Do you know how hard drawing Venetian blinds is? Unfortunately, they existed in 1904, so I didn't have an excuse not to draw them.
Fans of the books might think I'm completely off track of the original plot at this point, but this is the point in Marvelous Land of Oz where Ozma, Jack, Scarecrow, & The Sawhorse flee Emerald City together. Everything's going according to keikaku.

TW for eating an insect
I learned a thing about sericulture today. Something I did not know, would never have thought of on my own, but does make sense.
Sericulture is the cultivation of domesticated silkworms to produce silk fibers. I never thought of what happened to the grubs, that is the silkworms, that are killed so the cocoon can be made into silk thread.
The answer is, they are eaten. And the U.S. National Library of Medicine has an article about the nutritional value of silkworm pupae.
Edible insects are a food source that has high nutritional value. Domestic silkworm pupae are an important by‐product of sericulture and hav

The first mammals were small and elusive, but that didn’t stop them chowing down on dinosaur meat. A bone fragment from a giant dinosaur has bite marks that could only have been made by small mammals, which probably scavenged the carcass.

A Venus Flytrap with trigger hairs. Photo: Noah Elhardt / Wikipedia There can be no plant-aware person who has not heard of carnivorous plants, and the view that the carnivorous (plant) lifestyle is all about such botanics supplementing their nitrogen (N) uptake from the digested bodies of the animals captured by various contrivances fashioned from modified leaves. That seems reasonable; nitrogen…

The brown stocks were on the whole better than the white. With the browning masking some of the ‘unpleasant insect’ flavours. Cricket stocks were the more pleasant, naturally sweet and reminiscent of a prawn with a rounded biscuity savoury flavour. The Meal worm flavour was distinctively unpleasant – the aroma and flavour was hidden and improved with roasting which gave rise to chicken skin flavours and a crispy texture. During a research visit to the Copenhagen zoo we learnt that often crickets’ diet is based on 1/2 cereals and 1/2 fish feed. We wondered to what extent the fish feed influenced the flavour of the crickets – more work could explore the effects of different feeding regimes on flavour. After speaking to different suppliers, we found crickets fed on grasses, not on fish food, and this improved the flavor dramatically.
