So, my present to you this week is, I'm going to do something I originally said I'd never do, but, well, why not I guess: I'm going to show off the illustrated poem thingy from book two.<br><br>I'm not gonna leave it in the archives--it has to be special in some way, right?--or run it at a very high resolution. But, I hope you enjoy it anyway, and I'll be back with new strips for the new year, next week.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table> <!--QuoteEEnd--><br><br><!--emo&:wub:--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... ns/wub.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wub.gif' /><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:wag:--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... ailwag.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tailwag.gif' /><!--endemo-->

The colors! @_@

[Gizensha]

...I forget. Did we ever decide if Ozy's hat and waistcoat are purple because of the surreality of this poem, or due to the night-time-lighting-colour-distortion-effect-stuff?

[Tom Flapwell]

I hadn't noticed DCS's words below the comic. Now I understand why Ozy is drawn the old way, with his pudgy face and stubby legs.

[DesertFoxCat]

The secret of book two! <!--emo&:flee:--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... s/flee.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='flee.gif' /><!--endemo-->

[Arloest]

I personally think it was because of the night-time lightning effect that he was purple. <br><br>Also, since I'm too poor to afford the books, I'm so glad he's posting this!

Millie's poster must say "Toast Sproing"

[GhostWay]

Actually, it looks like Millie's poster is a "Toad the Wet Sprocket" poster, based on a design for a shirt for that band that <a href='http://www.livejournal.com/users/rain_l ... tml#cutid1' target='_blank'>DCS made once</a>.

[Rooster]

So, are Ozy's clothes purple, or black?

[Dr. Doog]

according to sunday comics, they're black. however, in this surreal comic, they're black with a purple shine
