This all came to me in a dream last night...<br><br>It's Millie's birthday, but instead of being happy, she's upset at the idea of having to grow up someday. So she's sulking in a playhouse in her back yard. Ozy has joined her to offer some comfort and company. The whole time, it's been raining heavily outside.<br><br>PANEL 1<br><br>Millie: "I've made up my mind, Ozy! I don't care if I have to grow older, I am never, EVER growing up! "<br><br>PANEL 2<br><br>Millie: "And what's more, I am NOT leaving this playhouse no matter HOW hard it pours!"<br><br>PANEL 3<br><br>Millie: "No stupid RAIN* is going to force ME to do anything!"<br><br>PANEL 4<br><br>(The playhouse collapses around them, leaving them standing in the pouring rain)<br><br>PANEL 5<br><br>Millie: "Poor choice of words, huh?"<br><br>Ozy: "Ohhhh, yah."<br><br><br><br>*The humor lying in the fact that "Rain" is David's nickname.

It'll be neat if Simpson actually did draw this one out.
I wonder if it'll finally get it's own forum too. I've always wanted a place online where I can talk about O&M.

but if it's millie's birthday, they'll have to age. and that will never meaningly happen, as his style is not too kiddy-like as it used to be/

I was reading this topic and thought a flashback would be perfect for covering a birthday story arc too. You beat me to it, Holyman!
