Darlings belong on another topic. (My personal headcanon  is that they live on a spearate World without Magic, because there is apparently more than one.)

Walsh is from the same Kansas as Dorothy. He was no more phased by magic than she was. He clearly knew how magical items and stuff worked and even set up that elaborate throne room.

Good point about the time issues. First, it would be incredibly odd that Dorothy wouldn't know about a popular movie at the time (and book series) and not draw some connections. She was dressed like 1930s and backwards even though it would clearly be the late 60s to 70s. Also, did no one think she was odd....unless she was tucked away in a looney bin.

Walsh having a store means nothing because um.....if he was famous people would recognize a man that should be like 70 and balding when he looks nothing of the sort. He could come from a similar type world, but it doesn't mean he's from that world. He never expressed sympathy or regards to being from there.

Also, just because Kansas was "our world" in the books doesn't really mean a thing. Belle lived in France and we know that isn't the case in Once Upon a Time.
