Consternation! - 26 Nov 2003

<a href='http://www.ozyandmillie.org/2003/om20031126.html' target='_blank'>Consternation!</a><br><br>It is rather surprising how much Isolde has changed over time until you consider how much the entire strip has changed. Isolde's first appearance comes so shortly after the new drawing style that such progression seemed natural. After all, just about every character had suddenly grown "taller, thinner, and...somewhat cooler" as the strips kept coming. The size differences become rather striking (as Isolde's tail can be at times) as she later appears almost twice as large as Ozy and Millie.

I never remembered she was ever that short.

Mr. Simpson says this is the first time Isolde's appeared but isn't she there in the background in <a href='http://www.ozyandmillie.org/2000/om20000624.html' target='_blank'>this strip</a>. Though i suppose that's stretching it a bit since she isn't clearlly visible there.

Heh, Ozy always assumes drugs when a dragon surprizes him.

I'd never done a side-by-side comparison of the original Isolde vs. newer appearances, and that's a pretty significant change.

Somebody should go through the archives and find out when Isolde has apeard and make a timeline.<br><br>Just not me though.

[Burning Sheep Productions]

What's the point of that?

[Zaaphod]

If nothing else it's a good excuse to go thru the archives again.

[Burning Sheep Productions]

I suppose.<br>I'll get round to it later, there's gonna be a storm soon.

[Zaaphod]

Ack, storms, we hates them.<br><br>Well, here's hoping it doesn't hurt anyone.

[norsenerd]

I love storms. Hehe.

[Burning Sheep Productions]

Okay, if I'm gonna do a timeline I may as well do it for the whole thing.<br>Just the important strips, and ones with never-to-forget phrases/scenes.

[penguinita]

the *entire* timeline? your taking on a big task there! best of luck, and if you don't complete it, you should still post the partially compleated hting, that way some other entriprizing soul can finish it. (or atleast work more on it)

[Zaaphod]

I can't remember where I found it, but someone had done an Ozy & Millie database. He made it to keep track of which characters were in each strip. Quite an undertaking.<br><br>Anyone know about it?

[Burning Sheep Productions]

It's not that hard, just go through the strips with Irfan View and put down a spot in Notepad if you see a significant thing.
