TODAY'S STRIP

Stantis takes the two-pronged approach to being a dick today.

Prong One: He makes up shit about Global Warming. "Climate models show that global warming is a natural rhythm of the planet." I mean, sure, that may be the case, but that's certainly not the entire story. When President Bush says that "further study" is needed, I pray to my favorite philosopher Christ that he means real, live scientists and not the crazy crackpot pseudo-scientists who are foisting this Intelligent Design poofest on America. I wonder if those "climate models" Stantis references are part of an exhibit in the great new museum in Arkansas which depict dinosaurs frolicking with Adam and Eve in-a-gadda-da-vida, baby. (The dinosaurs were on Noah's Ark too!)

Prong Two: Stantis wants the residents of "most of the blue states" to be frozen to death under a "mile-high glacier." Now that's just not very nose-tweaking-like, Scott. That sounds pretty hateful. For instance, if I were to wish an epidemic of the Hillbilly Flu on the Red States, I'd probably get thrown in jail. Or at the very least someone would trot out the familiar Conservative refrain, "For belonging to the party of tolerance [presumably the Democratic Party], he sure is intolerant."

(For the record, I do NOT hope that all the hillbillies in the Red States get the Hillbilly Flu. Just the ones in Alabama.)

I had a friend who has the Hillbilly Flu. We call him "Poor Mel."

The only cure? More cowbell.

I'm over Stantis. Fuck that guy. Anyone read Ballard street today? I love Ballard street.

You can always counteract Hillbilly Flu with Rockin' Pneumonia!

Go team!

Haven't a clue what Ballard Street is about, but I am wondering why Brenda Starr is celebrating Halloween in August.

Color me confused, but I don't get how acknowledging global warming would bring ice back over the Blue States.

I'm so angry, I actually read Brenda Starr. Damn you Stantis.
