...Paul and Ringo are approached by a troubled man in a canary-colored boat. His country, he announces, is in the hands of the Blue Meanies. The boys hop aboard and eventually arrive at Pepperland, where they conquer the villains-who look like angry Rorschach blots-with that worn weapon LOVE...
...points: the subtle coloring works consistently well, and most of the malevolents (Blue Meanies and denizens of the Sea of Monsters) are top-notch cartoon creations. An evil-grinning feline called a Butterfly Stomper provides a hysterical 30 seconds of irrelevant wickedness; a flying glove proves a wonderfully Kafkasque weapon, and an anteater-cum-dinosaur happily devours everything in sight (including the frame background) by drawing it into his vacuum-cleaner snout.

An air-to-air heat-seeking weapon used by American planes in Viet Nam, the Sidewinder is about 9½ ft. long and weighs 165 Ibs. Undaunted, the trio trundled the missile to their car in a wheelbarrow, broke the car's rear window to fit the rocket in, wrapped a rug around its protruding end, and drove more than 100 miles across West Germany to an undisclosed city...
