"International diplomacy," part one.
Originally published Early 1998

This strip, and the one immediately after it, were two of the more overtly political of the very earliest comics. All the elements were there: Millie's cheerfully bossy and manipulative tendencies, Ozy's unperturbed passivity, and of course a broad political comment in childhood microcosm. I never improved on that formula--I don't think the more direct political stuff works quite as well, usually.

I also want to point out this was three years before Bush became president. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
