Lol, I wonder what this'll resolve into.<br><br>And I've never ever thought of the idea of a sheep having a poodle cut before... could be a whole new fashion for her or something...

I wonder if Dr. Wahnsinnig will make them hang out together.

WOW! That must've been one hell of a fight. I take it Millie won though. Watch them become friends now. <!--emo&:lol:--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /laugh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laugh.gif' /><!--endemo-->

When fights end with the authorities intervening, it's hard to say that anybody won. But going by change of appearance alone, Millie <i>was winning</i>.

Kevin and Kell is obviously very literal about that but then it's based on that. In Kevin and Kell the characters still have the animal traits we associate with them (and I think Holbrook plays to this very well) while in Ozy and Millie things such as carnivores and species tend to be less prominent topics. Every comic has its own setting and style.<br><br><br>Regarding the comic, Felicia actually looks remorseful in the second panel. She was rather indifferent last time we saw her in Dr. Wahnsinnig's office. Also, that's a LOT of wool that's missing, poor Felicia.

We know that mammals and reptiles used to be segregated in O&M, and there is still a bit of hostility between the groups. Even Isolde has used the word "mammal" as an uncomplimentary nickname. But I'm not sure about the importance of taxonomical divisions more precise than class.

Well you (or anyone else) cannot be sure because I very much doubt it's been dealt with.<br><br>I think David did the Mammal/Reptile thing to be the Ozy and Millie version of black and white tension in history. But apart from that storyline I can't remember any notable instance where the issue has been explored.<br><br>Personally, I'd rather Ozy and Millie didn't start exploring the "animal" limitations and realities like Kevin and Kell, but if David decides to do something along that line, then I will not object, his decision.<br><br>Now, I'm sure we've driven the original topic off track far enough. So let's get back on the rails.
