Don't Cry for Me, Prickly City
Stantis chooses to go out with a whimper instead of a bang in this week's Prickly City. Channeling the dramedy of such classics as "Doogie Howser, MD." and "Hooperman," Scott leaves us with a tear in our eye instead of a belly laugh (not that he's ever left us with a laugh before, but you know what I mean).
In response to Winslow calling her "porky" yesterday, Carmen yells back the whole "sticks and stones" thing. Then after standing around, she sheds a tear - because, you know, words really can hurt.
At least I think it's a tear - the way Stantis draws, it looks like she's got a second set of lips.
But I wonder if this means Stantis has finally realized that every time he calls a political opponent a name that it could really hurt their feelings. Does this mean he'll never call Michael Moore fat again? Or Howard Dean crazy? Of course not. But it's fun to dream.
Oh and today's strip never directly reference's this week's storyline, so look for Scooter to reuse it again in the future when he can't come up with anything else for the day. At least it'll be easier to use than eminent domain "jokes."

Maybe we can hope that her sadness turns tragic and she kills herself? We can pray, can't we?

With all her running across the desertscape and jump roping you'd think she'd be fit as a coyote.
