Looks to me like some sort of rough sketch. Also interesting to note is the fact that it's not quite as wide as the rest of the stack. Here's about all I could figure: -Panel 1: Ozy on left, Millie on right. Some background at top of the panel. -Panel 2: Ozy, facing camera. -Panel 3: Ozy on left, Millie on right. Couldn't find anything in the archives that matched this closely. Also, it appears to be bigger than a normal strip, as strip originals normally have a 1" margin of white space (as can be seen <a href='http://www.ozyandmillie.org/originals.html' target='_blank'>here</a> and on the strips below the one shown. About the closest I could find is this: <a href='http://www.ozyandmillie.org/2004/om20040929.html' target='_blank'>September 29, 2004 ("Emily Dickinson")</a>. But there is at least twice the amount of dialouge. My best guess is that the drawing there is a (very) rough draft for an upcoming strip, perhaps part of the current arc. Additionally, all I could see on the prices sign was:  <table border='0' align='center' width='95%' ><tr><td class='quotetop'>Quote: (Sign)</td></tr><tr><td class='quotebody'> OZY and MILLIE* stuff ORIGINALS $75 SKETCHES $?0 BADGES $? BOOKS** $?9*** </td></tr></table>  * This is probably a Trademark(), Copyright(), or Registered Trademark() symbol. ** I think it says books, but it's incredibly blurred. *** I can't tell if there is a digit before the 9, or if that's even a 9 at all. The books are 12.95 each, so it should probably be somewhere in that ballpark (assuming the corresponding word on the left is "BOOKS") I can't figure the rest (it's too small), but the price on the bottom is $5, I'm sure.

Hey, I returned from the fest yesterday as well. I didn't get much sleep while there. I was only planning to stay Saturday, but after I arrived, my plans for Sunday were cancelled. Luckily some people were kind enough to give me a floor spot for the night, even though I didn't sleep much or that well. I had a lot of fun. I had my picture taken with DCS, bought an original, and had a sketch done. I'll post all later when I have more time; I have class shortly and want to catch up on the rest of the topics beforehand.

What is that thing in the back? It looks like a mockup of two "Authentic Banana Dye" covers and two of some other cover on one piece of paper (note the margin).

I managed to talk DCS out of one out of the kindness of his heart.

The book price was $14.00 (I picked up a reprint of the first one). All shall be revealed concerning the comic that you see. Sorry not the Dickinson comic. Basicly D.C.S. and I have been having a little fun.
