“OZ” Bodkins!

That’s wicked!

At least they didn’t throw a bucket full of water on you.

So … is she not dead? The coroner signed a death certificate saying that he "thoroughly examined her. And she’s not only merely dead, she’s really, most sincerely dead.”

She doesn’t need a doctor, she needs a lawyer.

Hey Bill!! Her toes aren’t curled1

I love this!

And we welcome you to munchkin land.

Munchkinland is slightly more prestigious the UCLA Med School this week.

I wonder who he represents??

Did she get the address of the house that fell on her ?

Doctor is an alumni of the Lollipop Guild.

Dorothy Gale Be Loco…!

I’ve got some soothing Baum for you.

Considering the joy of the Munchkins over the death of their oppressor, this is surely both the beginning and end of a pro forma autopsy. Nobody in Munchkinland has the slightest interest in assigning blame or pressing charges on this matter.

I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore! :)

Please, don’t spit when you talk.

Munchkins were normal sized and always wore blue, the slippers were sliver not ruby, the movie was made from the theatrical production and they needed to make the shoes more visible on stage so they became ruby studded.

along with the Munchkins there was three other areas of Oz, yellow for Winkies, red for Quadlings, and purple for the Gillikins the “Emerald” city was actually white but the wizard made everyone wear green glasses to make it appear emerald green. each area had their own witch, the east and the west witches were bad witches and the north and the south were good witches

the Oz books were wonderful books … i wish more people would take the time to read them and the other stories written by other people about Oz and the other countries around Oz.
