A Legal Alien

TODAY'S STRIP

Wow. A Gordy Sumner reference. I must say: I'm surprised. If anything, I pegged Stantis as more a Wings man than a Sting guy. He just seems more suited to warmed-over, pseudo-profound, fakely melodic, 70's claptrap rather than ice-cold, pseudo-profound, barely melodic, 80's claptrap.

Doesn't it seem odd that Stantis is always dropping iPod references too? It's almost as though he's sold out (just like Sting!) and is getting gobs of money from Apple to promote their products (just like Sting and Jaguar!). Speaking of, have you seen that Sting commercial a couple years back when he's sitting in the back of a chauffeur-driven Jaguar, the soft crap of his latest solo album oozing out the speakers, contemplating his life as a pampered, rich, boring son-of-a-bitch?

I'm trying to imagine the Stantis version...

...Sitting in the passenger seat of his Toyota Corolla...High on marker fumes; unable to drive...Snapping his fingers to Sting on the radio ("free, free; set them free")...Hallucinating about blue turtles...STRIP IDEA!..."To the drawing board, woman!" he exclaims, not realizing he's sitting alone in the car in his garage...

Hours later he stumbles inside the house, trips over Toby who is passed-out on the kitchen floor, and sits down to work for a good 5-10 minutes. After a fax to the syndicate, he retires to the family room to watch 8-10 hours of Fox News.

I've heard he can go for 16 hours watching Fox News while he's doing it tantric style.
