Lio by Mark Tatulli for August 14, 2012

OHNO, melted witch!

I always wondered why the WW of the W kept buckets of water around…

no one else in Oz could be killed, like the tin woodman, and the tin swordsman chop them up and replace them piece by piece yet they are still alive, but sprinkle some water on a poor old woman and poof shes dead

“Oh, what a world! What a world!”

She must have been a real, dirty ole hag to melt away so quickly as soon as water hits her.

That’s what she gets for venturing outside Oz..

Apparently Lio did it by accident. Now that’s odd.

@sisyphos I don’t know, it seems like the Wicked Witch is probably someone Lio would actually like to keep around… and he just accidentally killed her… that’s a bad day.

Now lio has his costume for next halloween.

Oops.

Favorite snack is ding dongs?

I guess the Wicked Witch’s buckets would be to catch water from the leaky roof. Otherwise she’d have a bunch of puddles when it rained and risk stepping in one — an ignominious end.

In “Cheshire Crossing,” the melting isn’t fatal; she just needs time to reassemble. Naked. You’re welcome.

If you ever seen the musical “Wicked”, you know the truth about the “Wizard Of OZ” and that famous scene.

Knowing Lio, the first thing he’ll do is snag her broom and take off on a joy-ride

Really … she should know better by now …

Is witch fertilizer good for the lawn?

that’s why you’ll never see a witch dancin’ “The Sprinkler” at a nightclub.

Ding dong the witch is dead…

The witch is melting!

Kinda makes you wonder why she never bathed.

Now what was she doing there in the first place?
