Park Your Keister, Mister
Today's PC is extremely controversial. Personally, I say after putting up porno links and putting words in Teddy Kennedy's mouth, this could be the one that gets Stantis the most hate mail, as well as the most mail praising his stance.
But I'm not going to focus on that. At least not yet.
Over the weekend I took Stantis to task for trying to draw manga but not having a clue how to do it. But that's okay - at least our little Scooter was trying to spread his wings. But today he commits what I consider an unforgivable offense, because it's something any four year old can do.
Look at the last panel. What's the last word Winslow says?
It's the "punchline" of his side of the joke. It's the crux of the entire strip, the one that could launch Scott Stantis into the world of neo-con god.
When I first read it, I almost reached for a dictionary to look up what a "SOUIS" was.
THE GUY CAN'T EVEN WRITE THE LETTER L.
Maybe I have a small monitor, or the graphics are bad. But honestly, how many of you reading today's strip knew what that word was when you first read it? If I'm the only one, I'll happily retract this commentary and apologize for it (something we all know Stantis would never do). But I stand by my belief that Stantis can't even make letters that are readable. Not the first time he's done this, and I'm sure it's not the last.

As for the strip itself, Winslow says that Carmen and her ilk on the right can't mourn Rosa Parks since they opposed everything she stood for when she sat on that bus. But Carmen acts as though the last 150 years never happened, defying Winslow and the Liberals that stood by Parks and didn't use her as a political photo op after her death. It's then that Winslow points out that neo-cons don't have "souis," and Carmen turns things on their head, accusing Winslow of bigotry due to his intolerance of hypocrites. Er, I mean, "conservatives."
Carmen can act as high and mighty as she likes, and conservatives can try to rewrite history, but we all know where the conservatives have stood on civil rights in the past. Many of them, if given the chance, would have had separate buses for Rosa Parks "and her kind."
Oh, I'm sorry, according to our own President - who supposedly respected her so much - that's not even her name. From the Rosa Parks Memorial, George W. Bush:
"She will always have a special place in American history, and our nation thinks of Rosa Park and her loved ones today."
I wish that were a joke. It would be funnier than what Stantis scribbles every day.
Comments
I want to know when Stantis writes about Carmen throwing away her Addy Walker doll to protest American Girl's support of Girls Inc. Because we know that unless we shun anyone who expresses any support for gays or abortion, the EVIL LIBERALS WILL TAKE OVER THE WORLD AND SPREAD THEIR MESSAGE OF PEACE AND PROSPERITY!
Oh, wait, Carmen wouldn't want studious freed slave Addy. She's want pretty blonde Kirsten Larson, because that's the American Girl who looks most like Ann Coulter. Also, Kirsten's family throws the heathen Indians off "their" land, and that's a fine upstanding conservative American value.
