Next: Watusi gets what he asks for…
“Do you see what I see?”
I bet Minerva’s hoping the next Ozites she meets are less fragile than a pumpkin-headed stick man and a suit of clothes stuffed with straw! Someone to help with the (literally) heavy lifting of this journey…

“Changing of the garb”
Watusi may be done wearing the costume of a clown … but I can’t guarantee he won’t still act like one!
“The way forward”
Um… can we go back?
“The way back”
Since we already know what Kirby’s news is, this seems like a good time to go check back in with this strip’s title character. Next time…
“A timely correction”
And don’t feel too bad about Tik-Tok … he’s been in a situation like this before!
“Tech talk”
It’s a good thing Kirby’s spent enough time studying science that he can talk “robot”…
“The way I heard it…”
Looks like Kirby’s about give Tik-Tok a good talkin’ to!
I can’t decide if the many characters Baum described as having immutable facial features (not just Tik-Tok, but also Jack Pumpkinhead and (in theory) the painted-on face of the Scarecrow) is a good thing or a bad thing. While it gives me a smaller range of expressions to use for them, it can make them easier to draw…
“Just following orders”
Wha-?!? Explanations are forthcoming, I hope!
