I actually really like this one, and yet it's also irking me. The sentence "Whereas looking like you have no motor control makes you look like a doofus" is absolutely fantastic. But I'm a little weirded out by Ozy asking why Millie doesn't want to wash out her overalls because she 'doesn't care what she looks like'. Seems like a forced setup for a joke, because there's definitely a difference between 'looking trendy' and 'not wanting a horrible brown stain on your clothes'.

Then again, Ozy only ever wears that vest or maybe a coat (which he's wearing open here), so maybe he has literally never had to deal with stained clothes like this...

I think it's a pretty good strip, but it sort of seems like Ozy was over thinking what she said. And I liked that motor control line as well. =P

Millie is disheveled, but I have the feeling she puts a large amount of effort into looking disheveled in exactly the right way.
That which does not kill me, cripples me for life.

I think Ozy is just reacting to how frantic Millie is about cleaning the stain, not the fact that she wants to clean it.
