Nice coloring, but I dunno, it needs a little tweaking:

- I still don't like the gold. I dunno, it needs some shiny or something.
- Millie being darkened gives the impression she's behind Ozy, but she's clearly supposed to be in front of him. It's a nice effect to use for a "silent panel" like that, but given the positions of Ozy and Millie in that panel, I don't think it quite works right there.

It's spotlighting the focus character, while dimming the lights on everyone else. More a stage lighting technique than a comic colouring technique, but still.

I know. But it tends to make Millie look like part of the background (but she's supposed to be more in the foreground than Ozy!).

I agree that perhaps Millie is a shade too dark there. But concerning the gold; remember it has probably been up on that attic for decennia, so it's no surprise it doesn't shine anymore :)

I had meant for the Millie in the third panel to have mood coloring, as she is reading a map that is utterly useless in her eyes...

I'd forgotten how great this stroyline was.

I almost forgot to post this.

I wanted to have this one on the site, but Caigan made me blacken Millie's tail...

I thought it was a reference to Millie's tail pre-2000, when it was white tipped...

But... but it's NOT pre-2000. It's 2001. You're making my head hurt. >_<

No, I've had a few strips post 2000 that have white-tailtip Millie in one panel, but black in others. I'm pretty sure its just one of those 'whoops, forgot that' moments we all have.
