It seems that Juni has gotten Ozma's preference down with her comment of Logan's dress. I wonder what would Logan's reaction will be when Dorothy Gale finally shows up because her shadow is everywhere and everyone knows what ship remains the most dominant in the Oz fandom.
Will29 calls it. Juniberry wants to stop Jinjur from hooking up with Ozma.
Glad I was right.
Page 8. Let's add one more player to the mix.

No update this Thursday. I hope Daisy is OK.
From Daisy's Patreon, the schedule should go back to normal starting tomorrow.
As promised...
Functional pockets, I must add.
Epilogue of the date. It seems that Logan is really not good with romance yet. Always being grumpy on something. I hope they find love outside of Ozma before Dorothy shows up.
Also, can we limit the updates to just once a week rather than update every day a comic page is uploaded? It would reduce a lot of double postings.
And I would like to actually talk about the characters here in question.
It's easy to forget that almost all of the characters are just teenagers. It's not surprising they're all so awkward and don't understand romance at all.
Also, the Scarecrow finally legs it! I figured he'd be able to just squish his body through the bars. He's little more than a sapient bag of straw, after all.
No Thursday comic again this week. I'm going to be optimistic and figure Daisy is getting a lot of paid work so that her hobby projects have to take a backseat.
New comic!
Also, very very relevant backstory element in the author's comment.
EDIT: Also, Daisy posts on her patreon when a comic will be late. It is visible even if you aren't subscribed.

Someone should make an "Are We The Bad Guys" trope page, if it hasn't been done already. I searched for it, but I couldn't find one.
Also, more abusive parenting in the new comic. I hope this becomes the first crack that gets Ozma to see Mombi's abuse. Though considering how this comic usually goes, I'm betting any soul-searching on Ozma's part will be put on hold when Jinjur bursts into the room demanding her help.

Yup, girl stuff. Just typical everyday girl stuff. Nothing to see here, nope.
I've been thinking it for a while but with the most recent page I'm 100% convinced that Logan is Dorothy. They're the only two characters to have purple eyes (and have similar color palets), Logan is 15 like Dorothy should be 3 years after Wizard of Oz, and Logan had a southern twang as some peoplein Kansas do.
The most recent page in question
Now...
Back in chapter 7, Logan trying to remember the place they came from can only think of a place beginning with B. Also, the girl face in their mind, if you look at the cast page looks nothing like the "????? / The Skeptic" girl, not Dorothy.
EDIT: The Skeptic Girl shows up again in Logan's mind here.

Dorothy Gale is clearly a separate character, not Logan's past life. However, Dorothy and Logan extremely linked in many ways (including romance since Dorzma is the OTP of all the Oz franchise).
I personally speculate that the wood that Logan is made from may have come from Kansas. Either that or Ozma was thinking about Dorothy at the time Logan was "born" from the lifepowder.
Daisy has planned for 22 chapters for the story, do we're at the halfway point. And she's not sure yet there will be more after this first volume, ask again next year.
I gotta say, this comic has great characterization. Ozma really is just a dumb and surly 15 year old. She keeps jumping from one thing to another without thinking it through, and it's definitely going to bite her hard in the second half of the comic. First she just runs away from Mombi without a plan. Then she just falls in with Jinjur without considering what her friends would think of her joining the revolt. Now she's just thoughtlessly deserted Jinjur to travel with Scarecrow because she's too upset and confused to think about it.
It feels so real. And frustrating, but that's how you know it's good.
Dressing montage
I was trying to understand Juni's motivations here, and went rereading from her introduction. What I got is that Juni likes Jinjur, and noticed Jinjur's crush on Ozma. So she's helping Logan court Ozma to get her away from Jinjur.
