Once upon a time...

or maybe twice, there was an unearthly paradise called...

Pepperland.

80,000 leagues beneath the sea it lay,

or lie, I'm not too sure.

Pepperland is a tickle ofjoy on the blue belly of the universe.

It must be scratched.

Right, Max?

- Yes, Your Blueness. - What?!

We Meanies only take no for an answer.

Is that understood, Max?

No, Your Blueness.

That's better.

Are the troops in readiness?

No, your Blueness.

- The Bonkers? - No.

- Clowns? - No.

- Snapping Turks? - No.

- Anti-music missiles? - No.

- The dreadful Flying Glove? - No.
