Cosmic Retribution

Hehee! It appears Ms. Mudd was a lot like Millie in her youth. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... iggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--><br><br>The next installment in the story is eagerly awaited. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--><br>

Personally, I believe that he did it to keep from having to start the story of Ozy's parents on Friday, then make us have to wait a whole weekend to start hearing the rest. A good idea, in my opinion.

You see? relax, it's not everyone*. Just me <!--emo&:P--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' /><!--endemo-->. Because I'm weird.<br><br>and besides, I was only joking... If I weren't I woulda gone with "almost-cheap" instead of "expensive".<br><br><br><br>...You'll have to forgive me. It's just so common a manuver in comic writings that I just assumed.<br><br>...sorry. <!--emo&:unsure:--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... unsure.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='unsure.gif' /><!--endemo--> <br><br><br><br>(...why does this sort of thing always happen to me?)<br><br><br><br>(*Yes, I thought of the fact that there would be people who assumed the same that don't reside here. But they don't count. Not many people do on a regular basis. 1,2,3,4,5...)<br><br><br><br>Edit: after thinking about this for a while, it occured to me that jokes and apologies might not go well together... So, yeah, I apologize if my above apology hurt more than helped. I didn't mean to offend you or anything.

Good Strip... I love how Millie and Mrs. Mudd done!<br><br>I have a feeling that this sequence has been planed for awhile myself. Thou it is just a guess

I always loved the "Calvin and Hobbes" stories that took three weeks worth of strips. When I try to write a story like that, I have trouble stretching it out over <i>two</i>. It's a matter of coming up with enough punch lines related to the plot. That's part of why I envy people who write for TV -- they don't have to make a joke every X panels like we do.<br><br>("We"?

I technically agree with Holyman. That's awesome Octan. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--><br>

[Muninn]

That's a good find, i'd forgotten all about that particular strip.

[Zaaphod]

D'oh. I'd forgotten about that one too. Nice catch. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... iggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--><br>

[Softpaw]

How can y'all forget about an O&M strip?

[GhostWay]

Easily. I've only allocated a certain amount of brain space (BS) for comic strips. When that BS gets filled, I have to reformat that partition in order to make room for new strips.

[Tavis]

I like the way these build up at the rate they do. It helps provide suspense, and allow the readers to look for the details that make the journey as fulfilling as the destination.<br><br>Certainly a life-changing experience for Ozy deserves a full story arc, especially considering the amount of time that was spent letting Millie discover her roots. Now whether something will emerge from the discovery or not will ultimately depend on what we and Ozy learn when the truth is finally revealed.
