Tuesday, December 22, 1998: "Dear Tommy Hilfiger"

[NonsenseWords]

...go back to Timulty.

[Muninn]

I'd like to point out that Ozy didn't ask "why" in the first panel. Not that that fazed Avery away from explaining. I find this strip to be about one of those childhood moments where you think you've just found out some grand truth or secret method.

[Maggot Brain]

It's only funny because he looks so proud of himself.

[Bocaj Claw]

The hat (turned backwards) would become part of Avery's uniform two years down the line. Here it's an anomaly.

[osprey]

I'm not afraid to say that Avery is cute when proud of himself.

[Tom_Radigan]

I'd like to point out that Ozy didn't ask "why" in the first panel.

And I thought it was because DCS didn't allow enough space for another word balloon.

[Muninn]

He COULD have.

[Rooster]

I got that the "why" was implied by Ozy's expression, that coupled with the fact that Avery is paranoid and just wants to explain himself.

It's very Freudian.

[osprey]

I know when I make a statement in that vein, I always follow it up with a brief description of why.
