this reminds me of an old comic book based on that Disney Robin Hood cartoon:

Friar Tuck wanted to become an archer, but could not handle a bow at ALL, his arrows would go EVERYWHERE except toward the target. so he went on a quest to find the magical golden arrow.

in the epilogue, the narrator says, "and with the golden arrow, he hit a bullseye every time!"

-BUT The picture shows the arrow bouncing ALL over the place and eventually hitting the target!

"keep your head down, Robin! it's STILL dangerous to be near him when he's practicing!"
