This just keeps getting weirder and weirder...

*Oh..and since DCS mentioned the 1906 Chicago cubs...thats it they are gonna win the World Series...we are all doomed.*

Well, it's my fault the team from Boston won the World Series in the worst year of my life. Don't give him too much flak.

Never had that dream before :O

And a missing apostrophe
Looks like he left a space for it.

Yeah, here's the thing--Lately I've been doing things like punctuation with a different pen than the one I use for lettering. A slightly thinner one. (Yes, this is the sort of subject I'm often a nerd about.)

But I did expect that sooner or later it'd cause me to drop an apostrophe, thus committing an error I find extremely grating as a reader...and I think I knew in the back of my mind at least that once that happened, I really couldn't justify continuing to run that risk every day. I suppose I'll just have to start apostrophing (I have coined a word now!) with my lettering pen. It's the only way to be sure.

The 1906 Chicago Cubs and the 2001 Seattle Mariners jointly hold the record for wins in a single major league season, at 116.

Neither team won the world series. As a Mariners fan, I found 2001 a bitterly, bitterly disappointing baseball year.

Apostrophizing?

Personally, I'm not sure why the "going to school naked" dream is so common in Millie's world when many of the students go to school naked anyway! Maybe it's an inbuilt sentient meme...
I've never had that dream either. But then, I've never gone to school, so that's not surprising.

Maybe I had that dream, I just donÂ´t remember

I canÂ´t wait to see the next strip

Yup, I've had that dream.

Weirdly, usually nobody but me notices, until I'm called up to speak to the class for some reason or another.

I noticed DCS alternated from lines sepaarting her white chest fur to no lines separating it at all.

And I noticed he updated the strip to fix this...

Who? The only character I can think of who usually doesn't wear anything has never been seen at school. (I'm not counting Ernest.)

Well, I remember at least one kid who hangs out with Jeremy wearing nothing but a baseball cap...and Ozy wears no pants, of course...and Avery...and Miz Sorkowitz. It obviously is nothing unusual.

Just put the apostrophes in first?

Dr. Wahnsinnig was still surprised to find that pants were optional. I get the vague feeling she was new to the school at the time of her introduction. Or is a time traveler from a earlier time.

Although, most of the adult characters I can think of wear pants or something so maybe its only optional for students.

Or maybe, just MAYBE, I'm devoting to much thought to this.

Timulty (well he doesn't go to school, but he's nekkid), Felicia...

Ooh, I guess I've sorta had the dream, but I was naked on a school trip, and I wasn't the only one!

Quite simply, Cameron, we go by different standards of "naked." Mine being no clothes whatsoever.

There's that feathery kid who shows up occasionally. I don't think he wears anything.
