If it were up to me everyone would just buy everything, but given that I know there are a certain number of fans who would probably buy one $10 book but not six $13 books, I figured I'd make more money if I bowed to this reality.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table> <!--QuoteEEnd--><br><br>Shiny

I'm still wondering how people misread the second one as "Greatest Hats".

Maybe becasue Millie is not wearing a hat.

David, is the instrument Ozy's holding in the Prehistrionics book inspired by the stringed instruments from Pogo?

Millie looks like she's playing the Air Guitar.

I thought it was a peace sign

Well spotted.<br><br>It's also a very old drawing. I swiped it from the very first Ozy and Millie "book"--an 18-page zeroxed a"zine" affair, containing the earliest strips and the "Planet Q" comic, which I sold a few copies of off the shelves of my local comic store in Olympia, WA, in March 1998.

Lucky these won't be out for a while. I need time to recharge my wallet <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... ns/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

do you want a recharger for that? It only costs $30.

If I could afford that I wouldn't need to recharge it. <!--emo&:meh:--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... ns/meh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='meh.gif' /><!--endemo-->

you can buy a car-socket charger for $40.

Interesting. A great deal really, considering I don't have a car currently. <!--emo&:P--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' /><!--endemo-->

you can buy a car.<br><br><br><br>...$1,000,000.

Doog, stop trying to unload that Batmobile. You signed the papers, you're <i>stuck</i> with it, end of story.
