This Week's Oz Short Story

Actually, this week is more a series of Oz vignettes, as "Cornucopia Oziana" by Lee Avila from the 1983 issue of Oziana presents a series of very short stories expanding on things Baum failed to mention in the Oz books. Over the course of only two pages, we learn:

• The song the Chief of the Whimsies sang to Guph in The Emerald City of Oz.
• Further juggling tricks by the Royal Jugglers of Bunnybury, as well as what symbol are on their robes.
• What happened to Googly-Goo (and his fortune!) after the events of The Scarecrow of Oz (believe it or not, he was never punished in the book, an oversight on Baum's part, I'm sure).
• The pressing matter Ozma had to meet with Jack Pumpkinhead and Professor Wogglebug about in The Magic of Oz.

This is actually a very clever way of expanding on our information about Oz, and I'm just sorry this is the only time this has ever happened.
