The tarts

[Extreme-Speed]

To be more exact, the decline in quality, in particular that of the storyline, began declining around the time 'I Drew This' started.

I think that what made Ozy and Millie interesting for me was the use of political humour in a comic which is otherwise character driven. This is something which I still find to be unique. Never in my voyages through the interwebs have I come across another webcomic which does the same thing. When 'I Drew This' was created, many of the political overtones in Ozy and Millie disappeared, leaving an ordinary character driven comic. That would be fine normally but character driven humour does tend to get old very quickly unless there is significant character development within the comic. This is opposed to political humour which, thanks to the ever changing nature of politics, remains fresher. Ozy and Millie was already many years old when this change occured, the characters were already familiar and thus, it became predictable very quickly.

This being my opinion, one may wonder why I didn't start following 'I Drew This' when it came out. While it is true that the humour of it is fresher, it is also essencially the same has the myriad of other political comics out there.

What made Ozy and Millie special was the combination of average political/social humour mixed with average character driven humour.

In my opinion at least.

Yet true in most aspects.

Once upon a time there was a cake that lived with a pie. There were many happies until one day the evil baker took a knife to the pie, cutting it into 8 pieces. Then many people came and stuck forks and knives into the cake and devoured its corpse. It was a very delicious day.

Yet his avatar is cool... lawl... I dunno why I like it so much.

The names and dates may change but a hundred years from now satirists and comedians will still do jokes that don't deviate too much from the tried and tested "boy, those politicians sure are corrupt" line.

Not trying to be a jerk, just saying that sometimes what looks like change is just the same basic thing in a new skin.

I still think that the strips sidelining of minor characters has let it down too. It used to be a really great ensemble piece with a good supporting cast, but now it's pretty formulaic with "Millie says something weird, Ozy wittily retorts".

Meh, maybe it's just me.

I discovered the comic less than a week ago, read the entire archive in the course of 3 days, then when I finally reached the "current" page, I read the bottom...

Time to start rereading, I guess.

If you really have nothing better to do, then go for it.

True, but then again, I'm not sure what's better. Reading hundreds of O&M pages or studying.

...

Each sounds kinda boring.

[PHSphilip]

Decisions, decisions.

I had a time last semester in which I told my friend to read hundreds of O&M comics for a school assignment. Needed reference material for our drawings you see.

"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings, look on my works ye mighty and despair!"

Nothing beside remains.

[Bocaj Claw]

Aside from the online archives anyway.

well technically

I guess it does have to end eventually. I hope DC stays however, I'd miss bursting in at random intervals . Well, I hope we see something dynamic in the future from DCS. Good luck with whatever you're planning! I'm looking forward to see how it ends .
