Funny that Millie speaks of her arch-nemesis in her song, and that she spent an hour talking to her about lip gloss, amazed that she would even give that much time to her.

Nice to see that Ozy has his black vest back, the zen shirt was bordering on a permanent case, but the vest seems more trademark-oriented.

Caster oil, however... Nasty stuff, had to drink it from time to time in my youth.

Castor-oil? Yeesh, that stuff can cause serious dehydration and serious and permanant damage to the joints and connective tissues. Nasty stuff.

"In Fascist Italy under the regime of Benito Mussolini, castor oil was one of the tools of the blackshirts. Political dissidents were force-fed large quantities of castor oil by Fascist paramilitary groups. This technique was said to have been originated by Gabriele D'Annunzio. Victims of this treatment would experience severe diarrhea and dehydration, often resulting in death.

Sometimes when the blackshirts wished to make sure that the victim would die rather than simply be badly disabled, they would mix gasoline with the castor oil.

It is said that Mussolini's power was backed by "the bludgeon and castor oil." In lesser quantities, castor oil was also used as an instrument of intimidation, for example to discourage civilians or soldiers who would call in sick either in the factory or in the military. Since its healing properties were widely exaggerated, abuse could be easily masked under pretense of a doctor's prescription. It took decades after Mussolini's death before the myth of castor oil as a panacea for a wide range of diseases and medical conditions was totally demystified, as it was also widely administered to pregnant women, elderly or mentally-ill patients in hospitals in the false belief that it had no negative side effects."

Millie's crazy if she put that poison into her body intentionally. :roll:

Well, castor oil is more commonly used as an over-the-counter laxative. I had to have it once... it doesn't taste too bad, however, it feels like you're swallowing a slug: it... SLIDES... :cry:

Makes the idea of shaved Ozy in summer all the more cringe-worthy.

Millie is eeeeevil.

Heh, I also sing whenever there is a strip like this, but only if there aren't any people around. :oops:

I like it when David does these kind of strips.
