The Lion King, the Untold Story

“So why am I not king yet? I’ve been alive three whole weeks and people are still calling meΒ the lion prince? Do you have any idea how lame that sounds? I should be king right now! I’m totally ready to do king stuff, like standing on rocks looking regal and the whole bit! Believe me, nobody knows more about kinging than I do!”

Shouldn’t you be expressing this in a snappy musical number, dear? (Martin Schutt/AP)

      Well, that puts a whole new spin on the story, doesn’t it?

      (Picturing Zazu as a dragon, now.)

    He’s working on his roar.

        Is he trying to roar or hack up a hairball??? 😁

            Could it be “Pasicke”?

    Talk about a ‘tude. And yeah, I’m with mom, where’s the backup elephants, giraffes, hippos, etc?? And of course Zazou should be around somewhere to give his opinion on all this.

    Hey Mike, did you check the TV schedule or is it just a coincidence that The Lion King is on ABC tonight?

    Um, I hate to be a wet blanket, but aren’t this guy and his mommy a little bit too SPOTTY for lions?

      Could be! The caption said “lion cub” so I ran with it, which only shows how suggestible I am.

            “Have you seen a doctor?”

            “No–just spots.”
