I Said Ha HA
The Hurricane Katrina storyline ends with Stantis tackling the blame game, asking if anyone ever wins. At least Scotty draws both sides playing the game, showing yet another subtle shift to the middle on his part.
My question: how is this strip funny? Are we supposed to laugh at Winslow and Carmen hitting each other with tennis rackets (even though I don't remember them ever playing tennis before)? Or is this supposed to be a "very special episode of Prickly City" like the ones asking for help for the victims of the storm?
That's probably my biggest complaint against Stantis. I wouldn't have a problem with the guy - heck, I might even like his work - if he was just FUNNY. Is that so much to ask from a guy who writes a COMIC strip?
