But she (and Ozy for that amtter) are high schoolers and no longer 10. Taht's one HUGE diference. This can go in any concevable direction. I don;t want to think abotu ti much. MY thought's arn;t agring wihtm e and are curently bringing up some high school memories I would rather not have.

Cool, I like it! <img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /> I'm curious as to what her personality will be like as well. Hopefully the same, but who can say...

Trust me, four high schools in four years (via moving) is generally NOT a very good way to keep friends... much less is it enough time to get a steady regular girlfriend... on topic: You've got a valid point, however I think we'd still see bits of the younger Millie still within her... she's probably likely to wind up in the high school psychologist's office a couple of times. However, Ozy, I believe, would remain Ozy, except he'd be older... I don't think he'd change that much over the years.

The drawing is cool. I also am very interested to see what their personalities would be in high-school. I think would also be interesting to see how (or if) other charters have changed, like Stephan and Timulty (and even Locke with the reverse aging thing).

I would think an older Millie would be more or less a natural continuation of the Millie we all already know and love. Still surreal and off-center, but maybe a bit "mature," as if that will ever happen.

I think this could go in meny MENY diferent directions. They coudl be esentally the same characters in a diferent setting, they could be what they woudl most realalisticly be at the high school age, it could be a few steps in the way of Mr. Simpsons nightmare (Ozy beign a morman republican and Millie beign trailer trash) though, obviosuly nto there yet, or there could even be the posability that they will takle hard dificult issues inlvoving lots of drama (both litereal and high school type) in which there is a somber point to it all. It could be anything. It's the enitre world of posabilities that is high school. If it were realalistic it would matter a lot what class they were in but t will be very interesting how DC takes htis. Btw, knowing Ozy personaly all I ahve to do is ask him what it was like, which may be dificult to do until the school year starts.

OMG, seeing Ozy and Millie in high school would be the most AWESOME!!!! THING!!!! EVER!!!! It would certainly convince me to buy the book and read it once... or twice... a day.

I can't believe she's 16 and still wearing the same outfit. I expected an older Millie to wear different clothing. Am I the only one that thinks this way? It is a very preliminary sketch too, so maybe DCS is just going with what he knows.

Looking at that picture, I think Millie should start having to wear a shirt under those overalls. I personally am not too sure about the idea of them in High School. And what do you think of Tim? Think he'll start wearing pants? <img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />

Wow, that's a really good pic of what she'd look like! I can see alot of her mom in her, and she's lost that kinda hair she has, you know how it hangs down over her forehead, now it's brushed to each side which look alot less... Millie-like and more mature-ish... but I guess that's expected from growing up...

<--big shock Yes, I am in high school, and I treat O&M as a nostalgic escape. I wish I was 10 again, I'm not sure I want to see them growing up. I don't care if I'm not living in the real world, I've just about had it with the real world tbh.

Time to be really straight forward! 1:She should be wearing different clothes! 2: I like hoe she looks different from Mrs. Mudd, but in some way the same. 3:Yes! she's legal! (just kidding) 3.5: I like it!

Ozymandias · Postby **Ozymandias** » Tue Jul 20, 2004 6:09 pm

I decided that I would read the High School O&M but only so long as it was a one-off in the next book. Not if it was regular.

Agreed, the existing timeframe is pretty close to perfect. However, I'm open-minded, so I'd at least look at a spin-off.
