“Goodbye Yellow Brick Road”

Next: home again!

“Victory lap”

Looks like Watusi may have a hard time readjusting to life in Wonder Valley, where dogs are a less rare breed!

“Last night in Oz”

Yes, this banquet is very different in tone from the last one!

“Look to the future”

Kinda sounds like I’m setting up a spinoff comic, doesn’t it?

“Yeowa!”

As I enter the home stretch in this storyline, it’s time for me to put all the toys back in the toybox & restore Baum’s status quo…

“If you think it will help”

I guess we’ll find out next episode just how scrambled Jack’s perception of things is…

“Pleased to meet you”

Sounds like Jack might be a few seeds short of a pumpkin!

“Exit interview”

You didn’t think I’d forgotten about how Tik-Tok was left, did you?

“Exit stage left?”

Geez, what now?!?

“It’s a good thing they didn’t know any better!”

This episode is my way of sidestepping an error that I only realized late in the game (as in late September of last year) that my whole story premise was faulty! See, I’d only ever seen the Magic Belt being used as a means of travel, and thought that was all it could do. Turns out it is essentially Minerva’s magic rock– it can grant a magic wish every day! So my way out of that dilemma was to just portray the Vice Provosts as having that same (mis)understanding that I did!

Works for me, hope it does for you, too…
