Still, DD looks quite naked without his smoking jacket.
What exactly is the function of Moon Boy?
Removing parasites and encouraging.
The filthy naked ape-dwarf’s function is to goad Devil Dinosaur into kicking other dinosaurs. Kind of like a prehistoric Bobby “the Brain” Heenan. What else is he there for?
Moon Boy is the Master of this Blaster.
He is the monkey.
He rides around on Devil’s back while he spreads his monkey joy.
I totally had a friend buy this for me as a wedding gift based on the pure awesome that you showed it to be on this site.
This truly is the perfect book, and there’s nothing I enjoy more than explaining who Kirby was, why he was king, how important he was and then using a giant red dinosaur kicking a robot god in the face as proof.
I always wondered when DD and Moon Boy would run into a monolith…thus, prompting DD to kick it over the horizon.
Maybe that’s in Kubrick’s super-secret Director’s Cut of “2001″
ok, so if moon boy is a pre-historic Bobby “the Brain” Heenan that would make Devil Dinosaur…
…Andre the Giant? King Kong Bundy? Hmmm…
Red as he is, it must be Nikolai Volkoff :P
Either way, I want to see him swing the chair with those stubby little T-Rex arms…
Oddly, indirectly, Devil Dinosaur was defeated by the monoliths!
Tis true, and five points to the first person with the correct explination.
Because they taught Moon Boy to speak English 100 million years before the language was invented?
