The thing with apples and oranges, is you can try them both...

Well the saying is in fact a bit more mathematical. Can you express apples in terms of oranges? How do you explain an apple to someone who only has oranges?

Apples: 33Â¢ each
Oranges: 33Â¢ each
Seeing Ozy as a girl and Millie as a boy: Priceless

There are some things money can buy. For everything else, there's your dreams.

Why does it not surprise me that Millie wants to know what it's like to be a boy?

The only time she's ever persued a feminine aspect was in her attempt to draw Stephan's attention.

(I'm too tired and sore to set up a link to the comic)

Millie, let's not disregard the existence of yellow apples. They taste good.

The joke was done at least 11 years ago by George Carlin when he listed disagreeable common expressions. (Others included "Life is short" and "What you don't know won't hurt you.") In truth, it's all a matter of how you define "compare," the intended definition being the opposite of "contrast."

I used to think that women were overall disadvantaged physically as well as socially but not mentally or behaviorally. Today, I think I've underestimated their benefits and exaggerated their drawbacks. I'm also seeing less of a difference between the genders in terms of minds and behavior, at least in the industrialized western world.

Has the appearance of close-up eyes changed recently? In panels 2 and 3, you can see white dots in Ozy's pupils.

Good One, DCS!

I wish Ozy would SMILE.

Hm, I suppose now would not be a good time to try and convince Millicent that it would be a jolly old bout of good fun to challenge these axioms by cross-breeding the two fruits into Orples.

What would Orples taste like?

But I digress.

I suppose the easiest way for the two of them to find out would be to ask someone who has tried to engage themselves in both walks of life. And that could lead to some very interesting answers.

(enter llewellyn?)

Seeing ozy at a side view makes me wonder why he doesn't have long hair... I'd like to see that!

Hehehehe, very nice. I'm eager to see where this story's going (if anywhere. Sometimes they do stop after two strips after all).

He's already worn one on at least one occasion.
