Ahh, I guessed that this was going to happen as soon as I read the second panel. And in the first, Millie did have an idea of to do, despite what she said.

EDIT: Wait a sec... Year of the rat? I'm guessing that Millie's going to stop after the tail fur is gone.

I didn't guess it. I was expecting something crazier.

Yes, Ozy, she could have told you what it was. And you could have asked. Of course, it's one boring relative who gives a ten-year-old an extension cord for Christmas.

EDIT: I just noticed the strip's title. Been a while since the last clever one! And just think -- this will be the first Year of the Rat ever in O&M's existence. DCS may have been looking forward to this for a long time. But the Chinese New Year doesn't come until February 7 this year.

That was a nice segue to the yearly hairless Ozy gag.

Wahaha, caught me off guard with the extention-cord.

And Ozy really does look like a rat once he's been shaved. Millie is enjoying herself far too much in that last panel.

It's gotta be a one-time only thing. Millie would never bring this on him in the winter.

EDIT: Extreme-Speed is right, i think.

Already?! Oh dear...

Already?! Oh dear...

I think this is a record for fatest showing of the hair curse. Usually, it shows in summer, and his "anti-curse" (thick coat) shows in winter. (See strips involving sticking things in his coat, including a piano.)

I would think she would stop at the tail. I think...

Then you don't know Millie...

Not just the fact that he's getting a rat tail, but the fact that he DID agree to help her test out her Christmas gift; not the first time he's played "lab rat" to her, both in the main comic strip and in a cute poetry sequence found in Book IV: Authentic Banana Dye, as well as Zen Again.

The Hair curse strikes again!

I would of bin disappointed if I got an extension cord for Christmas.
Then again this is millie we are talking about.

2 things

1: I thought that there was no curse. Or was the curse being a lie really a lie?

2: what about the jar of souls?

The curse... is... Millie!

>.>

And the Jar of Souls didn't really spread all that well on peanut-butter.

Hmmmm.....no, I can't just dismiss it as "well, it's Millie." WHY an extension chord?!

Ah well, as long as she's enjoying it
