Having seen this comic twice before, this is the first time I've noticed Timulty with the drum on his head. So cute, but if Avery noticed, he might offer to put Timulty's head inside the drum and play it for him.

I love the second panel background.

Dang, Timulty is cute!

He shouldn't have kissed her. With her kind of violent personality, I'm supprised he survived the incident.

The raccoon advantage holds up in colour as well.

I've noticed a few times that background characters who are focused on some random object tend to put them on their heads in the last panel.<br><br>EDIT: Found one.<br><br><img src='http://www.ozyandmillie.org/2001/om20010322.gif' border='0' alt='user posted image' /><br><br>I guess it's kind of like the second-pass stuff that Bloom County used to do with the pictures hanging on the walls.

When Millie does it, it brings to mind a domestic dog balancing a milkbone on her nose.<br><br>I sometimes wonder if Avery's stated reason for kissing her was not the only one. Rain did say that of the O&M children, only Stephan has had a <i>serious</i> interest in anything like romance, but Avery may have been feeling experimental. I know <i>I</i> did something at age 10 that would get me suspended at some schools, under the inspiration of <i>Gone with the Wind</i>. And while Millie was not a practical choice for a guerrilla smooch tactic, I can see why he might find her tempting.

[Muninn]

I seriously doubt Avery had any real affections for Millie.

[Tom Flapwell]

I didn't suggest that he did, any more than I did in the fifth grade. I suggested that he was being experimental.
