Odd. DCS seems to have uploaded the graphic for today's comic, but not the web page.<br><br>Anyways, here it is: <a href='http://www.ozyandmillie.org/2004/om20041203.gif' target='_blank'>http://www.ozyandmillie.org/2004/om2004 ... r><br>EDIT: Alright, the page seems to be up now. <a href='http://www.ozyandmillie.org/2004/om20041203.html' target='_blank'>http://www.ozyandmillie.org/2004/om20041203.html</a>. Incidentally, the strip's title is "Shelley", but I can't go back and edit this post title...<br><br><br>If any of the moderators can correct this, fell free to.

Hey yeah she is very Ozy-like!<br>I like this story arc! It's all well-thought-out.<br><br>And it looks like DCS used Ozy's head as a base cuz if you take out the hair, ear piercings and eye-lashes...

The review process Shelley is using is actually quite close to how I review video games. Always something positive.
By the power of greyskull, I'm not sure I believe that.

Oh yes, the significance of the name Shelley has not been missed, good one.

Yes, I can also see where Ozy inherited his trendy black vest.<br><br>Yes. Me thinks Ozy's vest is trendy. I also think Shelley would be my favorite character if she were a reguler.<br><br>She made that good of an impression on me. Just by looking at that last panel here, it speaks volumes about Shelley.
