<img src='http://www.ozyandmillie.org/others/om20 ... askdye.gif' border='0' alt='user posted image' /><br><br>That's very true, actually, it is kinda the feeling you get at the end of a Harry Potter book.

[Rooster]

Lord of the Rings > Harry Potter<br><br>But it is a good strip.

[Tom Flapwell]

It's a good joke, I suppose, but hard for me to judge because I can scarcely retain the message at all. It's like the average guy trying to read seven Hallmark cards in a row.<br><br>I certainly didn't think in such abstract terms when I finished HBP. (Hm, Millie speaks of "the end of 'Harry Potter'" when in fact she means the end of the latest book. It's a little soon for anyone to be revealing the <i>real </i>end of HP.)<br><br>I'll give credit to Dye for using more space and verbiage per panel than newspaper comics have gotten to use in decades.

The end end of Harry Potter:<br><br>I predict a bunch of bad stuff will happen and then Harry will rely on his friends or heart or love or whatever and everything will be solved and semi-happily ever after.

[Richard K Niner]

Interesting...

Sorry! Should I have put a spoiler warning? <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... s/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Spoilers don't work on me. And I honestly don't care about Harry Potter.

You take that back! <!--emo&--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... ns/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Ozy doesn't have his whisker hole things! For shame!

I noted, after finishing book 6, that I did feel kinda hollow at the end, as if there was something a bit unsatisfactory about it. Ozy's comments in the first panel fit that well. I got something similar about book 5. I guess it's a problem when you're reading books that are defininitely part of a finite series. I didn't get it at all with books 1 or 2 (probably because I got in on the whole HP thing after book 3 came out, so I read 1, 2 and 3 in very rapid succession - actually reading 1 and 2 on the same day), I got it a bit with 3 and a bit more with 4. It's kind of slowly been growing on me with each book, I guess.

Harry Potter blows. I don't get this strip at all. What a waste of a day <!--emo&:P--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' /><!--endemo-->

The fact is that the joke is that it you would have no clue it was a spoiler anyways. *l*<br><br>BTW, who is the person that wrote this. I know a Clovis Dye who writes comics, I wonder if their related. That obviously isn't Clovis' form of humor though. He's more likely to use a visual gag, or slapstick type non-sequiter, than a subtile non-sequiter like that one.<br><br>That's like reading the last page of Catcher in the Rye would not ruin the book.

It just shows how easily people get sucked into those books. It's a funny strip if you like Harry Potter or if you want to see him die in a gruesome way. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... iggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I enjoy the books but not rabidly. Theres much better magic stories out there and much better "school" stories. The fact that I can't name one off the top of my head is due to laziness though. Really!<br><br>Anyways, the quality of the newest book is down compared to the others. Like Rowling got lazy or something mid-way through.
