I Wore a Drunk's Red Nose for Applause
Isn't that special. Pat Robertson pays a visit to Prickly City to heckle Winslow about all the sodomy that's been committed on the coyote's ass.
But alas, Robertson is off-panel so we don't get the opportunity to see how Stantis would've depicted him. Had Robertson been a true enemy of the state, believe-you-me, he'd be the subject of a Stantis Scribble Job.
But only the objects of Scott's vicious, bitchy scorn get that treatment. Like Dean yesterday (whom Stantis has admitted he hates [his words] on his podcast) drawn to look like everybody's favorite bulbous-nosed drunk. No, not Teddy Kennedy. W.C. Fields. Or how about the time he drew everybody's SECOND favorite bulbous-nosed drunk -- yes NOW Teddy Kennedy -- making him look like a combination of a Jeff MacNelly character and the Creature from the Black Lagoon (Chappaquiddick! Get it?) And who could ever forget that magical day when Stantis scored the hat trick: three people he hates in one day! Michael Moore got an anti-U.S. baseball cap and 100 extra pounds! Dan Rather got the Howard Dean nose and 50 extra pounds! And Whoopi Goldberg got extra black and...25 extra pounds!
Surprisingly, Hillary Clinton has only gotten the off-panel treatment so far, when she pushed and shoved her way (get it? she's power hungry!) to the front of the Prickly City Democratic National Committee. But I imagine Stantis is hard at work on the perfect Hillary sketch to unveil when we get closer to 2008 (assuming Prickly City hasn't gotten the axe by then).
If you're looking for any ideas for Hillary, Scott, might I suggest you try...say...adding 50 pounds and a bulbous drunk's nose?
***********************
By the way, is yesterday all Stantis has to say about Abramoff? Arguing with Dean about the semantics of whether Abramoff gave money directly to any Democrats (he didn't) instead of his clients giving money to the Democrats (they did). THAT is what upsets him and inspires his Sharpie? End of Story? Move on.org to something else? Give a little limp-wristed jab at Pat Robertson today? Maybe make Winslow try to fly over the weekend?
Well, of course.
Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown. I mean: It's Stantis.
Comments
Today's strip would have made more sense if rump rash actually kills the person infected, since Robertson's the holy man that's been running around calling for the assassination of democratically elected "dictators."
