KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
Giant: "Huh!???"
Princess: "Huh!?"
Princess: "Marvin!!!! Is that you!!? I thought you had left town!"
Prince: "I did, my darling..."
Prince: "...but I couldn't bear being away from you!"
Prince: "I couldn't think without you! I couldn't sleep!"
Princess: "Marvin!!!! Is that you!!? I thought you had left town!"
Prince: "I did, my darling..."
Prince: "...but I couldn't bear being away from you!"
Prince: "I couldn't think without you! I couldn't sleep!"
Princess: I-I know how you felt, Darling! I couldn't sleep either! I couldn't even keep down a cheese sandwich!"
Marvin: "Oh, I can't tell you how it feels to hear you say that!"
Prince: "M-Maybe it's time we made this permanent!"
Princess: "It always was permanent, Darling, it always was! Let's find a grotto somewhere and hold hands."
Princess: "Giant, clean this place up while we're gone will you? It's a mess!"

Mr. Uncle Eddie:
What happened in part 1? I guesse I missed it!
Anyway, poor prince!
I had a lot of trouble with Blogger while I was doing this. It deleted pictures and even a whole post without me asking, and it even published my unedited pictures while I was working on them. Friday night and Sunday night are not good times to use this program.
I'd be mad, but Blogger's improved a lot in the last year, and it's still entirely free.
All this confirms something I have always believed: that Barbie is hot.
LOLLLLLLLL
i love that 3rd to last photo, with them getting back together and you looking at us like "Whaaat?!"
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome!
Have you seen the photo-comic of John Cleese falling in love with a Barbie, called "Christopher's Punctured Romance"? There are some eerie similarities here.
That was eerily compelling. You should start writing soap operas.
Barbara: Eerie similarities? Hardly eerie. Look at the comments page above this one where I credited Kurtzman for coming up with the Barbie lust idea.
The Kurtzman and the John Cleese photo funnies-Barbie-lust idea are one and the same thing! John Cleese was the guy who posed for it:
Help! story, and it was written by--Terry Gilliam! Before Monty Python days. Kurtzman ran "Help!" magazine but it was apparently Gilliam's idea, btw.
Anon: Holy Cow! That was a great link! Many, many thanks! It was like seeing an old friend again!
I did get the idea for a Barbie-letch story from that very article but I hadn't seen it since I bought the magazine new a kazillion years ago. I wonder what happened to it? Probably my parents thought it was salacious and "lost" it. It never occurred to me to look for it on the net.
Kurtzman was great! I've since seen some of his other photo essays, that's what made me think of doing that sort of thing, but none came even close to this "lost episode." It's by far his best.
Barbara: I just read the Kurtzman piece and I take back what I said about eerie similarities. You were right! Somebody in the Cleese story was named Marvin (I'd have to read it again) and that's the name I gave my Pinnochio puppet! I nearly dropped out of my seat when I read that.
Eddie
I really love post like this, but I can't help but worry... Blogger could easily purge a bunch of your post by accident, and then they would be lost forever!
Are you keeping back ups of everything? If not maybe you should start!
Better yet, start doing some Print on Demand books collected by year or theme! Collect some Photo Essays together, and thoughts on architecture and then philosophy!
I'm worried about your legacy damn it!
Don't give history the chance to loose out on all of these great post!!!!

Don't you worry none, Eddie - That Prince Marvin isn't half the man that you are. In fact, he's probably not more than about one eighth the man you are, strictly speaking...
I'm so torn now! I can't decide who did it better- you or Cleese, I like you both so much! Ok, ok, Eddie wins.
HAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHA!!!
Eddie, If I didn't know you any better, I'd would've said you needed to get laid badly! X-D
Just kiddin, wonderful performance, your most entertaining post in awhile! How's life lately buddy I haven't posted here in sooo long.
Eddie, this is amazing!! I laughed so hard! I love your photos stories!
Reading this stirred up a million weird and funny barbie memories from childhood...
Am I mistaken or did I see an alternate ending of this?
Anon: Yeah, there was an ending where the giant spoke but it seemed out of character so I dropped it.
OHJeepers: Thanks a million for the kind words! I'll think about it!
Katie, Kali,Pete, Sean, Nico,J.: Thanks!
