Professor Nowitall: Difference between revisions

Although primarily a version of the open-source character [[Doctor Know]], [[Callum Phillpott]]'s [[Doctor Know-It-All (925th Universe)|Doctor Know-It-All]] is also conflated with the preexisting public-domain [[Land of Oz|Oz]] character of [https://oz.fandom.com/wiki/Nowitall Professor Nowitall], responsible for the enlargement of [[the Woggle-Bug]]. This was first implied in ''[[Good Crieff - The Tribulations of the Scottish Division (short story)|Good Crieff - The Tribulations of the Scottish Division]]'' when he mentions that [[Ozma]] once referred to him as “the [[Veritable Virtuoso of Macrology]]”. ''[[Tetra-None Hepta-Oct and Doctor Know-It-All Talk it Out (short story)|Tetra-None Hepta-Oct and Doctor Know-It-All Talk it Out]]'', the [[M.F.S. Scottish Division]]-centric vignette in [[Annals of the Jen: One Year of Jenny Over-There (novel)|the series' first anniversary story]], expanded upon the reference, but, in the process, also made it clear that this version of the Wogglebug's creation did not match the narrative given in the original Oz book, where the enlargement of the Wogglebug was an instantaneous, partially-accidental procedure rather than the deliberate work of decades.
