What if the cowardly lion had been a zombie cowardly lion, and he had to eat the brains and hearts of men to survive? A brave lion would simply rip the hearts and brains right out of men: the munchkins, the hunters and lumberjacks of Oz. The Lollipop Guild would have been devoured before the beginning notes of their second chorus. But a cowardly lion, he'd have to do things a little differently. He wouldn't have the fortitude to take the life of men. He'd be forced to forage for alternatives, to seek out the next best thing - the local mutants. Not quite men, certainly, and not yet falling into any other category either. The Lion would binge on bits and pieces of these mutant-men, leaving their remaining organs left behind in the carcass.
Perhaps, namely, the heart of one and the brain of another?
