Photos: Nick and Tiktok
Shaenon: So I got myself a little model V-22 Osprey for art reference, and totally not so I can fly it around and make FRRRYUUUU noises. It’s my own mini desktop Nick!
Look, here he is ferrying a client!
Client played by one of Leslie Levings’ Beastlies. D’awww.
Okay, a couple more photos. As is no doubt obvious from Skin Horse, I’m really friggin’ into Oz stuff. Recently I was at Skywalker Ranch, never mind why. The important part is that while I was there I met Tiktok from “Return to Oz”!
Holy crumbs!
I really freaked out. It was a little embarrassing. But can you blame me? Look, he’s even got his instructions on the back!
We also saw Indiana Jones’ hat, George Lucas’ original THX-1138 license plate, and Howard the Duck’s guitar, but seriously! Friggin’ Tiktok! I also liked all the lovely Craftsman architecture.
My life is weird.
Channing: I’m not really qualified to comment on Shaenon’s vacation in any meaningful sense, but that has never really seemed to stop me in the past. Shaenon, that looks like it was a pretty great vacation.
Shaenon: Vacation? This was for Andrew’s job. It was hard, hard work. Look at the hard work. Pity me.
Ah-hah! The inspiration for Moustachio, no doubt.
And here
where no one looks
a test of formatting
As soon as I saw Mustachio, I said “Hello, Tik-Tok” out loud.
They made him look very much the way he does in the books. Good job, Lucasfilm!
Awesomest. Vacation. EVER.

(NOTE: This is based on the version from the soundtrack album, which has a few extra lines in the final verse.)
Recently I was at Skywalker Ranch.
(Never mind as to the cause.)
Then I saw peeking from under a branch —
Wow! It was Tiktok from Oz!
I was so excited I hardly could speak!
I totally lost all my calm!
I started to freak and re-act like a geek,
Because, “Frank”ly I think he’s the “Baum”!
No … one …
Walks like Tiktok!
No one talks like Tiktok!
No one has all the guts of a clock like Tiktok!
As for sentience, soon he’ll be sim-u-la-ting!
Wound up his key,
He was chatting with me!
He could quote from the Bard!
He could aerate my yard!
He’s a marvel, a dream!
He’s not powered by steam!
He’s the shiniest kid on the block!
He’s so much better than
Tony Stark’s Iron Man…!
He’s the greatest, lock stock and Tiktok!
