Here’s hoping the little group’s time in Shoepeg Town will go as smoothly as their journey there did!

I really try to resist any urges to anthropomorphize Watusi … but if there’s ever a time for him to go bipedal, it’s when he’s undercover!!
Hey, did you know I’ve got a signing coming up for my newest book? If you’re in the neighborhood, drop in at 901 Comics this Saturday, Sept. 8th from 11-2. You can even get the inside scoop on how I’m using actual Oz characters in this story! Full details on their FB page… https://www.facebook.com/events/2125516821102446

We’ll have to find out what that remark means later, because as I recall we left Emma & Kirby at a bit of a cliffhanger– we’ll pick up their story in the next episode…

Okay, so I might have spoken too soon last week …

Apparently, I’m on a bender to make every character harder to draw! At least there’s not too much I can do to complicate Watusi’s look…


Well, you didn’t think it would be easy, did you?

Well, let’s hope they don’t have a thousand mile journey ahead of them!
The first “Watusi in Oz” print collection is available, & it turned out pretty good, if I do say so myself! You can find out more about Watusi in the Emerald City of Oz here and order your own copy here!

There’s nothing quite like walking into a setting sun to signal a change of scene, is there? Next time around, we’ll check in with Emma and Kirby to see how they’re doing…

I wonder if Jack ever regrets starting his “private graveyard”? He’s sure gone thru a lot of pumpkin heads over the last 113 years!
