Just Like Pagliacci Did
If I did not know better (and it is no certainty that I do, in fact, know better), if I had just come to this strip today without any background information on the characters of Prickly City, I would think that Winslow is a female. Due to some cosmic karmic quirk, it turns out that I do find myself having a knowledge of these animated characters and their daily activities - with the assistance of the extensive notes and rumors here at Shrubville, of course. (Thanks to the rumor bin on January 12, 2005, we now know that it is almost certain that an apt anagram for Scott Stantis is "scat snot tits" and that The Prickly City is merely "cry hick pettily" rearranged, words that truly make sense if you have continued your education past 7th grade, which unfortunately I did not, so that those words make no sense at all to me and that is why I am reading comics, because the pictures are neato.)
However, if I did not have that information available to me, and was not aware that Winslow is a coyote pup of the male variety while I was reading this week's series over a steaming hot cup of Costa Rican coffee - presumably out of a cup large enough to hold 4 days' worth of coffee, as here we are on the 4th day of this storyline and apparently I've had only one cup, not to mention the fact that it's still steaming, so it seems that this magical cup can maintain heat for extended periods, also (note to self: dispose of all other cups)-if not for that fact, I would certainly think that Winslow is a bitch.
All of this should come as no surprise to longtime P.C. readers, however. It was earlier this year in one of his rare appearances that Dio, in a speech to Carmen, prophesied this precise event.("Before you shall cry twice, he will laugh at you thrice.") And when she thought thereupon, she wept. For the second time, obviously.

Did you know an anagram for "Sacki is a Clown" is "Lacks Sac I Wino"? brilliant.

I guess Sacki DOES need a magical cup if he lacks sac.
