Odd. DCS seems to have uploaded the graphic for today's comic, but not the web page. Anyways, here it is: <a href='http://www.ozyandmillie.org/2004/om20041203.gif' target='_blank'>http://www.ozyandmillie.org/2004/om2004 ... r> 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... If any of the moderators can correct this, fell free to.

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

well, she IS Ozy's mother. genetics and such. I like her already too. <img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />

Note to self: do not eat juicy apples while reading O&M in the future. So Ozy's Zen-mentality is hereditary <img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /laugh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laugh.gif' />

Just a very small grain.

Heh heh..."Shelley." Naturally. Why are so many stupid or hapless characters in the strip donkeys???

The review process Shelley is using is actually quite close to how I review video games. Always something positive.

Posted: **Fri Dec 03, 2004 7:48 pm**

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

Posted: **Fri Dec 03, 2004 8:50 pm**

Yes, I can also see where Ozy inherited his trendy black vest. Yes. Me thinks Ozy's vest is trendy. I also think Shelley would be my favorite character if she were a reguler. She made that good of an impression on me. Just by looking at that last panel here, it speaks volumes about Shelley. Philosophical like Ozy, yes, and perhaps a wee bit mischievous, judging by that guys reaction... <img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... s/cool.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='cool.gif' /> And, the name is most fitting. It also makes me wonder if DCS plans to pull in a horror-flick parody sometime... <img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /laugh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laugh.gif' /> <img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' />

So, what is relevant about the name Shelley? <img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... unsure.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='unsure.gif' />

Ah, the moment we've been waiting for for some time now.

At least, thats what my English Coursework book seems to think. Actually, his wife wrote Frankenstien, I think at Byron's (probs wrong) house one night when they all sat around telling horror stories...
