Queer Visitors from the Marvelous Land of Oz

Queer Visitors from the Marvelous Land of Oz is a newspaper comic strip written by L. Frank Baum and illustrated by Walt McDougall, a political cartoonist for the Philadelphia North American.

[1] The series chronicles the misadventures of the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, the Woggle-Bug, Jack Pumpkinhead, and the Sawhorse, as the Gump flies them to various cities in the United States.

Queer Visitors was formatted as a series of prose stories surrounded by large illustrations, and is therefore not a comic strip in the modern sense.

[3] Coincidentally, it ran at the same time as a comic strip featuring Oz characters visiting America, that was written and drawn by W. W. Denslow.

In June, 2009, Sunday Press Books released a collected edition of the newspaper strips in their original format and coloring.
