Ozy and Millie

Post by PoikSpirit »

Since it was so graciously offered to me, I think I'll take it. So I'm going to choose something I just read recently, a great little strip (little as in many years old and already finished) called Ozy and Millie.
While I don't agree with the artist on all fronts, I found his point of view refreshingly thought provoking.
Plot: Umm... It's got a few arcs. The plot doesn't develop like a story; it develops more like a hobby. As in, the plot happens here, something more fun happens there. But it is about a new kid in school and the first person to friend him mostly.
Art: Comic book style. It gets better, a lot better. Then at the end the style changes slightly, I didn't quite like the latest look, but the artist is right, it's his art not ours.
Humor: Yes.
Color: Sometimes.
Good time: Quite!
Favorite strips: I remembered these this time! I saved it somewhere on my compy... Here they are. Okay.
So my answer is Yes.
I used to feel like this all the time. Actually, sometimes I still do.
Sorry, I know quite a few people like this. And this. Except I know people who belong to the wrong party according to these sweeping generalizations as well.
I really wish I had another friend interested in learning the ancient art of argument so I could play this game. Does anyone here know some fallacies? That could go in the games section. KotF fuel I guess.
Actually, I believe in this, but I don't believe in the last frame. It's a little more complex than that.
So live well, just for yourself, and stand up for what you believe, even if others think you're strange.
Oh I talk too much. Just read it already.

Comics pretty good. Haven't found a favorite strip yet. I will though.
This is my RP Forum, Tales of Symphonia Adventures, or ToSA for short. Please take a look?

I actually... just read through this not long ago. Well, I'd started reading Ozy and Millie a few years back... Matrix Kirby said I reminded him of Millie in this strip, so I looked into it but never really got caught up. Then around October I decided I wanted to finish reading it, and then I found out it was ending.

Which isn't cool.

Anyway, I love Ozy and Millie. But more than that I just love Millie. Mostly for the Grammar Nazi strip that Poik already cited (I printed it out and have it in my locker)... but also for instances such as this one, this one, and this one. Also, I used this same argument against my mother when she asked me to help her kill off Dandelions before I'd even read Ozy and Millie...

Oh, yeah, and then there's Llewelyn, who is quite possibly the greatest thing to come out of the Fantasy genre since... I think the dawn of time. (coincidentally, that page is the start of the greatest story arc to happen to webcomics since... the dawn of time again.)
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

This is one of those comics that would work really well in an actual newspaper. And, while I can't say I agree with all the artist's views on stuff, it's been amusing so far (I've read like a year and a half worth). I remembered to mark favorite strips this time so... Political campaigning at its best. There's been times I'd love to have done something like this, and this. This one is just amusing. And I totally agree with this one.

Great comic, Poikspirit. It’s cute how it shows real issues from a child’s view, and the strips make a lot of good points, many of which I (and probably a lot of other people) can relate to. Though some of the references are beyond me, I can understand most of it, so it makes for a great and witty satire. I loved reading it, though I haven’t gotten far yet. I may be prompted to browse the entire archives.

I don’t have a specific favorite, but this was a funny Halloween Comic

And I’m sure I did this to my parents on more than one occasion.

Since it's not locked up yet... Awesome comic. The characters personalities are so realistic. My favorite is the one where Ozy breathes fire.
