Holy crap wow.

*stunned by the awesome*

Seriously, major kudos to DCS, gotta be a big step to change it up after being the same for so long - that has to have taken a bit more than the usual effort too.

Simply beautiful. Any chance the regular non-Sunday-style strips will be bigger to? Much more detail can be seen like this, even in the simple stuff like backgrounds and the lettering itself.

And just two Sundays ago, Jason in "Foxtrot" handed an unnecessarily huge paper to his displeased teacher. The difference, of course, is that Jason gave himself more work and enjoyed it.

I am pleased to see DCS do the O&M coloring again.

Wow! This is a good excuse to upload a few hours late! :wag:

Sooo DCS, I guess I'm correct in reading your news post as: we won't be getting any more FREQUENT doses of color, but when we DO get treated to them they'll be in this format, correct?

Now if only the other thing I've been waiting for that was supposed to be up this morning (Team Fortress 2 beta) would come out, this would be a very good day.

Y'know, on seeing the Walk-Kelly'esque nature of the strip just before this one, that single large panel of Ozy and Millie walking away from us, over the log and into the distance, I really did think there was a chance that that could be the end of it. Would be a fitting way to end things too, their dialogue.

Of course, I'm more than happy to see O&M continue, and with a super-sized color strip to boot. :grin:

Happy 10th Birthday O&M sorta! :D

This comic strip = :lol: x750
gforce422 is awesome because:
-He made the absolute nicest comments about me in the other topic. I didn't respond to them yet, because I suck, but they are greatly appreciated! =D
-I would say he would also be a good runner up as one of the nicest people alive.
-He joined the IRC sometimes. But not enough, I say! Chat moar =D
-He is evidently only 18 year old but he could easily pass for 25. =D
-He is a drummer like *I* am and this in itself is cool.

Congrats on the Anniversary! And on today's funny and purty stip.

And thanks for the smile reading the word "Ginormous" gave me.

The reason Hancock signed it so big is because he was the first one to sign it, and had no clue that other people were going to be signing it too. Nobody else was really even supposed to sign it... as president of the Continental Congress, he signed it on behalf of Congress.

Color strip! And happy birthday to O&M :smile:

Still waiting for it :evil:
