Wednesday, November 24, 1999: Red tray

[NonsenseWords]

...Ozy, go see a doctor. Right now. I think you're deaf.

I have to admit that I was expecting a color blindness joke (what with them being canines), but this is... what.


Looking forward to commentary to shed some light on this... strange, strange situation.

[Tom_Radigan]

You're right, this joke doesn't make any sense to me either.

[Cactus Jack]

You've never been in a situation where somebody can't hear you and you say something stupid really loud?

"That tree is far away"- Mitch Hedberg

[Arloest]

What Cactus Jack said. I actually thought this was one of the most non-lame strips to date; I can relate to it.

[Burning Sheep Productions]

This is one of my favourite strips of the entire Ozy & Millie webcomic.

[Muninn]

To be honest I think this is one of the weaker strips.

"That tree is far away"- Mitch Hedberg

Oh, no, I've had this happen. But when you put it in this context it makes me realize why the strip doesn't work; there's no indication that the lunch room is really noisy. It just looks like Ozy has gone deaf and Millie is being really weird about it. Or is slowly developing Tourrette's.

[Bocaj Claw]

Cactus Jack nailed it. And for some reason I want to call him Captain.

This is one of two strips whose concepts I think subconsciously borrowed from the comedy of the late Mitch Hedberg. We miss you, Mitch.
