Tuesday, July 14, 1998: Know thyself

[NonsenseWords]

I have to admit, I... I don't get it.

[nickspoon]

Huh?

[Arloest]

Dumbest O&M strip ever.

Not including the last 3 months of strips which all sucked.

Ozy said know thyself but Avery, who is constantly wrapped up in the trappings of materialism responded with what he was wearing rather than about himself. Ozy then sarcasts at him. Its sort of clever not as funny.

[Arloest]

That's what I got out of it too. That said, it's still dumb.

[Happy Rutabegas year]

I got it, until y'all said you didn't, and then I read back and I couldn't get it either at first lol

[NonsenseWords]

That's what I got out of it too. That said, it's still dumb.

Yeah, that's what I walked away with, but I was sincerely hoping that I was just missing something. Apparently not.

[Maggot Brain]

I enjoy Avery's early stupidity. Yes, the strip is dumb, but...it's the good kind of dumb.

[Burning Sheep Productions]

I don't think it's dumb.

[Arloest]

The premise itself is more dumb than the punchline.

I mean a kid reading from a book and then proclaiming, "'Know thyself!' Socrates said that."

[Happy Rutabegas year]

let's try to remember and revisit this AFTER ozy gets the book of wisdom from his dad.

which reminds me: Llewellyn hasn't even been introduced yet! let's speed the comics back up to more than one a day again.
