I like Ozy's look on the third panel more.

LOL I loved the fourth panel. Pure genius.

Both looks are good. It's not often Ozy shows confusion or whatever like that.

For the first time, I fully understand why people say Llewellyn's elevator does not go all the way to the top floor. That one was really... out there. more...Llewellynesque than has ever been seen before. Never before have I seen Llewellyn being so wise, and yet... so... I don't know the word... my brain hurts.

For the first time ever, my head hurt from thinking about something. That was quite confusing. Although I can't help but think of the stories I've heard of the symbolism of snakes eating their tails. I think there was one in Norse mythology, and I've heard it being refered to as a design on rings in this one book.
By the power of greyskull, I'm not sure I believe that.

Dialogue is definitely something Simpson is pretty good at...I think that this particular strip proves it. I love verbal meandering.

It's different to see Ozy confused. I know I would be. I know I've tried to eat my own tail before in a moment of mass confusion. And I don't even have a tail. It was a pretty confused state.

It would be funny if, in the next comic, he actually was eating his own tail. Of course, that's just not Ozy. I wonder what Millie would say to that.

circular logic... always fun. Personally, i think ozy looks a bit TOO freaked out in that third panel. Ozy had seemed to ajust to even the most llewellynesque moments ever produced. I don't know... i saw this comic, laughed for a bit, and moved on. It wasn't the best of simpson's works artisically, or content wise, in my opinion.
If you've done things right, people won't be sure if you've done anything at all.
