Good luck to open one of these, guys, it's really heavy. And for what we know there could already be a mummy inside...
I like sarcophagus...es? (not sure about the English spelling, sorry), and I wish I could go to a museum that allows you to get this close without it behing behind a window or something similar. I also like how the sarcophagus is a furry (not that it's suprising of course, but it's not something you're used to seeing ^^)

Fun-loving Ozy is the best Ozy, I think.

Ozy being mischievous? We don't see that often. Takes me back to the OLD old days of the strip, like '99 or so.

I have mixed feelings on using Greek and Latin plural forms. For one thing, many languages don't even keep the
singular form the same when they steal from each other (in Spanish, for instance, the word is "sarcófago" and its plural form, predictably, "sarcófagos"). When we steal a word from Latin, doesn't it then become part of our language? Shouldn't it have to follow our language's rules of grammar? I'm all for "sarcophaguses."
It's not like we're consistent anyway. We don't say "My computer has viri."

There's a side of Ozy you don't see everyday. Not surprising, though, considering how he's around Millie all the time. Or maybe he got that from Llewellyn?

I keep forgetting Ozy's bad side; hence he really would be fooling someone. But he did have fun telling Avery to remain calm while listening to Timulty's booger song. And he lodged a retaliatory water balloon at Millie after distracting her with flattery.
It's pretty funny to see traditional-looking sarcophagi in a world of actual anthropomorphs.
I don't really care which plural you use for sarcophagus, as long as you don't use -ous by mistake. That's an adjective meaning "flesh-eating." (And perhaps Millie regrets that the casket doesn't do that literally.)

I really think the art of the strip have been top notch lately. This one looks so nice. I must say, Ozy fooled me. I forget deep down he can enjoy that kind of stuff just as much as Millie. His last line there is gold ^-^

I thought Ozy was the sensible-disciplined one!

I agree. It's good to know that Ozy isn't really as serious as he pretends to be sometimes.
