    There are book versions, including what the Woggle-Bug said each week.

    Interestingly, the Woogle-Bug in the books consistently has two arms.

    After the strip ended, there was a book continuing the Woggle-Bug’s adventures alone in America, simply titled “The Woggle-Bug Book”. I’m afraid it’s rather lame, and also has even more ethnic humor. Strictly for completists.

    Around 1960, the storyline of the comic was heavily, heavily modernized and rewritten in book form by an anonymous editor, given new illustrations by Dick Martin (one of the main Oz illustrators), and published under the title, “The Visitors From Oz”.
