Also, what do you mean you’ll never get to have your first kiss if you don’t grow up? Plenty of movies show prepubescent kids getting their first innocent smooch from their childhood crushes. Hell, the 2003 Peter Pan movie has Peter and Wendy share a kiss near the end.
Interesting fact: in the original Peter Pan novel, simply being in Neverland does NOT keep you young. Neither the Lost Boys nor the Darlings are eternally young. Only Peter himself is, and that’s because he simply refuses to grow up — an extreme case of “mind over matter”.
In fact, the novel specifically mentions that the Lost Boys only stay in Neverland until they show signs of growing up, at which point Peter “thins them out”. Ominous, isn’t it?
Random thought unrelated to this, but has anyone ever thought to keep track of how many days are highlighted with each year within this comic? (it’s not always “one strip = one day” after all) That’s something I like doing when watching TV season by season.
I know it’s probably not that important to think about, but fun to try & make sense of.
With Robin Williams vs Dustin Hoffman, you can’t go wrong. And amazingly compared to current-day blockbusters, they didn’t!
Jenny would be quite happy as some sort of savage. Eric would go along with it because somebody would have to keep saving Jenny.
Michelle, quit trying to dash the hopes and dreams of your little sister and her future boyfriend. You sound exactly like the type of people you (or your boyfriend at least) swore to rebel against.

“ Rufuo! Rufuo! Rufuo!”
And to think the guy that played him would play Zuko in the last air bender.
@TheJayster49: she’s just telling her the truth. she’s not being mean about it

Admittedly, I liked Hook despite its flaws. Robin Williams did a solid job as Peter Pan.
