Love the way Ozy's taking this with a constant expression of... Is that bermused detatchedment?<br><br>...I also love that Millie seems to have been expecting to be asked to hijack a truck of murcury.<br><br>Hillarious strip, pretty much. Although I'm not sure how neccisary Millie in the fourth panel is to the joke, she does add a 'figures' reaction on top of it.

Who else but Millie would <b>expect</b> to be asked to help hijack a truckload of mercury?<br><br>Oh yeah, Don't play with mercury. Nasty stuff. Can make you dead very quickly.<br><br>The concept of Isolde taking anything very seriously is really amusing!

I love the grin on Millie's face. Lovely. and evil. I think she just wants a chance to drive the truck. not play with the mercury.

Even before I looked up what mercury was in Dutch (<i>kwik</i>) it was funny, fortunately <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--> <br><br>And Isolde has definately changed in drawing style. Not really better or worse, just different.

And how would you steal a truckload of mercury? *Rolls eyes*<br><br>I think you're right . . .

You could do it nicel, but i don't think how they'll do it was the point of the strip.<br><br>Its still funny, it was just the last frame made me cringe a bit, is all.

Who the heck would actually ship mercury by the truckload? Is there that much of a demand for it in any industry?

<a href='http://www.scorecard.org/chemical-profi ... 9%2d97%2d6' target='_blank'>Mercury</a> is sometimes used in the production of <a href='http://www.wlssd.duluth.mn.us/publicati ... ry/HG6.HTM' target='_blank'>paper</a>. Since it seems like Ozy and Millie live in the US Northwest (state of Washington), they would be fairly close to lumber and paper production.<br><br><a href='http://www.ehso.com/contaminants.htm' target='_blank'>Mercury as a contaminant.</a> Remember that mercury is a "heavy" MEHTUL, that is it is one of the most toxic.
