Lay Zee Boy
It's the weekend, so that means a single panel with lots and lots of space. Okay, I'm going to stop complaining about that since it's obvious Stantis is never going to put any real effort into the weekend strips. Lazy azz sumbitch.
Anywho, some people might consider today's strip a tribute to others who have told the exact same joke a thousand times before in the world of comics. Me, I say it's because of Scott's laziness. Winslow straps a kite to his back and wants Carmen to fly him. Heh. Or should I say Meh.
I could say that the political subtext is that Democrats - lousy, stupid, stinky Democrats - really want the (here clueless) Republicans to abuse them and assist them in their stupidity. But then that would be assuming that Scotty Boy actually takes time to think about his strips. He doesn't - he just pulls out an ol' chestnut and plugs his characters in there and expects us to laugh.
I know I'm seeing too much into this, but, um, didn't Winslow jump off a three story desert plateau into a kiddie pool last week? Why would he need the little girl to pull his strings? See the above paragrah if you think this was on purpose - me, I'm saying because Scooter doesn't have an original bone in his body.
Or a funny bone.
