Now Ozy will never be bullied at school, although, Vine will try to suspend him for defending himself...

[CodeCat]

Then what if Llewellyn homeschools Ozy instead? Imagine the implications!

[Bocaj Claw]

As for why this really worked... to paraphrase Who Framed Roger Rabbit:

"You mean you've been able to breathe fire this whole time?!"

"Not this whole time. Just when it was funny."

You are made of win sir. Win and flesh.

Now Ozy will never be bullied at school, although, Vine will try to suspend him for defending himself...

I doubt that Ozy will use his newfound spicyness to defend himself. It would ruin the dynamic of his interactions with Jeremy for one thing. And it's probably not that zen.

[nickspoon]

How is breathing fire not zen?

Also, awesome.

[Starlock]

Not only is Millie's expression priceless, she is near speechless.
I can't even remember the last time that happened.

That makes this strip a keeper.

[Foxhound]

Pure awesome. Agreed that this is the best strip since Millie kissed Ozy. Love the expressions in the last 2 panels.

[Luke B.]

D:

So, nurture wins after all!

Wow.

[Tabris_The_17th]

.........does this count as bringing a weapon into a public school?

Very nice to see Ozy finally achieve the fire breath. The question is how long before Millie forces him to teach her.

[Llewthepoet]

Nice Job, Ozy!

[Luke B.]

Ozy is contributing to Global Warming!

[Marik J. Foxx]

Millie's expression in the last 2 panels made me laugh
i guess thats the first time Millie has seen Ozy do that... XD

[Richard K Niner]

Ooh, shiney...

[Tom Flapwell]

Ozy may not like guns, but apparently he doesn't oppose juvenile possession of potentially deadly force. As long as the possessor does nothing more violent than toss water balloons, anyway.

This is one instance of dragon strangeness (training him to breathe fire) turning out sensible after all. It shouldn't be too surprising when you consider that Ozy inherited the hair curse and appears not to have been affected by mercury fumes. I wonder how long he's been hiding this ability from Millie, waiting for a moment to make it useful rather than just showy?

DCS, not that I expect you would, but you'd better not go on to have them act as tho this never happened. I think this has important implications for Ms. Mudd, tho she may not use fire for anything but heating coffee. As for Millie, she probably won't leave the Llewellyn estate until someone drags her away.

Then what if Llewellyn homeschools Ozy instead? Imagine the implications!

They tried that once and changed their minds. I don't recall why; perhaps it had to do with Ozy's social needs, especially Millie.

[Comrade K]

Execellent. He should simply demonstrate this ability to the world without any hostile intentions, and the bullies will still stay clear...

i hope this doesnt affect ozy's social life...i.e. millie might be scared off (unlikely) or ms. mudd might consider him too dangerous to hang around millie (also unlikely seeing how she let lewellyn heat coffee for her once using his talents)...but i cant help feeling that that this will change something a bit

i hope above all that it doesnt end up being a dream or something like that

but still, fantastic strip
