Hehe, reminds me of the comic with Millie using Llewellyn's voice/font and saying things she thought he should say.
But yeah, who else could create images like that?

The only thing I ever forged on my report card was turning B-'s into B+'s...

In both middle school and high school, our report cards (which were computer-printed on big sheets of paper and not "cards" at all) included up to 2 teacher-provided comments with each grade. The teachers picked them from a list. Stuff like "PLEASURE TO HAVE IN CLASS", "DOES NOT PUT FORTH BEST EFFORT", etc etc. In my 8th grade History class, for the final quarter of the year, the teacher allowed us to pick which comments we wanted to have! The idea being that you could have nice comments and your parents would think that he picked them, not you.
So naturally I picked "DOES NOT WEAR GYM ATTIRE TO CLASS".
Twice.

I agree! Especially so in the last panel.

Agreed too 
(actually, I believe this is and has always been true, so that statement could be classified as redundant. But in Millie's case, I believe that stating the obvious is never too much 
)
And Millie's dreams are not all that weird. I believe that I used to have even weirder dreams than those of hers. But maybe I had them during the time when dragons were still with the dream business up and running...

Blue shadows
a Venetian parade
eyes on a starlet who was yet to be made
he had the thin blue lips
and a fingerless glove
he was a hunter for a prey
to put his prints on
Oh, Svengali
oh, Svengali
wide eyes mesmerize
ain't he clever
oh, Svengali
He set stages from Vienna to Rome
he promised flowers and footlights
if she'd only leave home
when he secured her passage on an Ægean ship
she didn't know of the power
in an evil man's grip
Oh, Svengali
oh, Svengali
wide eyes mesmerize
ain't he clever
oh, Svengali
I knew you when...
you saw a scene in the clouds
you saw a man in the moon
and your mood was enthralling
you could weep for a falling star
He'll take you deep in his debt
he's wanting all he can get
will your heart hold the virtue?
you've never known that power
that the evil men use
"Gone!"
cried the madman
as he slapped her to life
and then a cold wind slowly sucked him into the night
so come away
to the refuge they can never control
they'll try to steal your body
but they can't touch your soul
Oh, Svengali
oh, Svengali
wide eyes mesmerize
ain't he clever
oh, Svengali
Oh, Svengali
oh, Svengali
wide eyes mesmerize
ain't he clever
oh, Svengali...!!!!!!
