I just love Millie's face in the first panel. And I'm not going to say that DCS has 'improved'. That would imply his work wasn't good before. <!--emo&:P--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' /><!--endemo--> <br><br>but his work is very VERY awesome, so I'm kind of in a bind as to what I should say. XD<br><br>I love the anti bush thing goin here. Saving the bubbles by popping them all is symbolic of a certain...something...

Haha, exactly! Just subtle enough to not be outright, but oh so funny for all of us who hate our dear president.<br><br>Except for those of you not from the USA, who are extremely lucky to not have... him... running your country.

In continuation of what Ghost said, I would like to point out that at no point did I mean any disrespect by citing said "improvement." I condier it a compliment to have improved, and I'd just like to state for the record that I've always thought his art was great, and I greatly enjoy watching its evolution.<br><br><!--emo&:D--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... iggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

"Watching its evolution," eh?<br><br>That reminds me of an idea I had. Looks like I have a new project after the OaMNRI is done.

OaMNRI? What is that, pray tell? <br><br>And, heh, yes, evolution, for lack of a better word.

What they might have meant by improvement is that the art/comic was good already, but it's gotten better.

The art from then and now are so good, it's hard to say which is cuter, but the newer material does show better technical skill, and a bit more sophistication. Millie has always been a good source for great expressions, and these present strips are no exception.<br><br>Also, it's nice to have a storyline focused on Millie after spending so much time around Ozy and the discovery of his mother. I would like to note that the bathtub has proven to be the focal point for her biggest running gags too.
