The life lessons imparted in these stories might appear abstract (and related to highly improbable situations) but I'm sure children with decent critical faculties could decode them. Balloon of Doom is probably about predatory paedophiles...or somethin'... By the way, I wouldn't class <em>Toy Story</em> (one of the greatest animated films ever made) in the same class as <em>Shrek</em> (a grossly overrated, lame-gag-heavy, formulaic buddy movie).

Nah - I reckon all demonic talking balls originate from the world of the Tall Man. Is there any more of that Balloon of Doom strip scanned in anywhere? Cause I have the feeling that it imparts useful life lessons about not trusting talking balloons or going to the Moon with strangers - important stuff that kids should know. That's exactly the kind of material I want my 2-yr-old goddaughter to grow up with - not all this Shrek and Toy Story mullarkey that she seems to think is so amazing - poor misguided tyke!
