Jack Pumpkinhead and the Sawhorse

By L. Frank Baum, 1913

excerpt from "The Ozmapolitan" (Issue 5, Reilly & Lee, 1928) featuring Ozma's thoughts on becoming a girl

I’m just sayin’, the fact that L Frank Baum was called the “Royal historian of Oz” and the books were supposedly him receiving info from Dorothy and recording it himself says a lot about the characters in his books who were “best friends”

The absolute funniest thing in the Wizard of Oz books, is the revelation that in Oz Toto can, in fact, talk. He just chooses not to most of the time.

The girlish ruler of Oz!

(Dorothy has this in her room, that's canon, she told me herself)

I I feel so bad for the Oz book fans who doesn't know about this

This is the first episode of a series of audio dramas that adapt L. Frank Baum's 1900 The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, and I kid you not, this is the best adaptation that I ever seen, or better, heard, of the book. Believe me, this will surprise and delight you all.

Please take a look. It's criminal how little audience this YouTube channel has, because by the quality of these episodes, they deserve much more views.

Currently, the Chronicles of Oz, how they call the series, has three seasons, adapting the first three books of the Oz series.

Please, spread the word. I assure you, this series is really, really good.

I just found out there were wooden Woozy toys made for the 1914 Patchwork girl film, and ALSDKFJLSDFLKDSJFLKSDFLKDSFJ I LOVE HIM SO MUCH

[tattypoo]

my new compared my old design of dorothy from last year! I like to think of the new one as an older Dorothy a couple years after the first book.

It’s my first time taking ADHD medication and I just realized The Wizard of Oz still exists in the universe of The Wizard of Oz.

If the books revolved around Baum receiving letters from Dorothy and documenting them, then the books exist in the Oz universe as history books.

This also means most adaptations exist as either documentaries or historical fiction.

If Ozians have tv and computers, the main 4 in book 1 (everyone’s immortal and doesn’t age in the book btw) probably watched the 1939 movie and picked out all the inaccuracies.

They can see everything you’re doing with your adaptations.

They probably even know about the fanfics.

An Oz character could be reading this right now.

I can’t even IMAGINE how bizarre Wicked must have felt to them (even though I love it).

The suits on the cards are stars, hearts, swords (which look like spades), and emeralds representing wisdom, love, courage, and hope. In some decks, trees (which look like clubs) are switched out for the wisdom suit. Playing cards are a recent fad in Oz, first introduced by The Wizard, who brought a deck from his homeland. He may have taught Ozma some card tricks on one of the three visits he made to Mombi's house.
