Current strips

[bronte]

I often want to talk about the strip at hand, and there wasn't a thread already so here goes...<br><br>Of course that might be 'cause the're all re-runs at the moment.<br><br> <!--QuoteBegin--> <table border='0' align='center' width='95%' ><tr><td class='quotetop'><b>Quote:</b> </td></tr><tr><td class='quotebody'> Everybody's favorite running gag. Because really I don't have that many running gags.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table> <!--QuoteEEnd--> <br><br>What other running gag's can people think of?<br>Millie attacking people with a hose is one that comes to mind.

Don't forget that (brief) running gag where Millie says something like "dimpled chad" which causes her mother to spittake.

I was thinking about making a forum for current strip discussion, but I don't know if it'd be necessary. What do you all think?

[Frankenmuth]

There was also a brief gag where Millie was trying to paint Ozy's hand red but didn't.<br><br>I don't think we need a new forum just yet, maybe we will when we get bigger. I'm hoping that will be soon.

I always thought a running gag and storylines differed. Storylines being consecutive strips about a story and running gags being various strips about the same concept not necessarily consecutive?<br><br>Also the various Zen references could be a running gag.

[Zel-kun]

I think the gag when Llewelyn says something bizarre and causes Ozy to forget what he was thinking and utter the phrase, "Wait, what?" is a running one. It has happened many times, and only gets funnier each time.

Durring the Whole Clinton Scandal and Miss Mudd and the coffee spit takes.

[norsenerd]

The best one was the one Zel-kun quoted was the best. And it's one of the eirlier ones too.

[Sabre]

I've always laughed at the shaved ozy gag becuase its happend to me 6 or 7 times in my life. I know how he feels. Its a great gag though.

I think a forum about the current strip is a good idea. Then people could read the daily strip, and come straight here and talk about it.

Well, there's also Avery's self advertising schemes, or the way he suddenly turns against the others whenever someonelike Jeremy comes by... And then there's Stephan's infatuations with the girls in the strip, Felicia, Isolde, Stephanie, and his subsequent rejections... The innocent's view of risque games (strip poker, doctor)... And yes, there was another spittake one about the words "dimpled chad" too. I kinda like the one where Ozy tells Millie "George W. bush, ruler of the free world." and she just faints.<br><br>Hmm.. crazy Llewellyn family traditions, the conspiracies, electrodes (haha), Millie's attention span, freedom (BOTTOM! POO! BOOGER!)

[bronte]

So how many times have we had the shaving Ozy gag?<br>There have been the three times we've had in the reruns, Hasn't Millie been the cause twice? in addition to the big book o'wisdom and the Nair "Shampoo" wouldn't that make it 4? It seems so much more often than that. Maybe I've just read the archives that many time <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... iggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--><br><br>I'm not so sure that Stephen's love life is really a gag, maybe just a recurring theme. The same with Avery's quest for coolness.

[norsenerd]

I happen to disagree with David Craig Simpson when he says Llewellyn is probably making the curse up. There has to be some reason why Ozy looses his hair every year. It could be just a coincidence but I doubt it. Beyond that a gypsy curse makes more sense then just about anything else.

<br>I'm not sure if most of these are running gags or if they are simply the natures of the characters. I take Avery's aspiring to be cool and Llewellyn saying (seemingly) random phrases to be part of the character, not a "gag." <br><br>Of course, that's my view. Feel free to disagree. Please.<br><br>
