Denslow's Scarecrow and Tin Man was a short-lived comic strip written and drawn by W. W. Denslow, and provided to newspapers by the McClure Syndicate. Fourteen weekly strips were published between 11 December 1904 and 12 March 1905. One of the reasons the friendship and collaboration between Denslow and L. Frank Baum did not survive was their dispute of the rights to characters from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Denslow thought of himself as not merely an illustrator but a co-creator of that work. Denslow asserted his share of the copyright through this comic.
