Professor H. M. Wogglebug, T. E., sometimes referred to as simply the Woggle-Bug, was a magically-enlarged, scientifically-minded wogglebug, and an inhabitant of the Land of Oz.
Description
Physical appearance
In at least one universe, wogglebugs were described as looking like green praying mantises, but with hands instead of pincers. The Professor in particular was giant by wogglebug standards, and “smartly-dressed”. (PROSE: A Series of Queer Events)
Biography
Acquaintanceship in Oz
One version of the Woggle-Bug was native to the version of the Land of Oz which was visited by Acquaintanceship-982. He was apparently part of the large group of Ozites who accompanied Ozma aboard Acquaintanceship-982's Fog Ship on a quest for the mysterious thieves who had stolen the Magic Belt, Great Book of Records and Magic Picture. After they turned out to be the Imps Olite, Udent and Ertinent, and were defeated thanks to Acquaintanceship's input, the Woggle-Bug cried “Three cheers for good old Acquaintanceship!” to supplement Ozma's official thanks. (PROSE: The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids in Oz)
Business with the Interdimensional Pride Council
One version of Professor Wogglebug was native to the version of the Land of Oz which paid host to the Interdimensional Pride Council in June 2022. He had been developing Information Pills meant to artificially transfer information into the minds of the consumer. Although early tests had been mixed (with one Munchkin volunteer's head exploding), he hoped to advertise the Pills via a float at the Interdimensional Pride Parade, and, as a result, hovered around the Diggs estate where the Council was to gather.
He met with the Man in Grey as the Man was about to enter the Council chamber, and tried to advise him on how to get his various controversial sponsors accepted. As a result, when the Man in Grey was later thrown out of the Council, Wogglebug was banned from the premises also. About a week later, the two bumped each other at “the most heterosexual bar” the Man in Grey could find, in the 925th Universe. Wogglebug updated him on what had happened in his absence, and informed him of the party Jenny Over-There and Dynamite Thor had organised at Professor Helvetius's Convenient Pride Decorations Shop, convincing him to attend.
