- Boq is a rich Munchkin who provides shelter for Dorothy Gale on her journey to the Emerald City. While the novel initially depicts Dorothy meeting only three Munchkins when she meets the Good Witch of the North, there is a small party at Boq's mansion (consisting of his closest friends and five fiddlers) celebrating the Wicked Witch of the East's demise that welcomes Dorothy as guest of honor. Boq waits upon her himself, offering her fruit, nuts, cakes, and pies. He is also the one who informs her that only witches and sorceresses wear white, and that combined with Munchkin blue in her gingham dress, this implies to them that she is a friendly witch. He tells Dorothy that he has never been to the Emerald City and does not know exactly how far away it is, for he believes that one should never go there unless one has business with the Wizard.
- Boq was a more prominent character in Gregory Maguire's 1995 novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, which purports to show the lives of some of Baum's characters from another perspective, and more prominent still in the Broadway musical version of Wicked. In the book Wicked, Boq is a munchkin who attends school at Shiz University with Elphaba and Galinda (who would grow up to become The Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good Witch respectively). He narrates a whole section of the book in the Shiz University section of the novel. He assists Elphaba in doing research for Doctor Dillamond, and becomes friends with Crope, Tibbett, and Avaric. Boq appears to be jealous of Avaric's good looks, charm, and money. Boq is briefly in love with Miss Galinda of the Arduennas, but they end up being friends. Eventually he marries Miss Milla (another school-mate who plays a minor role). Boq changes near the end of the book, in a way turning on Elphaba. In the musical, he is the love interest of Elphaba's younger sister, Nessarose (who would later become The Wicked Witch of the East). However, the feeling is not mutual; Boq only became involved with Nessarose in hopes of impressing Galinda, whom he truly has his heart set on. Unfortunately for him, though, Galinda disregards him so much that she cannot remember his name (calling him Bick). When Nessarose eventually becomes the governor of Munchkinland, she uses her power to enslave Boq as her personal servant. While trying to cast a spell that would make him fall in love with her, she accidentally causes his heart to stop and vanish completely. In a desperate attempt to save Boq's life, Elphaba turns Boq into the Tin Woodman. (In both the Wicked novel and Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Boq and the Tin Man are separate characters.) Boq appears again in Father Goose in Oz, and with his wife Johanna, in The Hollyhock Dolls in Oz and Bucketheads in Oz. He creates Mortimor Mix to help keep the Road of Yellow Bricks in repair, in The Tin Castle of Oz. He also re-appears in John W. Kennedy's A Grown-Up in Oz.
