Lovely colouring as always.

The first time I saw this cartoon, I assumed that she meant she had come up with 27 diseases that rhyme with "Felicia." Now I wonder if she had thought of 27 that rhyme with "Millie" (easier in general to rhyme) and Felicia just couldn't do the same with her <i>own </i>name.

Well, what horrible skin diseases rhyme with "Millie"?

[Bocaj Claw]

I think it means that Felicia couldn't think of 27 diseases that rhyme with Felicia. The emphasis is on "she" and not on "her."<br><br>What skin diseases rhyme with Felicia? <!--emo&:blink:--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /blink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='blink.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I prefered the solo-length skipping ropes.

[Bocaj Claw]

I will also admit to solo skipping rope as a youthier youth. But I didn't inhale. ... Which led to some interesting ER discussions...

[Tom Flapwell]

Good one.

I like the shine in Millie's eyes in the third panel.

Couldn't be.
