Poor Jeremy -11/30/06

methinks Dr. Wahnsinnig will be visiting us soon.
American readers help me out. What exactly is a swirly? What comes to mind is having your head flushed but we've never seen Jermey do that.

LLEWELLYN: And surely you've noticed that a great deal of what I do is extremely strange.

Yes, Emily, that is exactly what a swirly is. Though just stuffing Ozy into a nearby trash can or locker is more convenient.American readers help me out. What exactly is a swirly? What comes to mind is having your head flushed but we've never seen Jermey do that.
And I believe it should be an established fact by now: Principal Beau Vine is a hopeless case. I hope we'll be seeing Dr. Wahnsinnig soon to balance it all out.

Ugh. I don't know about everyone else, but, personally, Beau Vine is the only character in the strip that really bothers me.
Jeremy and Felicia are antagonists, but they're believeable. People like them are actually pretty common, sadly (though there's an occasional touch of satire in Felicia). Avery's a loon, but tolerable.
Vine, on the other hand, fells (to me at least) like a complete straw man. Bull. Same thing.

Not sure how he's a straw man per se, as he lacks a prior to base any kind of distortion from.
Now if you meant that he portrays a straw-man with his opinions, then I agree wholeheartedly. He's not a pleasant person at all and I've actually met a few of his ilk in the past -- those who would put personal politics above doing what's right or just by serving the most popular or those who it would benefit them more to rather than those thay should offer their aid to, respectively.
If the World had less people like Vine, it'd be a more palatable place. It's good that Ozy & Millie isn't afraid to portray such characters so starkly.

My gosh but is that bull a jackass.
Anyway, it's not the point of Vine to be a believable character, but to act as an inflation of an actual character trait found withtin authority figures in reality. By doing so, he shows how rediculous such perspectives actually are.

I'll grant that he is exaggerated, but trust me I've known school administrators to say things that come to the exact same thing....

I got sick of not having a signature. Now if only I had anything to put in it...
