I was sure hoping there may come a day when either one of them struck back at Jeremy, but I never thought that day would come. I wonder if this will make the big dumb rabbit change?

Looking at Jeremy's face in the last pannel, I think he's either going to be afraid of Millie now or have a crush on her (only temporarily in either case).

You know, I'm not usually one to be for using violence to solve problems..........but still, I must say:

YEAH MILLIE!!!!

Go Millie Go!

And Millie snaps! But considering the situation, it's fully justified self-defense.

I got bullied a lot in middle school, and only by physically fighting back could I finally rid myself of them, eliciting some cires of "Oh, snap!" from my would-be tormentors when I went on the offensive. I guess "snap" would be a good word for it. After that, the bullying lessened greatly, and I even became friends with a few of them, oddly enough. Perhaps they learned their lesson from dealing with me and reformed? Or were they just trying not to annoy the crazy person who snapped? I don't think I will ever really know. But even so, I had to resort to attacking them to get them to leave me alone. I had solved a problem through violence. Is that a good message to send to children?

It worked, but it was an extreme measure to resort to for something so basic as my dignity as a human being. There should have been an easier way.

Does anybody see a feeble attempt on the part of Jeremy's family at assault charges or a lawsuit in the near future?

Either that, or Jeremy will hit her back, Millie will have to go to the hospital, Jeremy will be regarded as the hero for defending himself against 'that weird Millie kid', and Millie will be permantly expelled from school.

That's the most likely result.

Wow.......

Go Millie!

I've got mixed feelings about this strip. On the one hand, it's amusing in a way due to the shocking way she reacts. It's unexpected, and thus entertaining. On the other hand, it hits incredibly close to home for me.

It feels very strange to see Millie look so helpless, so victimized, as it's not a side of her I ever expected to see. Yes, she throws a punch, but the fact that someone managed to frustrate her to that level is just... gah, I can't figure out how to put it in words. I guess I'm just saying that panel three is among the most heartbreaking panels I've seen in O&M so far. I can't really describe it any better unfortunately.

I love Ozy's expression in panel 5, as I've never seen him so flabbergasted/afraid before.

I also agree that it's hard to put this strip to words, and that Millie in panel 3 is very... I dunno... meaningful, and very sad at the same time (obviously like, crying sad).

it's a great strip, showing some return fire to Jeremy. I just wonder how he'll respond...

Yeah...
It has so much pathos not only because of that, but also because suddenly Millie is very much a scared 10-year-old girl. She doesn't usually remind us that she's a little girl, but as soon as she starts crying in frustration, the reader is all, "HEY, THAT BIG GUY IS TORMENTING AN INNOCENT LITTLE GIRL!!!!"

There's nothing that pulls the heartstrings more than a scared little girl.
