He wants to kiss you in your sleep, without consent. Better open your eyes than wait for him to get even worse ideas!
The original version of this fairy tale involved the worse ideas.

When those everyday situations meet superheroes, fairy-tale figures, or pop culture icons, the results are even funnier.
The artist doesn’t stick to one formula when coming up with ideas. “Sometimes I stare at a blank paper and try to think of something funny. That usually doesn’t work,” Doug admitted. Instead, he likes to start with a situation or phrase and let his mind wander—something that works perfectly when the subject is a familiar character we all recognize.
While Doug’s style is semi-realistic and simple, the focus is always on the joke. As he explained, “A great drawing will not sell a poor idea. The gag is the heart of the cartoon.” That’s why his takes on mythical creatures or famous cartoons feel so sharp—they’re built on a funny thought first, with the art bringing it to life.
Sure, censor d a m n, but show disembodied body parts. So hypocritical BP.
“The joy of creating a cartoon and seeing people smile because of it is what keeps me going,” Doug said. Whether he’s poking fun at a wizard, a superhero, or a beloved character from children’s stories, his work proves that good humor never gets old.
I still have some MAD pocketbooks. My kids also look in them even if they can only barely read yet and they don't understand the drawings. They love them anyways. Lol.

Don Martin was the first artist I copied when I was learning to draw cartoons as a wee kid.
It's better to have a lawyer with no heart than one with no brains or courage.

Why publish it if you're going to blank out the important part of the joke?
Of course not. Junior should have shared with mum and dad
Now that's an episode of 'Botched' I'd LOVE to see, lol.
Yes feces are harming the poor and fragile minds of the youngsters these days. /S

So glad you the word p**p was censored. I would have been damaged for life if I ever saw such profanity.

Somehow "becomes" got turned into "s**s" when I hit post. This is getting ridiculous
