...Ozy, go see a doctor. Right now. I think you're deaf.

I have to admit that I was expecting a color blindness joke (what with them being canines), but this is... what.


Looking forward to commentary to shed some light on this... strange, strange situation.

You're right, this joke doesn't make any sense to me either.

You've never been in a situation where somebody can't hear you and you say something stupid really loud?

What Cactus Jack said. I actually thought this was one of the most non-lame strips to date; I can relate to it.

This is one of my favourite strips of the entire Ozy & Millie webcomic.

To be honest I think this is one of the weaker strips.

Oh, no, I've had this happen. But when you put it in this context it makes me realize why the strip doesn't work; there's no indication that the lunch room is really noisy. It just looks like Ozy has gone deaf and Millie is being really weird about it. Or is slowly developing Tourrette's.

Cactus Jack nailed it. And for some reason I want to call him Captain.
This is one of two strips whose concepts I think subconsciously borrowed from the comedy of the late Mitch Hedberg. We miss you, Mitch.
