SDCC: Fables
Every year at the Vertigo Fables panel the creators give a 'throwaway' page, usually a gag, but this year they made a page hinting what the next 100 issues of Fables will be about.

From Willingham:

"...For the first time we decided to go the other way and do a serious, very dramatic Fables story, one that has far-reaching consequences for the series to follow. This one-page comic hints at what the second hundred issues of Fables will all be about.”

The first page with their names is issue 48, but is there any reason to the order?

This is them in the hospital from issue 30, it's not that hard to tell which they're supposed to be. They may be set in order of birth.

From general hair color...Therese, Conner, Winter, Ambrose, Darien, and Blossom. [Not pictured: Ghost the zephyr.] The only thing that doesn't line up is the first one, that she'll be a 'king'. Other than that, it works.

	The little witch has what looks like an Oz belt on. To date, she has never been named. So I am guessing she is either Glinda, Ozma, Mombi or some other Oz related witch. Or the belt is just a Z with a circle around it, in which case I have no idea. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Given her age, I'd say Ozma is the most likely of those three candidates. Wasn't this character blonde in her past appearances? If so, another point towards Ozma, who's described as blonde in "The Marvelous Land of Oz." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I agree; though if she were Dorothy, it would be adorable (and Dorothy is always blonde, while Ozma is often dark), between the Oz belt and the flower in her hair--most of the pictures of Ozma show her with these two enormous poppies on either side of her head--it looks like Ozma to me.

	Sadly, Dorothy's already shown up in Jack of Fables, so it's not her. I don't read that book, so I don't know the details, but I know she's shown up. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Ozma is also depicted with poppy flowers in her hair from the Oz books, and it look like she has those flowers in this page as well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
