I still diagree wiht the green sand. I've enver been to a beach where the green are was that green. Maybe have the white sand with tufs f grass sticking out. THat's closer to waht I think a beach shoudl look like. THough I've only ben on beaces on the east cost. Maybe tehy're diferent on the west.

The strip before this one was the very first Ozy & Millie strip I ever read.

I think the setting's further up on the beach on the dunes and stuff. There's green grass there, although it's not really like the grass in the comic; it's tall and unkempt. Hmmm, the location of the strip seems to be a mystery.

The bushers are in teh dunes. As Dragan Fox siad it's not lawn grass. It's tall unkempt and sparce. It's shoots sticking out of sand. There coudl be tufs of grass stinking out of the sad. That is very comon. I do know for a fact that you can't grow a nice lawn our of sand. If you want a nice lawyn by the beach you will have to put down top soil under the greass and soemhow keep sand off.

Well, it itn't near the cafe's and such, because in the strip prior to this one, Millie comments on how she's away from everyone in nature. However, in the background of the strip prior to this one, there is a tree even closer to the water than millie, hinting that she may not be as close to the water as we may have first thought. That and there is grassy stuff growing next to her in that strip as well.
If you've done things right, people won't be sure if you've done anything at all.

I like having the setting far away from the beach. The seclusion's a cool effect. I never thought of the setting as being in the dunes and grass until I saw Caigan's colorization of the strip. Weird how someone else's interpretation effects your own perception.

colored it up with sand instead. third strip in the seagull set, there aren't any tufts of grass anymore, just sand.

Perhaps it's just my opinion, but it looks better as sand.
Still mostly here.

I still like that expression on the seagull in the last panel.

Birds seem to be fleeting yet awesome characters in O&M. The seagull, Lyndon...I say they should be brought back for future stories.
