Our hopeful dreamers return to the Wizard’s throne room to lay claim to what he promised, but instead end up finding a humbug cowering in the corner; a man from Omaha making believe at being a Wizard. Tara and EmKay discuss the origins of the word ‘humbug,’ magician-related theories behind Baum’s inspiration for creating the Wizard, and the plethora of nuanced American ideals featured in this chapter. Also, more “Home Alone” references.
