Haha! Dreams are just weird, right? They don't mean anything!
I hope it's obvious what book she's holding.
"Everything in life is unusual until you get accustomed to it." was originally Scarecrow's line when he first met Professor H.M. Wogglebug T.E. in the book. It's a very good line.

This chapter includes a musical number called "The Yellow Brick Ramble" because after all, where would Oz be without musical numbers?
Many people believe that because comics is an entirely visual medium, musical numbers don't belong in comics. Then there's me, who wrote a comic which not only had musical numbers, but a recurring theme song.
ANYWAY! The title illustration is, of course, an homage to one of the versions of the cover of The Emerald City of Oz. I don't like doing homage covers too often as they're a little overdone, but it's still fun to indulge once in a while.

11/22 chapters completed! Yellow Brick Ramble volume 1 is officially halfway finished! :D
-> I don't know whether or not there will be a Yellow Brick Ramble volume 2. I'll let you know midway through 2025.

Do you know how hard drawing Venetian blinds is? Unfortunately, they existed in 1904, so I didn't have an excuse not to draw them.
Fans of the books might think I'm completely off track of the original plot at this point, but this is the point in Marvelous Land of Oz where Ozma, Jack, Scarecrow, & The Sawhorse flee Emerald City together. Everything's going according to keikaku.

Yeah, I think Ozma is a bit more self-aware of this stuff than she lets on.
Scarecrow is singing Fancy Girl, the opening credits theme song of Ozu no Mahōtsukai, the Wizard of Oz anime series. I'm pretty sure I've mentioned it in the news posts before, but I'm not going to go back and check.
It adapted the first 3 books and also the 6th book. The only official translation is a dub which butchered the first few episodes and only covered the first two storylines, so I'd recommend finding a fan sub if you can.

I'm fairly certain that ghosts aren't canon to Baum's Oz and that they don't show up in the books till Ruth Plumly Thompson wrote her sequels after his death. (I don't consider her books canon for many reasons which I won't get into today.)

I've made a chunk of Winkieland into a bit of a desert. Unlike the Deadly Desert which surrounds Oz, it's safe to walk on and won't instantly turn anything living into sand.

The Cowardly Lion didn't appear in Marvelous Land of Oz, but obviously he was already famous to Ozzites after the events of the first book.

By now, some of you have already figured out that our Blinkie is the Blinkie from Baum's The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus, not the Blinkie from The Scarecrow of Oz.
If you haven't figured it out yet, you know now.

The suits on the cards are stars, hearts, swords (which look like spades), and emeralds representing wisdom, love, courage, and hope. In some decks, trees (which look like clubs) are switched out for the wisdom suit. Playing cards are a recent fad in Oz, first introduced by The Wizard, who brought a deck from his homeland. He may have taught Ozma some card tricks on one of the three visits he made to Mombi's house.

This chapter's a silly one, so get ready!
This chapter was named after chapter 9 in Marvelous Land of Oz: "The Scarecrow Plans an Escape." While this adaptation has taken a bit of a departure from the original book at this point, we're still on roughly the same path as Ozma, Jack, Logan, and the Scarecrow all leave Emerald City for Winkieland. If you're wondering why Mombi still hasn't arrived, it's because chapters 5-9 took place on the same day and Ozma had a 3-day head start on her. Also, she's probably not taking the same shortcut through the woods that our heroes took. As far as how accurate the title page is, I guess you'll have to read this chapter to find out!
