Description

The comic text reads:

SOMETIMES, WHEN THE MEANING OF A WORD CHANGES, BOOKS GET WAY BETTER:

“How can I get to her castle?” asked Dorothy.

“The road is straight to the South,” he answered, “but it is said to be full of dangers to travelers. There are wild beasts in the woods, and a race of queer men who do not like strangers to cross their country…”

• The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, L Frank Baum

The illustration features various characters, some holding rainbow flags, while looking towards a character dressed in military attire, holding a spear.
