But is it “welcome” … or “welcome” (to a trap)?

“Return to the Emerald City”
Looks like our cast has completed their journey … only to end up (as in many Oz books) back where they started!

“Let’s do it again”
Needless to say, Jinjur and the Scarecrow share a rather contentious history. Baum wrote a whole book about it, in fact: The Marvelous Land of Oz, which you can read here courtesy of classics-illustrated.com.

“Something in the water”
The Forbidden Fountain may seem like a deus ex machina, but at least it’s a genuine Baum deus ex machina …

“Ozma? Who’s Ozma?”
How, indeed? Fortunately, the wisest man in all of Oz has a seat at the table…

“Little creatures”
More talking heads to come, as the council members weigh in with their counsel, and try to come to agreement on a plan of action! (Stay tuned anyway, because a big secret is about to be revealed…)

“The council assembles”
Boy, things have sure changed since I last wrote one of these blurbs! Hope you are all staying safe & adapting to the new new as best you can. Even though my day-to-day life as a cartoonist in the studio should be pretty much the same as before, the mood of the times is weighing on me (like with most of us), leaving me feeling scatterbrained & overwhelmed. Having my spring shows & upcoming release schedules thrown out the window hasn’t helped matters. Neither has the nagging question of how much this fanciful comic adventure really even matters in times like this. I can only hope it brightens your day in some way…
