Oh my, poor Ozy indeed. But maybe he's crossed the threshold again and Jeremy won't be able to beat him up.<br><br>I like the little touches, flowers on the tail/hat, the true (probably, I dunno) story, the umbrella, Millie's tail. Brilliant.

Around here there was a similar thing, decades ago, about bottles of lemonade exploding on rare occasions. I believe the footage shown on television turned out to be a bottle that was shot to achieve the same effect <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Dang, Millie looks cute.<br><br>"Yes. Yes I did." Classic.

I learned the story from a Newseum exhibit in which the computer gives a series of journalists' ethical dilemmas and asks the user which choice they would make. After voting, the user sees the poll results and then the actual story. I almost always voted the way the real journalists did not, and the other side, even when an easy minority, usually appalled me in its percentage. The only near-even split that I saw was on whether to reveal a famous tennis player's AIDS against his request.

Is Millie going to go beat him up or something?

Poor Ozy! you know I think Ozy has now worn a dress as many time as Millie<br>If memory serves the score is:<br>Millie: 3<br>Ozy: 2

Everytime I look at Millie in the last panel of this strip, I can't help but be reminded of a friend of mine who would be happy to do the same thing.<br><br>Frankly, someone should tell Ozy that his hat does NOT go with that dress! Clash-city, Ozy!

If not more...<br><br>XD No cookie for me. Although I did figure Isolde would try to instigate violence on Ozy, her method is completely different than what I thought it would be.<br><br>Aww...Ozy looks soo cuuute...and millie too. Gotta love that look on her face accompanied with wagging her tail.

Then again, that came out with more of a "kilt" effect, didn't it?

Aww, paaw wittle Ozy, lol.

Yeah... hey, wasn't there some fanart where Ozy was in a kilt going "FREEDOM!" or something and Millie was playing the bagpipes?<br><br>Hey, isn't this the second time I've asked that?
