I believe that look is generally on Ozy's face accompanied by "Wait, what?"<br><br>Also, that's not technically a haiku, as it does not convey an emotion or aspect of nature. But it's still humourous.

When I looked at it, it said Haiku Slam. But, just now when I looked again, seconds later, it now sais Senryu-Slammed.<br><br>Indeed, I love Millie's face in the 3rd panel.<br><br>One more thing, Go Jacob! That Haiku summs up my feelings also.

Great strip. Doesn't that lock of hair over Millie's left eye give her a permanently bemused look? <!--emo&B)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... s/cool.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='cool.gif' /><!--endemo-->
There are some right tits on this world; sadly, the majority are not accompanied by left ones.

...Y'know, now that you mention it... they do look kinda different. Smaller... Younger... Almost like chibi characters... Except not quite.<br><br>I really hope Mr. Simpson makes a three-or-four strip story out of this... sorta like the introduction to Stephanie... you know, there was a somewhere-around four strips detailing how Millie was trying to paint Ozy's hand red with the joke, but kept messing up...<br><br>...but yeah, I can see how it would be difficult to launch this into a three-four strip story.<br><br>...PS: I think they're getting a bit fatter?<br><br>...There's a lot of changes, but I can't put my finger on them...
