Not sure how to pronounce the title. After some investigation* I have concluded that it is indeed supposed to be the weird Z you see (unless you use IE in which case you should get a browser that lets you see the WHOLE GLORIOUS TITLE) instead of the E acute one Ozy mentions. How do you pronounce this title anyway?
* - My investigation also uncovered annoying ads which cover the comic when I first viewed the page in Opera! And just as I was starting to feel bad about blocking ads in Firefox.

This is why they ("they" being HTML books in this case) teach you to use those funny codes so early on. Some browsers go funky when you try to embed actual extended characters, unless you use some special encoding on the file.
é is the one we're looking for today. Alternately, é works as well.
(Interesting. PHPBB actually converts the numeric ones into the symbols they represent, but not the alphabetic ones. Useful bit of information, that.)

Yeah I was gonna put that, but it definitely looks like it's supposed to be the funny Z there. That's how it looks in the top three standards compliant browsers, which is a subset of all browsers, but it excludes anything Microsoft made. Or bought.
Unless he wanted it to render the "this font does not support this character" box, like IE does.

I found it funny. It's very true, as I always felt the same way reading stuff like that. It just doesn't work for them to do it.

Gods, that note was painful. Thankfully, I've only had a few teachers who dare to try slang. And hey, Ozy isn't wearing his hat! When was the last time that happened?

Maybe the teacher made him take it off, because the kids behind him couldn't see?

Wow...even to this day my hair stands on end at such a lame attempt to sound hip and with it. If I had a tail, it probably would frizz too.

Ozy has a special hat exception note. Because he needs the hat to keep his brain from freezing. True story.

Ms. Skoroskowityutzs has quite a creative use for her pouch. I wonder if the pens end up hurting after a while?

Okay I was able to tolerate his previous excursions; but he has gone to the well one too many times on this one. I will not allow such things on this forum!

Sir, as the president of Define Current Strips, you MUST have a plan of action! Certainly such acts cannot go forgived? Certainly they cannot go unpunished?
