Well, that’s nice to know … not!
Well? What is it?!?

“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…

“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…

“The Tin Twins”
Captain Fyter’s actions here may seem gruesome, but it’s my little tip of the hat to Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. While he toned down the violence in later books, that first novel featured a surprising number of decapitations!

“Are you leaving us?”
(I think Jack was just hinting that he’d like his hat & jacket returned before Minerva leaves!)
