Next: home again!

Looks like Watusi may have a hard time readjusting to life in Wonder Valley, where dogs are a less rare breed!

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…

And don’t feel too bad about Tik-Tok … he’s been in a situation like this before!
It’s a good thing Kirby’s spent enough time studying science that he can talk “robot”…

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…
Wha-?!? Explanations are forthcoming, I hope!

I’ve been trying to avoid reading other peoples’ takes on Oz characters, but I have heard that Tik-Tok often turns out to be more sinister than he was in Baum’s books. I hope I can treat him well…
