what do you think would make some really nifty

I don't know if this would make such a good story but what if Ozy met his real parents, assuming they're alive. The more i think about it though the less it seems to appeal to me.

i... dunno.... that could work... that could bomb..... ouch, my brain is begining to hurt thinking about what this could lead too. ok, not literally, but... I don't know if it would work as well if ozy's bioligical parents were still alive. If they had been involved in a car accident or something, and ozy was eventually taken to see there graves... a lot of good philosophical points on life and death could come out of that. That is a topic so far left untouched in the world of O&M, mainly because i guessits hard to make a joke out of that. ok, i could see something that would work, and keep most of the humor in tact, but as said earlier, it would make it less likely that simpson would do something along those lines if he saw us post about it here in detail. granted, he has been known to take some suggestions, mainly when asked "Why haven't you done a comic on such and such, or so and so?" At least according to his essays/rants, anyway.

Stephan isn't as forceful as, say, Millie or Avery, who are both able to push Ozy around in certain situations...I can't see it working for Stephan, who is nearly as withdrawn as Ozy.  <table border='0' align='center' width='95%' ><tr><td class='quotetop'>Quote: (Jacob @ Nov 6 2003, 02:25 PM)</td></tr><tr><td class='quotebody'> I don't know if this would make such a good story but what if Ozy met his real parents, assuming they're alive.

One reason I like the strip is because of its simplicity, its altogether lack of drama.

True about the parent thing: it'd be hard to pull it off just right. What if Llewellyn suddenly felt concerned that as Ozy's father, he might be warping Ozy with an unbalanced parentage and decided to acted motherly towards him? It does seem to be a strange enough yet balancing thing to do that I wouldn't put it past him.. Then again, I doubt Ms. Mudd would go along too well with that.

I've got a solution in my head that would work perfectly, taking up 4 or 5 different comics... but ozy parrents would have to be dead. I can't see it working in 1,000,000 years if his biological parrents are still alive no way in this world, their world, or the world in ozys couch, ever! although you do have to admit... any adopted child, no matter how zen/content they are, will eventually wonder about their parrents eventually. man... i don't want to posts specifics! blast it all to the ends of the earth! edit: alright.. even if i would post it here, im very quickly discovering that words seem to fail me in this area. I can't think of how to get the idea vocalized. Well, im done with this topic... if it comes up it comes up. next?

Oh, I got a really good one to replace the one where Timulty proves the "You can pick your nose but you can't pick your relatives" thing. Firstly, Tim is trying to get his hand near Avery's face but Avery blocks it and asks what he's trying to do. Then Timulty says that the saying is true, "You can pick your nose but you can't pick your relative's." Notice what the apostrophie does?

Here's another idea. I think Locke should make another appearance. Millie would have to go under the cushions to see him since Ms. Mudd has already seen how much Locke has... well... aged in reverse.

I like how the strip isn't a soap opera or adventure that fades in and out of complex storylines. But i'd have to say that the strip does have drama, in its own terms and still manages to be simple at its foundations. I never liked the idea (i thought i was going to get flamed actually) and the several posts by other members have convinced me further.

y'know, i think they should bring back <a href='http://www.ozyandmillie.org/2000/om20001102.html' target='_blank'>emily from down the block</a> it would be funny... maybe... alright, maybe not... what about one where Avery decides to throw a party while is parents arent home?

Doctor Fred · Postby **Doctor Fred** » Sun Nov 16, 2003 4:41 pm

Speaking of Avery's parents, there's only been <a href='http://www.ozyandmillie.org/1998/om19980925.html' target='_blank'>one strip</a> that featured one of them. It'd be interesting to see them in more strips.

MillieMudd · Postby **MillieMudd** » Sun Nov 16, 2003 6:59 pm

Yeah, Doc. That's a very good idea. We've only seen Avery's mom once, and i think it would be nice if we could see how she'd look in DC's new 2003 style.

I doubt anyone would go there. But a lot of people did go to Milie's 'Dream Vacation' resort...

theres one I know is gonna happen eventually, but I don't wanna post it in case Mr. Simpson goes "oh, crud, they thought of that, now I can't do it!" yes, I know it's a stupid fear, just like my other stupid fear of the chat button. in other words: BUMP!
