Nice, evening things out.

That was nice. I like that even though Ms.Mudd didn't make the people in charge fix things she made things evened out on her own with loogies and cake :smile: .

As far as Jeremy's concerned, I've said it before and I'll say it again:

Somewhere along the line, an even bigger kid needs to spend a few months doing to him what he's been doing to the protagonists.

Last time someone said there'd be cake, I had to escape with my life... Ms. Mudd actually helps things though, so this time the cake isn't a lie. :smile:
Ms. Mudd would never dump Millie into a pit of fire.
Careful, Ms. Mudd. If Millie thinks the cake far outweighs detention, then she'll start getting detentions on purpose.
I think Ms. Mudd meant that when it's not her fault she'd get cake... like in this example.

Yes, but Millie might just learn that the hard way.

I want to see Millie open her lunch bag and find a note saying: "the cake is a lie".


That would be funny.

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS/MILLIE!!!!

The sad thing is Jeremy probably gets cake for beating up these kids.

No mention of reliable witnesses, either.
No mention of confessed past behaviour from Jeremy.
For a lawyer, Ms. Mudd gave up too quickly.
On the other hand, you can only argue with stupid/crazy people for so long without giving up.

Like someone else said, I predict the cake will be 'liberated' by another detention inmate.

Judging by Jeremy's expression when we last saw him, I wonder if he will at least think twice before going after either Ozy or Millie (but only the next time; after that, business as usual).

I hope that for now, Millie will learn that if she confronts Jeremy again, to keep him between her and the teacher, and perhaps call out to her just before he punches HER lights out.
Where's that video camera when you need one?
Sorry, but the loogy just isn't enough.
exactly what I'm saying. This just feels unfinished. I don't like comics that make the protagonists cry just to end up with a cake and a lesson in being a doormat.

....

and when I was a kid I got bullied, where's my cake? ;_;

Babies have big heads and big eyes, and tiny little bodies with tiny little arms and legs. So did the aliens at Roswell! I rest my case.

The silver lining is always the tastiest.

Except for the teachers. I wouldn't want that coffee.

You can't always finish things in one throw. Or even several. It is unfinished, but there wasn't much to have been done, and at least there was a silver lining in there somewhere. I'm assuming that Ms. Mudd talked with the kangaroo some more, but I'm not regretful that everything wasn't shown...

Oh yes, and Millie's pose in panel one looks epic. This is a somewhat cute comic. Bullying isn't so bad when you have decent parents, as opposed to parents who yell at you all the time.

"The Enrichment Center reminds you that the cake will never threaten your life and, in fact, isn't a lie..."


I admit I was expecting legal actions being taken against the school for failing to provide a fair schooling system. I can really understand why some are really unsatisfied with how this turned out cause I am sure we have all had that moment where we were in the principals office telling [him/her] what happened and the first thing you hear is "Well, maybe it was something you did." or "Well it takes two to Tango".. Heaven knows I have to a point >.<. As for Jeremy I still fear a possible retaliation for Millie's actions. Possibly taking place in the schoolyard at recess :shock:

out of order? Seems to be working fine xD
