Origin[]
The Loonie King is the king of Loonie Land.
At the bottom of the stairs, Raggedy Ann, Andy, the Camel with the Wrinkled Knees, Jenny, and the Tired Old Horse find a valley populated by strange creatures who take them captive and march them to the King. The Loonie King agrees to let them take Jan and go if Raggedy Ann can successfully answer three nonsensical riddles. She does this with ease, so he demands that she answer three more. After she refuses, Raggedy Andy tweaks the King's nose so hard that it brings tears to his eyes. The Looniest Knight is called to cut off Raggedy Andy's nose, but the rag doll stands his ground, which intimidates the knight so much that he throws their match. The King is so impressed that he lets everyone go.
