Saturday, October 31, 1998: Halloween

[NonsenseWords]

To be honest, I don't think I'd give Avery a lot of candy either. Or Millie, for that matter, she doesn't need the sugar.

Damn it all, I know I recognize Ozy's costume but I can't figure out where from...

[Muninn]

It's the get-up the Beatles donned for the Sgt. Pepper album. The most overrated album ever.

[Tom_Radigan]

Avery wouldn't be recognized by his tail?

[Arloest]

I know the Beatles were revolutionary and all, but I just never considered their music the pinnacle of sound that a lot of people seem to believe they are.

Oh my god I can't believe you just said that and I take it as a personal insult

QFT. I liked them, but they weren't "oh holy crap these guys are a godsend to the earth" good. Their music spread the right messages at the right time is all.

[Maggot Brain]

On the Beatles: Overrated? Yes. Awesome? Yes. Dead? Yes.

On the comic: Ozy looks bitchin' and Millie just looks like a bitch.

Oh, I'd say they were revolutionary in their era. As for the Rolling Stones, they were revolutionary in the 1960's too, but decades later they degenerated into a nostalgia band once they passed their peak.

[NonsenseWords]

Sgt. Pepper. Thanks! I knew that getup was familiar...

I'm not much for the Beatles, myself. They got some good songs, they got some cracked-out songs, but I don't really listen to them unless they come up on the radio or somebody else's CD. They were revolutionary for the time, but, well... I'm not forty or older. I wasn't exactly around to appreciate their revolutionary-ness.

Avery wouldn't be recognized by his tail?

You wouldn't see it until he turned around and left and the awful truth sunk in.

On the comic: Ozy looks bitchin' and Millie just looks like a bitch.

This.

[Bocaj Claw]

I feel that there was a story out there about why the very sight of Avery fills the neighbors with loathing. Something along the vein of cutting Mrs. Peabody's lawn with scissors and charging by the hour. Storylines never told, jokes never uttered and characters never fully developed. It's almost tragic.

Also, why is Millie a bitch?

Not the only time I would draw Millie as Lisa Simpson, or Ozy as a member of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

[Cactus Jack]

The Beatles accomplished musical and technical feats that still stand up today. Even if you don't like their songs you can't say they are bad because they are so layered with effects, vocals, and instruments that it is amazing that they are so clean and precise as they are. Even the psychedelic stuff that sounds like noise is actually very precise. Its an amazing display of songwriting, playing and producing.

Avery wouldn't be recognized by his tail?

Only if his family were the only raccoons in the area. Most would probably just not be paying attention because of the large number of kids walking around.

[Rooster]

Also, DCS never shows the O+M world to have racism. Damned racoons, coming over here and eating from our bins.

[Bocaj Claw]

Racism is alluded to what with the mammal-reptile disagreements in the PAST. With separate water fountains and allegory layered on thick. Which is why I say Llewellyn is a big black man. A big black Welsh man.
