Obviously, Dorothy didn't wear the exact same dress for her entire stay in Oz. She was there for roughly two months!

Nonestica is often the name given to the continent where Oz is located. A map first appeared in the 8th book, Tik-Tok of Oz. Many of the surrounding countries are from some of Baum's other non-Oz books. For instance, the forest of Burzee on the lower left is from The Life & Adventures of Santa Claus.

Now, this is a low resolution image, but if you're very clever, you may not have needed to read the compass rose to notice that east and west are reversed. Even people who have only ever seen the 1939 movie know the witch of the EAST enslaved the Munchkins and the witch of the WEST enslaved the Winkies.

Dick Martin and James Hoff later came up with an expanded version of the map that "corrected" the directions:

A lot of people like this one and I'm not an exception, but it wouldn't hurt to make the surrounding areas a little bigger.

Now, Robert A. Heinlein (yes, that Robert A. Heinlein) once proposed that the compass in the first map is flipped because Oz is on planet with a retrograde rotation. I love that explanation. It's canon to Yellow Brick Ramble.

So, I based the planet of Nonestica on all three of these interpretations with some tweaks of my own. I included a few other continents. One of them is called Tazara. I doubt all the lands on this planet are magical, as Oz is a special land. I did a little math and I'm guessing Oz is roughly 4 times the size of Kansas?

The planet of Earth, on the other hand, is one most of you are familiar with.

Gale Eugene Sayers (May 30, 1943 – September 23, 2020) was an American professional football player who was both a halfback and return specialist in the National Football League (NFL). In a relatively brief but highly productive NFL career, Sayers spent seven seasons with the Chicago Bears from 1965 to 1971, though multiple injuries effectively limited him to five seasons of play. He was known for his elusiveness and agility and was regarded by his peers as one of the most difficult players to tackle

Dennis Durrell executed the final painting for Dorothy’s portrait with Tom and Jerry from a drawing I made, which heavily borrowed from a publicity portrait of Tom and Jerry from the 1940s. “Tom and Jerry and The Wizard of Oz” 2011.

Happy Kansas Day! Let's face it - when someone thinks of Kansas, their first thought is The Wizard of Oz. :D So with that in mind, I had to do something for my state's birthday. I happened to have this dress, shirt, shoes, and doll in my collection, so I went with a more anime theme for Dorothy. :)

THE WIZARD OF OZ - Gale farmhouse plans

Here is my version of the plans of dorothy’s farmhouse in Kansas.

As a starting point I used the scan of the original MGM plans of the crashed house in munchkinland, since it game the measurements of the front of the house.

The rest of the house was pretty much guesswork, using standard furniture measurements.

Forgot to add the chimney but for now just imagine it

Huh. This sort of attitude you usually only get from Texans.

how can I even begin to explain this monstrosity— I can't. It's an alternate version of an alternate universe. It makes no sense, but it makes perfect sense.

This verse is dark. Don't let the rare fluff fool you. Or let it. I'm not the boss of you.
