Today's Ozzish Comic

This may actually be one of the least Ozzy comics I've ever posted. But in today's edition of Gasoline Alley, Walt and guest stars Mutt and Jeff are on their way to the Old Comics Home. So I have no idea why Jeff says what he says in the first panel, but it does have a familiar ring to it.

Today's Oz Comics

Yes, I said comics! Because there were two today.

• First up, The Argyle Sweater swaps out one character for a very interestnig and unusual crossover.
• Second up, Close to Home deals with one character's lack of an organ in perhaps a more realistic way than the Wizard just handing it to him.

Yeah, I've fallen a little behind. So here we go!

• On February 7, Thatababy paid this tribute to one Oz fan. No, there's not actually anything Ozzy in it, but Lynch used so much Oz imagery (especially in Wild at Heart), and a documentary was made about his love of The Wiard of Oz that I felt this was appropriate.
• There's no money in Oz? Not according to the February 9 edition of Frank and Ernest. Warning: Puns abound. So it's Ozzy in that way, too.

Today's Oz Comic

Many, many, many years ago, I ran a short-lived newsletter called Computerozzed, all about the then-new home computer phenomenon and using them for Ozzy purposes. (Yes, it was very niche! I think I put out two whole issues.) One cartoon I created was Denslow's illustration of the Wizard giving the Scarecrow a brain, but doctored to show the then-new Macintosh computer in the Wizard's hand. I think today's edition of Eek! is the early-twenty-first century successor to that long-ago comic.

Well this is a different take on what happened to Dorothy after The Wizard of Oz in today's edition of Cornered…

Today's Oz Comic

Today in Non Sequitur, Dorothy has her suspicions confirmed.

This Week's Oz Political Cartoon

Here's one from Monte Wolverton about whateer the latest thing bugging Elon Musk is. (I am so glad I never even got started on Twitter…)

Today's Oz Comic

Okay actually, today's edition of Close to Home isn't terribly Ozzy at all. But boy, a couple of those party guests sure look familiar!

Today's Oz Comic

Today in WuMo, another file from the Oz police blotter. A clear case of home-icide...

Today's Oz Comic

Thatababy is done with its flying monkey storyline, but it's clearly not done with Oz! In today's strip, our title toddler speculates on what else besides that bottle of elixir may have turned the Wicked Witch green. I suspect it's never going to be canon…

The Continuing Comic Saga

It seems that Paul Trap has more to say about the latest addition to the cast of his comic strip, Thatababy. A flying monkey first appeared as a Christmas present back on Friday (remember this entry from that day?) Well, he showed up again in Saturday's strip, and again in today's. I will keep reporting on this for as long as this monkey appears, even if he becomes a regular.

Today's Extra-Large Oz Comic

Today in Sunday Funnies with Kerry Callan, Dorothy asks the question that has been on many of our minds for the past eighty-five years. (No, not why Glinda didn't tell her about the Ruby Slippers being able to take hre home as soon as she landed in Oz, which is still a good question.)

Today's Ozzish Comic

With the holiday season here, the comics seem to have put Oz on the back burner. But today in Thatababy our hero gets a gift that ties both together. (I think Elphaba read something from the Grimmerie.)

Last Week's Oz Comic

Good grief, have I been sitting on this edition of Six Chix for a week now? Well, the end of the trimester, Thanksgiving, and Wicked finally coming to theaters has kept me pretty busy these past few days. But here it is now for you to enjoy. (Is it just me, or are the Oz comics getting more grown-up lately?)

A Recent Ozzish Comic Rerun

Real quick, this rerun of Liberty Meadows uses a certain Oz character as a distraction. You'll know it when you see it.

Today's Oz Comic

Yeah, I really don't think this kind of event would be in a nice, wholesome place like Oz, but today in The Argyle Sweater, we see just what could happen. It is not a pretty sight!

Oz in Jeopardy!

Thanks to a certain movie coming out later this week, there was a whole video category tonight devoted to Wicked. Unfortunately, they didn't include Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande's introduction to the category, but the rest is all here!

Today's Not Very Ozzy Comic

Yeah, I know, today's edition of Shoe isn't really about Oz at all. But the person in question does have the same name as the composer for Wicked, so&ellips;

Today's Halloween Oz Comic

The story in today's Thatababy isn't at all Ozzy — but take a look at that other family trick-or-treating in the final panel!

Oz Comics Roundup

My trip to North Carolina kept me busy. Then work kept me busy. It's been very hard to get caught up, but I'm doing my best. So here is one way I have to do that and close some tabs that have accumulated: A roundup of all the Oz comics I've come across over the last month or so. I'm going to keep it all brief: The date (in order), the comic (or, in the case of political cartoons, the artist and outlet when known), and a wry comment. Here we go!

• Drew Sheneman, The Star-Ledger (New Jersey), September 25: Trump decides one debate against Harris is enough. One guess what character he's portrayed as here.
• Loose Parts, September 27: A take on an old classic. Good thing it wasn't another certain green-skinned character.
• Bill Bramhall, New York Daily News, September 29: Hey, this request didn't work for Dorothy, either.
• Eek! October 2: And Jack makes his first appearance of the season!
• The Argyle Sweater, October 7: This is not an improvement over the shower, as we can see.
• The Argyle Sweater (yes, again already), October 20: I can see how she'd be triggered by that movie.

And that's all for now. But I'm a little worried about Jack, it's only one more week until Halloween and he's only shown up once so far this year.
