He's Aliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiive!

TODAY'S STRIP

ZUFF! PAN! SNUH! POOO! ZAK! Stantis promised a "surprise" this week (in the podcast) and boy-oh-boy has he delivered! Woooooooooo-weeeeee! Take THAT all you people who thought Dio was dead. He's alive! And as cynical as ever. This is one of the greatest "surprises" ever in comic strip history. Thank you, Scott Stantis, for adding a little spice to my Corn Flakes...

Oh, wait. What's that? That's not the surprise? The surprise is that Stantis takes a limp-wristed tweak at the Grand Old Party's nose? Oh. In that case, let me say, "Booooooooooooooooring."

Can it really be a surprise to Stantis that the Republican leadership is a weird amalgam of Neo-Con, Ideologue, Social Conservative, Christian Right, and Freak Show Performer? Hasn't he been paying attention to the evolution of the Republican Party? Oh, that's right. Political Parties don't evolve! They were intelligently designed! By God!

Anyway, as you may have noticed, Shrubville is now WITH GRAPHICS! A big thanks to Monkey Book & Son Designs for the custom-made drawing. A note to Universal Press Syndicate, Scott's liberal producer/lackey Toby, and, god-willing, Scott himself: This is an original sketch of my dog, Libral, with his favorite balloon, Wingnut. Any likeness to anyone in particular is purely coincidental.

I love the comment that the party can't involve because God made it. Golden.

The graphic creation by Monkey Book & Son Designs is fabulous. The high quality appears to be the work of intelligent design, indeed. I couldn't agree more.

The surprise in today's strip is the greatest one in comic strips since we found out Snuffy Smith had had "butt relations with'n his own kin."
