No Talking, Just Animals

Posted on September 11, 2019 by Nathan

At the most recent OzCon International, I was on a panel about animals in Oz, discussing, among other things, whether they have the same rights as humans. It went off track a few times, but some interesting topics came up. … Continue reading →

I Like Birds

Posted on April 13, 2019 by Nathan

When I linked to my last Oz post on Facebook, people gave a few more examples of birds I hadn’t mentioned, including some people turned into birds and other birds from authors outside the Famous Forty. I believe the first … Continue reading →

Lovable and Not-So-Lovable Rogues

Posted on August 16, 2017 by Nathan

I’ve now read a few of the Best of the Baum Bugle volumes I just recently purchased, and there are some interesting articles in there, including some on the Nome King and L. Frank Baum’s other villains. I’ve already covered … Continue reading →

Snow Business

Posted on August 2, 2017 by Nathan

I was aware from pretty early on that Ruth Plumly Thompson continued the Oz series after L. Frank Baum, and that illustrator John R. Neill would eventually write his own as well. I don’t think I’d heard of the fourth … Continue reading →

Gaming the System

Art with Brains and Courage

Posted on November 30, 2016 by Nathan

After my post on books in Oz, Paul Dana suggested that I write one about the performing arts in that fairyland. It’s a good idea, but they aren’t really covered all that much in the books. I’ve looked previously at … Continue reading →

Another Myself

Oz on Strike

Posted on March 16, 2011 by Nathan

This tweet from Seth MacFarlane made me think of this scene from the 1910 Wizard of Oz, because I’m weird like that. Of course, neither of these are canonical as far as the Oz books are concerned, so that made … Continue reading →
