This is the latest in my series of twisted faerie tales. Ok, so maybe the Wizard of Oz isn't a faerie tale per sey, but I think it'll qualify. I really had fun with this one too. It all spawned from a comment about "ruby red Chuck T's," so instantly I thought of a punk rock Wizard of Oz. Took me almost half a year to get that vision realized (though it didn't take anywhere like that long to draw). Working through the various genres of rock was super fun. And yes, the flying blue monkeys are corporate suits. I may have to do a companion piece featuring the Wicked Witch of the West now...

Fate rarely cares if your having a bad day. Neither does the universe. Jesus, on the other hand, is willing to give you some cake and ice cream to make you feel better once you finally get home. And that's why he's my Lord and Saviour.
Without warning, the wizard walks by
We hear he is, a wiz of a wiz
If ever, a wiz there was.
Or no, wait, I've got it:
The fairies wear ruby slippers and you've gotta believe me!

Reality can be beaten with enough imagination

Always reach for the sky as hard as you can. One day you'll look down and see that you're soaring.
