28 days... six hours... 42 minutes... 12 seconds. That... is when the world... will end
I imagine you're wondering "Who IS that handsome devil?" That's the author of Prickly City, of course. This man not only knows how to question the morals of others, but is also the foremost expert on fashion, if you couldn't tell. Nothing says style like a look modeled upon a minor incestuous character in a Faulkner story. At least the photographer was kind enough to smear a jar of Crisco on the lens to soften it up a bit.
He also happens to be the man who wonders in today's strip (thoughtfully linked above) where society is headed. It's rather simple, stupid: forward, onward, always twirling...twirling. The horrors of thongs for children, cell phones, low-rise pants and reality tv. I say, I can imagine this fellow back in the 1850s (for which he is apparently longing as evidenced by his style of dress) busting off a switch and whuppin' his lads for using that most horrible invention, toilet paper, instead of the old Sears catalog with it's drawerings of proper ladys in petticoats carrying parasols.
And for what it's worth, Kevin the Lost Bunny of the Apocolypse peaked in Donnie Darko. Maybe I'm wrong, though.
Comments
Kevin sums up everything that's so wrong with PC. Where does Stantis expect this character to go? What's his motivation? Kevin seems to be another middle of the road character (like Dio was - I guess - I never really understood the lizard either). What's the point? He'll spend the week talking about how things suck, and when the world doesn't end by Saturday Kevin will join Dio in the World Of Forgotten Characters along with that turtle Winslow was banging.
Odds are Stantis bought a new book called, "You Too Can Draw a Crappy-Looking Bunny In Twelve Easy Steps" and had to justify the write-off in his taxes.

And we have reached a new low. Thank you Tucker...er... Scott.

I'm guessing that Scott Stantis reads liberal elite fashion magazines, so he knows that high waisted pants are coming back into fashion. This means that the apocalypse will not happen, and Kevin will be forced to consort with other discredited eco-types like Michael Moore and Ted Kennedy.

Flippin' CLINTONS are still getting elected? It's been a while since Hillary was elected, and to my knowledge nothing much has happened since then. And cell phones? They've been around for a long time. So why hasn't the end of the world happened yet? I'm waaaiiiting....

is the big joke at the end of the week going to be that the "bunny" is really carmen in her halloween costume? the ugly evil sneer in the 3rd frame sure does look like her.

I would like to add "Prickly City is syndicated nationwide" to panel 3 as further proof of the end times.
