Oh yeah Ross Perot! Remember him? From the nineties? Not a name that comes up much anymore.

I remember him. I voted twice for him. Don't regret it a bit as I still think he would've made a good president.

As for the strip, I like it. It's nice to remember that Avery actually was friends with O&M before he got all hung up on Felecia Felica Felcia whatever her name is. I really hated when DCS did that.

Very nice artwork as well. Love the final panel in particular. Not sure why though.

Coincidentally I had a question about this guy on my Gov. final today. I still don't know who the hell he is.

I dig this one. It's pseudo-political and still kinda clever. Avery's tail looks a bit weird though.

I too like this one. It's like political humour like this that is my favourite type of political humour. Also, I will agree with cougartiger that the last panel is especially charming somehow.

For those not in the know, H. Ross Perot is a billionaire who had run for President in 1992 and got a decent share of the vote, but got a lot less in 1996 once his novelty value wore off. (Basically I felt that's all he had going for him; he didn't impress me otherwise.)

It's "Felicia". I came to the strip late and never even knew that Avery got hung up with Felicia. I like this old Avery far better than the later one.

Again the Americentriocity of this strip irks me.

However here much like Rainefail (*shiver* sorry for reminding people of it existance) we have something from "the real world" introduced into Ozy and Millie, so it leaves the question what the heck is batman like in this world, i'm guessing he's easier to identify (hint: he's the one that's a bat or maybe a flying fox).

Having the addition of a real world person in the form of obscure US political figure also leaves the question of if he's supposed to be human (we've not seen any humans yet, maybe there are some in charge?) or what.

This just in, Cougar doesn't like it when Ozy and Millie characters are paired up.

Oh and it's FUH-LEE-SHUH!

Can you blame her? She's American and I don't know if she's ever been outside of the country. People usually draw what's familiar to them.

You are over thinking the strip. DCS isn't trying to craft an elaborate world here. He's just making observational humor and making it furrier then real life. Its pretty rarely that the animal nature of the characters is brought up, because that is not the focus of the strip. Thinking a bunch about celebrities who are mentioned and never shown because they are real life people and not ocelots is silly.

Besides, I think Larry King (or at least an owl resembling Larry King) was in the comic for a strip or two. Its not hard to imagine the O&M equivalents of all famous people would be animals of some sort.

Actually, I just hated the fact that when Felicia and Avery got together, he more or less disappeared from the strip. Maybe DCS was trying to show that painful period where your friends desert you for their girlfriend/boyfriend. I dunno. Never thought much about it but Avery is one of my favorite characters and I liked the way he interacted with O&M and I missed that when DCS paired him with Felicia.

As for my forgetting how to spell Felicia's name, I'm fighting a cold and was on cough syrup and other stuff. I'm lucky I could remember how to type! Plus, when I'm hopped up on cold meds, I tend to babble. Even on the net.

Yeah Feef, I think you're overthinking this strip a bit too much. It's supposed to be funny, DCS was trying to get syndicated in US papers and even if she weren't she still doesn't have to care about whether non-americans know about Ross Perot or not, there's really nothing wrong with referencing american icons in it. Batman is simply Batman.
