A devoted fan of the Wogglebug, Thomas Lomagro, shared a remarkable story. One night, he awoke completely paralyzed and saw the ghost of L. Frank Baum at his bedside. Initially, Thomas felt anger about what Baum had done to the Wogglebug. He expressed, "I wish I had written the Wogglebug the way Cynthia Hanson wrote him. I was wrong." After this encounter, he was lulled back to sleep. The AI-generated image above is a striking representation of what he witnessed. Before that

One of the main reasons why I refuse to ever be a friend to the Oz fandom is the fact there is a community attached to it based around the books and it more than anything else a cult pretending the land of Oz is for real so much to the point they delude themselves gladly into thinking it is a real place and they are belongers to it and certified Royal Historians. Now does this not define religious delusion all at once? The Oz cult's religion involves among other things worshi

The graphic above represents all that this fandom and franchise stand for. The pictures represent the past, present, and future for the Wogglebug I envision. The ones at the top are of his tragic past in Oz over the course of a hundred years. The three pictures beneath the above ones represent what he is becoming in this day and age, thanks to me, those I work with, and our fans and supporters. The left top picture is the color plate drawn by John R. Neil of the chapter that

I've come up with a plausible theory about the Wogglebug's lousy deal in Oz being because of the Wizard's returning. Based on both the original Oz series and also just as many different fantasy-related books that came after them. Starting with the most obvious. Baum hadn't expected to make any sequels originally. Than once he did he ignored his earlier ideas. Such as his original plan to have Mr. Wogglebug become a beloved hero for all who would become what was once mere pr

Over the years I've come to look deeper into the Wogglebug's psyche. I've now come to an all the better understanding of the differences between the Wogglebug in his inception and incursion in Baum's 14 Oz books, and the Famous Forty (or Sovereign Sixty) books altogether. My love for him remains the same because of it, and stronger than ever. Because I see him in a superior way compared to how fans of the Oz series do. Unlike them, I see him as a vitally wonderful being and

As I'd said before, good and bad (or evil) are subjective in many ways. Just as it is equally true, to paraphrase a quote from the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix movie, all the world is not made up of good people and bad ones as we've all got light and dark inside of us. And just as Sirius assured Harry of this, I also feel the same is true about the situations in Oz with the Wogglebug. That he is not a bad person but a good person who's just had bad things happene
