<a href='http://www.ozyandmillie.org/2003/om20031211.html' target='_blank'>Delay Tactics</a><br>...did you catch it? what was wrong with this strip?<br><br>Actually, I had noticed the missing wings before they were pointed out here, but never gave it much thought. What is a little suprising to learn is, though, is that no-one had pointed that out to D.S. before. As the discription sais, Llewellyn, and all dragons that have appeared since (such as Islode) have had wings after the style change in 2000. D.S. said here that he thinks that it was unneccisary to add the wings, but I have this to add to his statement...<br><br>Although there haven't been many strips where Llewellyns wings have been vital, I will bring this to the foreground, as this strip and it's subsequent strips would not exist without the wings existing. <br><br><a href='http://www.ozyandmillie.net/2001/om20011121.html' target='_blank'>Dragon Wings?</a><br><br>This then leads to Llewellyn handing his horns to Ozy. This series as a whole one of my favorite story arcs, and I think that many would agree here, and I quote <br><!--QuoteBegin-Jeremy with the horns+--> <table border='0' align='center' width='95%' ><tr><td class='quotetop'><b>Quote:</b> (Jeremy with the horns)</td></tr><tr><td class='quotebody'> "Dude, whoa!"<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table> <!--QuoteEEnd--><br><br>Back to the main topic, The strip itself shows that Islode can hold her own when babysitting. For someone just trying to get a few tax free dollars, she certanly has things well planned, creating a 370 page form to fill out to jump on the coutch. A few hours of watching millie(a few strips later), and Islode has her doing the dishes!<br><br>The little blurb at the end of the description is interesting too, about the man gifted with painting. Personally, i think this world would be instantaniously better 10 fold if there were an actuall Llewellyn walking around!<br><br>I'll end on this note: When your proud of something you've done, the small little details may go without notice. When you look back on things, those little details begin to surfface. This isn't neccissarily bad or good, as each detail may have both possitive and negative sides, its just the nature of things. This, however, will sometimes lead to the most interesting parts of life!

Mr. Simpson shouldn't repair that strip simply because it's a part of history now. It'd be like erasing out that squiggle in the bottom left hand panel corners in the <a href='http://www.ozyandmillie.net/1998/om19980717.html' target='_blank'>blue string strip.</a> Oh, and after the commentary asked me to, I found the mistake before I read the answer. That was fun. It was like a "Where's Waldo" type of thing.

Good job Fox Chiled. A <a href='http://www.ozyandmillie.org/2003/om20031211.html' target='_blank'>Link</a> to the strip would have been good. Also it's 37 forms she has to fill out net necisaryl 370 pages.

I agree with Mr. Simpson. there isn't enough room for Llewellyn in the house. i mean, the wild Llewellyn is used to wide open spaces (lookit the size of his house) and it wouldnt be right to take him out of his natural environment. plus i'm afraid he might burn the house down. shall i continue stating the obvious or get to my next point? very well. how would you feel if all of a sudden you were in another world because somebody drew a picture of you?<br><br>Tavis, please upgrade your T-shirts accordingly.

I wouldn't mind having Llewellyn in my house.<br>He could help keep my pilot light and melted wax while I'm playing with burning sticks.

I think it would be really cool if I really could make something exist by simply drawing it. Of course, I tend to draw a lot of technology and computer-like stuff, so that might be bad for Best Buy and stores like it.<br><br>"Hello, I'd like a modular computer/PDA set with a PCRD display, dual holodisc writers, wireless desktop controllers and a headset unit for PDA roaming. Oh, and Project Visualize, if you happen to recapture the prototype." Yeah...

I don't want Llewellyn in my house because then who would take care of Ozy? <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... ns/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I guess we'd need to draw the whole cast, but would we really want Jeremy or Felicia...

You can't have the bad without the good. Jeramy and Felicia are esential members of the world of Ozy and Millie. If nother else then to give a sourse of comodery that can always be depended on.<br><br>Remember: It's not who we like and dislike it's how we think and act about them. You can't change anybody else you can only change yourself.
