I was just listening to the mockingbird song yesterday so I recognized that DCS had written it.

Now if DCS' music has appeared in the comic and DCS sometimes draws herself as a dragon (last I checked) does this mean that DCS is a musician in the comic world? Or am I just reading too deep into a simple joke? Will this be the last question I ever ask? What if its not?

I would just consider it an easter egg for those readers familiar with DCS' music.

Personally, I'm putting it down to dragonic conspiracy and reality travel via a couch-vortex-like-device.

And/or congratulating Dana on taking one step closer to having a head-go-splodey-now canon for her strip... If her music is canon within the O&M world, does that also make O&M a real comic strip within the O&M world?

it's Evil Jesus eyes, guys

I never understood how you guys got "evil" from that I Drew This strip. I'd call it more "perturbed" really. (Besides, there's nothing evil about Jesus. But I'm not going to preach.)

Anyway, that's really cute that one of the musicians that touches Millie is the one who created her. That's just a really nice idea. But Felicia shouldn't mouth off at his music. After all, with a swipe of his eraser, she's gone

I always like it when artists have a good enough sense of humor to take a jab or two at themselves.

And for those of you unfamiliar, go here, it's the fifth song on the page.

I'm embaressed that I even know that

Oh God no! It's consuming meeeee!!!

Mock. YEAH. Ing. YEAH. Bird. YEAH. Yeah. YEAH.

Oh, and I really like DC's tunes myself.

"Mockingbird Song" is kinda whiny and vague, but I like it that way...

Man, you colored the third panel perfectly. There's not a drop of weirdness around the lettering and the background coloring still looks good.

Great job!

Legs are white. Need to color that diffrently.

Already noticed it after tum0 pointed it out on that other one. Fixed!

And DFC, colouring the edges is pretty easy if you use 'Multiply' blending on the colour layers. It makes your colour darken the pixels on the edges rather than replacing them. So dark grey just becomes a dark tint of whatever colour you're using. It also works very well on tinted see-through things like windows and glasses.

If you colour the way I do, you have mad magnetic lasso skills.
