It's not bad, really. The concept is good, though perhaps the last two panels could have been worded differently to add to the humor.

Well, it's hard when Llewellyn's word bubbles are so small.

I think Dan meant Ozy's and Millie's words.

This was actually a comic strip idea that I had about 3 years ago... I drew it with my own original characters, but I realize now that it sounds identical to a conversation between Ozy and Millie.

*blinks* That must have... taken awhile.

Very nice comic.

Thank you =)

Yes, it did take a while... but there were a few instances where I found whole words that DC had written which could be copied directly and pasted into the little talk balloons, like "But, You, The, That" and a few other common words.

...how obsessive would it be, really, to make a font based on the text in Ozy and Mille?

DC copied it from Bill Watterson. :-P

Dude, I can't believe I didn't notice that! Makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. I copied it from DC, and DC copied it from Bill... it all starts with Calvin and Hobbes, babby. =)

Not to much, really. I was considering the concept, but it would take some work. It would certainly make these fake comics more authentic at least, rather than having to rely on lookalike fonts that don't really look anything like the official one.

EDIT: There are a couple of Calvin and Hobbes fonts found easily on Google, which may be useful.

(Okay, I admit, it's not all that funny, but I wanted to revive the thread)
