Millie enlists
Originally published 18 May 2001

Little girls, in my experience, have this thing about ponies.

Of course, there are a few problems with the plot point here that involves Millie having the traditional little-girl pony fixation. For one thing, I'm fairly sure it's the only time it's come up, so it can't exactly be front and center in her consciousness.

And for another, all animals--at least all vertebrates, though I've been inconsistent about birds--seem to be sentient bipeds, in the O&M universe. So the pony thing is a bit weird and confusing.

But for the purposes of this storyline, she apparently finds the idea of getting a pony very appealing. I dunno. Whatever.
