Why on earth would the flag of truce still be white in Oz?? We’ve established that white is a color reserved for witches. Truces have nothing intrinsically to do with magic. It makes no sense, Baum!
Damn, Jinjur is playing with fire fooling Glinda like this. I’m sure no consequence will actually happen to her, but god they should.
Not the Tin Woodman accidentally winning the mission through his vanity. XD

All Mombi had to do was stay still and she would have been safe.
Glinda: “I don’t understand it. I’m so much smarter and hotter than that old crone. :/”
Why did Mombi run for so long as a GRIFFIN? They have wings! She could’ve flown anywhere she wanted and Glinda wouldn’t have been able to keep up with just the Saw-Horse.
Glinda’s got a lasso of truth now or something with that golden thread?

Why are we calling Glinda a sorceress all of a sudden? Have we not established that sorceresses are lesser than witches? Glinda’s a witch!
Ozma is directly Pastoria’s daughter? Didn’t the Wizard spend like 60 years on the throne? How is Ozma still a child?? This continuity is truly absurd.
Why has Glinda not tried to discover Ozma before now, if she’s the rightful heir? Why didn’t she ever care before?

“The Tin Woodman was usually a peaceful man.” What are you talking about?? He turns to violence at the drop of a hat!!
Not them stuffing the Scarecrow with MONEY. I don’t know why him being filled with bills is so hilarious to me.
I feel like there were better things they could have wished for? Like to be at Glinda’s? Or for the Thing to be a real creature and not a godless monstrosity that can’t walk?

Tip just immediately enslaving the Thing. At least Scarecrow actually tried to appeal to it kindly.
WHY ARE HIS FEET ASLEEP?? If Tip sprinkled the sofas with powder, why would the feet not be affected? This poor creature. He already yearns for death.
Tip reading the Woggle-Bug to absolute FILTH.
We’d use the wishes for something more important than SAVING YOUR LIFE, said the Scarecrow. Damn, that’s cold.

The Gump’s nose turned upward in a SAUCY manner? Baum, what the hell are you talking about? XD
Since when is there a beloved palm tree in the Emerald City, most revered thing there?? We didn’t even mention it last book!
Great, now we’re Frankensteining things. This poor creature’s existence is going to be awful.
Shouldn’t each thing come to life individually instead of as one? Magic is so imprecise.

Not the Scarecrow and Tin Woodman just unabashedly hating on the Woggle-Bug. Everyone freaking hates this dude and I don’t blame them. XD
Technically none of them can cannibalize each other, because none of them are the same species.
WHAT? What do you MEAN the previous King Pastoria lost the Emerald City to the Wizard?? I thought the Wizard BUILT the city? That makes no sense!! Baum needs to stop retconning!

“Doing housework and minding the children is wearing out the strength of every man in the Emerald City.” “If it is such hard work as you say, how did the women manage it so easily?” “I really do not know. Perhaps the women are made of cast-iron.” ICONIC exchange.
For someone so educated, the Woggle-Bug can’t seem to tell that the Scarecrow is gay as hell and already married to the Tin Woodman. Idiot.

“We are extremely kind-hearted,” said the Tin Woodman, TWIRLING HIS AXE MENACINGLY. Baum is unhinged in the best way. I too encourage threatening violence against pretentious snobs.
Yay, the queen of the field mice returns! For all the favors she grants them, they’re gonna have to do something else for her soon.
Is… is the plan literally to just scare the invaders because girls must be afraid of mice? -_-

I don’t know why, but the Woggle-Bug is just so vastly uninteresting to me. I don’t think we needed another companion.
WHY DO WE KEEP ABUSING THE SAW-HORSE? He hasn’t done anything! Tip being like “we’d leave him behind if we could.” WHAT A DEADBEAT FATHER YOU ARE. He’s like Denethor with the eldest son favoritism going on.
The amputation/grafting, though just wood and painless, is horrifying to me.

How could Mombi have figured out that Tip befriended the Scarecrow and Tin Woodman? The ladies wouldn’t know Tip was significant to Mombi. Has she been magically spying on him this whole time??
Oh no, is the Woggle-Bug going to be the next Cowardly Lion? I don’t know why the flesh and blood characters are always the least interesting and likable, but somehow they are. Also, don’t we have enough people yet?
