The return of the prodigal Ozy.
Originally published 26 January 1999

This was a part of a storyline that was semiautobiographical. Everybody knows what it's like to feel unintentionally left out of something by a friend. Millie, with Llewellyn's help, coped with Ozy's having gone to the beach with Avery.

Llewellyn achieved this by drafting Millie into a game of House Rules Parcheesi. This sport is distinct from "Calvinball" in that Calvinball has absolutely no rules. "House Rules Parcheesi," as we've seen on several occasions, has rules, it would just be a massive waste of time to try and figure it out.

This was one of the first times we really saw that the dragon is full of unorthodox solutions.
