Variations and Fugue on a Theme by Stantis, Op. 24
Oh, just look at the complex melodies the Great Stantis weaves:
Monday: Learning to Fly blah blah blah Big Government Conservatives
Tuesday: Big Government Conservatives blah blah blah Topsy Turvy
Wednesday: Topsy Turvy blah blah blah Republicans Are Spending like Teddy Kennedy
Thursday: Teddy Kennedy blah blah blah Fucked a Monkey and a Cocktail Waitress
Friday: Chappaquiddick blah blah blah Republicans May Be Spending Money But at Least They Aren't Dumb Liberals
Saturday: Learning to Fly blah blah blah But I Ain't Got Wings
One day's catchphrase becomes the next day's main theme, which then becomes the next day's contrapuntal melody, which, by the end of the week, has evolved into a glorious, intricate masterpiece for the ages.
Clip the strips. Paste them in your scrapbook. Bury it in the yard. The world 200 years from now will be amazed.
Comments
to further carry on the great weave, in the tradition of civil war brides and their quilts, i believe op.(us') pal bill the cat would say "ack" to this strip.

Contrapuntal? Excellent. Thanks for the vocabulary lesson for the day.
As for Stantis, spending like drunken democrats? C'mon, we liberals spend with great sobriety in response to pressing societal issues. I believe it's when you're drunk that you buy the drinks for all your buddies in the bar...read Haliburton, etc.

Will the papers that carry "Prickly City" ever wake up and see just how lazy the guy is? Do the people who select the funnies ever ready the funny pages? Otherwise, why else would "Prickly City" and "The Lockhorns" get published?
