The Gizzard of Oz


Teddie Gale

Teddie was one of the chickens at the Gale farm before the tornado. When the stormchaser news team showed up, they thought it would be the perfect opportunity to make that indie movie they’d been talking about. Teddie thought they said “The Gizzard of Oz.” He had no interest in being subject of the film, so he dressed up like Dorothy, the brat who encouraged her stupid little dog to chase all the chickens. The morning of casting call, Teddie showed up, expecting only a walk-on role. The director loved Teddie’s look, exclaiming, “She’ll fit right in with the Scarecrow, Tin Man, Lion and Wizard!” Well, sweet little Dorothy wasn’t having any of that. She texted Miss Almira Gulch over in Greenville, and promised her a new bicycle with a honky horn if she’d take care of Teddie. Ol’ Gulchy whipped up a batch of her special brew, watered her barnyard cemetery with it, and zombie chickens rose to the occasion. They swooped over the Gale farm and zombi-fied everyone this side of Oz. Now Teddie spends his days laughing at Dorothy, who keeps trying to find her way outta Dodge with a map drawn by the Scarecrow, who is, frankly, clueless.

Likes: kitties, rainbows, lollipops, pecking out Toto’s brains. 

Dislikes: tornadoes, Auntie Em, flying monkeys.
