holy s**t, did someone call the Tin Man awesome? Obscure as it is, there's no arguing it was a hilariously godawful failure at trying to make Oz ("the OH ZEE!") hip and gritty. The wicked witch being a cleavage bimbo who shoots flying monkeys from her breasts, the token black guy in the ridiculously demeaning role as a traitor Toto, and... a h**o.

Besides, Return to Oz wasn't a reboot or even trying to be gritty. It was a semi-sequel, and while the cast was shuffled around, all its material was from the original books.
