She seems detached and uninvolved to the casual viewer....V

[Luke B.]

Interesting... so he triggered her protective response, eh?

Heh, maybe she doesn't hate him after all...

Hehe, mammals padded with meat, I guess that *would* be less hurty to beat on than hard scaled dragons.

[Tum0spoo]

YES!
Jeremy got decked!
Whoohoo show :xS

Nah, Ozy's tail is not good for whacking stuff because its to darn fluffy! :-P6

[Luke B.]

It hasn't been said yet, but I just noticed how well DCS handled Ozy's body language these past few strips.

Though it's not stated, in: http://ozyandmillie.net/d/20070131.html

First panel: it seems clear from Ozy's stance that, if he's not running full out from Isolde (yet) he's at least walking at a much faster than usual pace - that, as well as his backwards glance make clear his apprehension about her new project.

Second panel show's Ozy clearly coming to an unexpected stop when Jeremy pops out in front of him (perhaps his glancing back at Isolde distracted him so he didn't notice), Ozy leaning back from the bully, weight on a sudden stop on his right paw, left paw still carrying the momentum from the step of the previous panel.

Skipping ahead to this next comic (heh, I should really be in bed), Jeremy's repeated threat returns his stane to the second panel of the previous strip, though now more obviously leaning away from Jeremy, both paws planted on the ground, but with nowhere to go, the best he can do to get away is lean away, hands half raised in alarm, tail more obviously turned down in submission.

Heh, my brain gets weird when I can't sleep - but yeah, reading O&M sometimes, I forget to look at the art closely enough, and I miss stuff like this too much.

[Severe Weather Eddie]

Heh, it's about time that Jeremy got decked. Way to go, Isolde. :)M

[Fritz]

Yay Isolde!

[GamemasterAnthony]

YES!
Jeremy got decked!
Whoohoo

I second that...though I do think that, while he's down, he should be made the victim of one of Millie's "no pants" wedgies.

[Tabris_The_17th]

As if it wasn't clear before, it's now official: Isolde is AWESOME :wag:k

[Tom Flapwell]

Protective instincts after she'd been hoping for Llewellyn to eat him? Pfeh, I say she just wanted an excuse for speciesist assault. When you're not looking, she'll go to a hate group meeting. Just you wait.

Yes, I am definitively cynical today.K

Protective instincts after she'd been hoping for Llewellyn to eat him?

That would be an outcome to her advantage (and to her documentary), but Jeremy beating up Ozy would not.,

It's like Car races. The Guys running the show don't want the drivers to die of a heart attack at home, and they'll do all they cna to keep them alive for the races, so instead they can die violently in front of an audience instead.

Heh, who watches car races?j

[Dr. Doog]

She hit Jeremy. So sad...'

[Zaaphod]

She hit Jeremy. So sad...

It's sad 'cos she didn't hit him twice.
