How we cite our quotes: (Line)
Quote #1
Marvin K. Mooney, / will you / please go now! (13-15)
The Narrator is being very polite here. Anybody want to bet if that'll change?
Quote #2
If you like / you can go / in an old blue shoe. (31-33)
The drawing connected with these lines has Marvin K. Mooney smiling as he boots his way to… wherever it is he's going. It's a drastic change from the frown he wears in pictures with the Narrator's pointy finger.
Quote #3
Don't you know / the time has come / to go, Go, GO! (52-54)
The change in the Narrator's attitude is perfectly scaled with the way the go changes in intensity. Good and fun writing.
Quote #4
OR / You can go / by camel / in a / bureau drawer. (62-66)
The Narrator seems to be changing tactics toward desperate here. Who would actually choose to travel like that when you can go by Bumble-Boat?
Quote #5
The time had come. / SO… / Marvin WENT. (87-89)
As we mention in our "What's Up with the Ending Section?", the change in Marvin's attitude is signified by the change in verb tense (the present has to the past had). We can also see the change in the way Marvin is drawn. Now he's smiling like he was in all the traveling pictures. But what method of going did he choose? We have to know.
