[NonsenseWords]

I... really like this. I think it would have been perfect if it had been completely silent.

[Burning Sheep Productions]

I think it would have been perfect if it had been completely silent.

I agree.

[Happy Rutabegas year]

definitely better. really cute now.

[osprey]

The silent one is definitely better. Though they are both great and cute.

[Tom_Radigan]

Actually, I thought the word balloon was necessary so people would understand what was happening. This strip is very cute either way.

[nickspoon]

The strip is so much better without the bubble. It doesn't really need a joke. Then again, as a completely standalone strip, it wouldn't make much sense without the bubble. So I suppose either way is good.

[Cactus Jack]

Its too vague without the bubble.

[NonsenseWords]

Hm... that is true. I suppose for syndication it would be better to have the bubble, but the 'silent' version is a much sweeter image.

[Burning Sheep Productions]

Given that we know Ozy I think less is more here.

[datherman]

The speech bubble would probably be best as a caption, really. Keeps the image itself clean while still providing an explanation if needed.

[Bocaj Claw]

Well, we know Ozy now. This was one of the first year or so of comics. So for new readers character establishment would still be ongoing.

[Doc Sigma]

It's always the quiet ones you've gotta look out for...

[Burning Sheep Productions]

Such calm confidence and power makes me swoon.

[Bocaj Claw]

Ah-ha! I knew that the strawman principal had a point what with the profiling of the smart, quiet, pantsless kid!
