'''Tietjamus Toips''' is a fluffy-haired musician who lives on the Isle of Phreex in a room in the Royal Palace. He created discordant music. He played it for John Dough and was overjoyed when John admitted he could not understand it.

*John Dough and the Cherub

Toips's name appears to derive from that of Paul Tietjens, a composer with whom Baum worked on several projects. Since Baum and Tietjens had, as far as is known, a good professional and personal relationship, this parody of Tietjens's name may be nothing more than harmless fooling (Baum could poke gentle fun at targets for which he had serious regard — like the woman's rights movement).
