I'd also include Peter Pan in this tradition. Neverland is a classic "portal fantasy" world.
My own novel The Lasting Lands folds in aspects of Oz, Wonderland, and Neverland, and I think the general vibe aligns with Over the Garden Wall really well. I'm definitely a fan.

It's going to get a lot cleaner once I digitize it, but first I have to do the whole thing by hand to make sure the end product has that hand-drawn feel.

Heh, pretty sure I'm that spouse. My wife's only issue is that I'm too slow. Same with cooking. I know what I'm doing, but I take a while.
