Well...paper and glue tend to become very hard after a while, I think.

Ozy may use the sharper end to peel the paper off, y'know the end used to take out nails.<br><br>Also here we see a similar strip to the one where Timulty looks at a bug. Simpson said he went all out with the drawing when he had a weak punchline idea, like gere, three panels of natural scenes.<br><br>Also i think moving the second strip of the week to friday would be better as the wait between thursday and tuesday can be too long. But that's Simpson's choice.

Another addition to the few strips where Ozy's smiling. And when he is, it's always a classic.

Who sleeps shall awake, looking through the window of our lives
Waiting for the moment to arrive...
Show us the silence in the rise,
So that we may someday understand...

Cuz it's funny and it's also showing some of Ozy's inner motives.<br>A rare occourence.

I really like it when Ozy has a chance to really enjoy the things he ends up having to do because of Millie's actions. It's so rare that he actually gets to do something that isn't humiliating (getting shaved), stressful (being chased by bullies or bees), or simply unpleasant (finding the one spot in the creek that fails to illustrate Millie's philosophical rants). Of course, his wit has given us a couple good moments, too, but somehow, I like how Ozy is finally able to take this opportunity so eagerly.

I agree, Tavis. After a while, you just feel real sorry for poor Ozy.
