Monday, January 4, 1999: Fine print

This seems like an odd way for the conversation to go. Shouldn't be more like:

"You've eaten a lot of those chips."
"Mm. Have I?"
"Yes." *pause* "Can I maybe... have some, before they're all gone?"

[Bocaj Claw]

Conversation prior to this strip:
Ozy: Millie you fatass, stop hogging all the snacks.
Millie: Pfft, I paid for them. Maybe you'll bring your own snacks next time.
Ozy: I hope you die of dehydration.
Millie: That's a random and stupid thing to say.

And then the strip starts.

Didn't they crack down on this, later? I know when I buy cans of soda pop now, I no longer have my intelligence insulted by the claim that each can contains two servings.

I would love to see Ozy call Millie a fatass, especially during his anorexic period. Someone draw that.

"You've eaten a lot of those chips."
"Mm. Have I?"
"Yes." *pause* "Can I maybe... have some, before they're all gone?"

That's nice, very realistic. But you see, this is a comic, we need some semblance of humour.

500ml soft drink bottles here claim to contain two 250ml servings, and the large government-mandated nutritional information label gives the information for one serving, making it seem like you're not killing yourself quite so rapidly.

"You've eaten a lot of those chips."
"Mm. Have I?"
"Yes." *pause* "Can I maybe... have some, before they're all gone?"

That's nice, very realistic. But you see, this is a comic, we need some semblance of humour.

But then the next panel could have been Millie shooting a cow because it was looking at her funny. Then it would be HILARIOUS.

You win an internet, my good colleague.
