What's Ozy on about? I still play with tinfoil. It's bendy and shiny and makes a funny crinkly sound when you ball it up!

This strip made me appreciate how cool foil really is.

One of Timulty's roles in the strip is to illustrate that there is an age below which we are, and should be, immune to commercial pressure. Sadly, I think that age has been drifting lower and lower, as advertisers market to younger and younger kids.
I agree with the last sentence.

It seems that just when Ozy and Millie were about to give up their quest Timulty's aluminium foiled their failure.

Just think what kind of epilogue this story could have had if Timulty was playing with adamantium instead.

I just realized that by trying to buy the foil Millie ruined the one example of non-commercialism they found.
