The tarts

[TyVulpine]

Darn, did I pick the wrong time to be introduced to O&M. I first heard of it just 3 months ago, and didn't actually start reading it until at least a month later...oh well, I do have to agree that it's probably best to stop before it goes stale.

My top O&M strips:

1. April 1, 2001 (the reverse-personality April Fool's Day strip)
2. Avery, Tim and the basketball strip (don't know strip date offhand)

You mean this one?

Yup, that's the one ^^

It'll seem very strange not having this to read each day. Ah well, as long as he pulls of a spectacular ending!

after the daily strips are done, what will happen to this forum?

This was one of the first things I thought. I guess the old hands and people who actually know each other will stick around, but the community is bound to drift apart somewhat.

I'm really going to miss this strip. I love this strip, I really do. It's hands-down my favorite webcomic. I did notice recently that the general greatness of the comics has been declining a bit, and I guess D.C. saw it too, and decided to end it while it's still got that charm. I have all of the books, and I plan on getting that final collection as well when it's out. I always had this strip to look forward to when I came home from school every day, and I must admit my school's a lot like Ozy and Millie's school, which just made the strip even better. My friend and I pretty much have the same relationship that Ozy and Millie do, so she would often joke about that too. I loved how much this strip related to life, I loved the philosophy, the meanings behind it, and all that. Even the conflicting of ideas, with animal characters (commonly childish, with the exception of furry media) and such mature ideas in the comic seems to just blend together perfectly. It's simply an amazing comic, one I'm certainly going to miss when it ends.

*sniff*. I too am sad to see it go, and a little surprised. I also can understand, though. It is true that the stories aren't quite as fresh as they were, though DCS's artistic skills have improved tremendously. I agree that there's been too much focus on Millie, and to some extent Ozy (who's gotten less interesting over the years), and I'd rather see more Avery, Timulty, Llewellyn, and Ms. Mudd than more Felicia. Well, I'm looking forward to the rest of the series, and while I'm not convinced it can't move forward in new directions, I also look forward to whatever DCS may come up with next. Perhaps Raine Dog?

Bil Holbrook mentioned earlier today that he liked the "Goth Felicia" arc...

It occurs to me now that I might not find out when DCS revisits the O&M characters. I don't read the "bluerain" LJ, and I read "I Read This" only sporadically. I'm not going to return to ozyandmillie.org (or .net) every month hoping for an update.

Well, one of Bill's great "Safe Havens" characters has goth elements....

Well, chances are that someone will post the new strip here in the forums, so you can always check here every once in a while. I'm certainly not going anywhere.

When it ends, can we rename the forum Steve?

OTH movie reference yes?

Steve's a good name.

Also, this quote amused me:

I don't think comic strips, or creative projects in general, ought to continue long after the creator has mentally moved on, and it's always tragic when they do ("Peanuts," "The Simpsons"). I always said I'd know when it was time for me to move on. I'm afraid that time is fast approaching.

It amused me because I realised that for me and WFTT, that happened just after strip number five

You should use the RSS feeds.

I'll miss you Ozy and Millie.

Hope this final year is a great one. (Hey, this year I graduate too... what a coincidence)

Hmmm...I should declare this year graduate year. Technically I'm not really graduated yet since finals begin this week....Wednesday to be exact. Still I don't see my bombing ever one of my finals and ending up with a failing grade. Boy that would suck.

Everything has an end even things that we adore whitch is wery sad, but we find comfort and closure when we think of the good memories of it.
