Thursday, November 18, 1999: Poker butt

[NonsenseWords]

I'm always concerned when these two are interacting out in a featureless void. I mean I guess if Llewelyn's couch can lead to a bizarro-world, there's no reason his broom closet doesn't take them into the ether, but... still kind of weird.

Presumably DCS didn't have the time or inclination, or simply forgot, to put in a background. And for the sake of the joke it wouldn't matter where they were playing.

Actually, Millie could have used "poker tail" instead-but she's a little girl with a mischievous streak, and probably wanted the excuse to say "butt" when she could get away with it.

Poker butt would be a good name for a song

From time to time I give in to the urge to draw humor from the fact that Ozy has no pants on.

Its his second favorite joke.


Edit: MESSAGE REDACTED

[Arloest]

I didn't realize this was a no-pants joke, I thought it was a "haha foxes have tails" joke.

That's what I thought too. Millie and her mother both wear pants and their tails are out in the open.

[Bocaj Claw]

Ah, crap. Wrong commentary.

This is rare, for Ozy. Usually, Millie's the tail-wagger. Ozy's posterior is usually more stoic.

It was, in fact, a HAHAH they have tails joke.

[NonsenseWords]

Despite being a 'ha ha they have TAILS!' joke, I have to say that the phrase 'his posterior is usually more stoic' is pretty wonderful.

[Muninn]

No backgrounds doesn't mean they're in a void, it's common in all sorts of comics. Especially those who are on the internet and can get away with it because they're held up to less scrutinous criticism normally.

[NonsenseWords]

I'm actually just asking for a horizon line. That's why it looks like they're in a void; no horizon line. Is that so much to ask?

[Muninn]

The blankness is symbolic of Ozy's soul. Barren yet organised, carefree and tranquil. The moment an ounce of outside excitement creeps in, like here with a favourable card draw, a little darkness invades to distrub the silence.

[Bocaj Claw]

That was deep, man.
