Sour
Well unfortunately I called it on Sunday - Stantis spends today going after Ray Nagin's Chocolate City comments. Which is a shame, since I was having fun last night trying to come up with irrelevant Republicans who might run against Tom Daschle (Dan Quayle topped the list).
As for today's strip, Winslow calls for Prickly City to be a "yellow-ish, lemon meringue" color once again, I guess since that's the color Winslow is supposed to be. Which means that if you don't read PC on the weekends when it's in color then you have no idea what the heck he's talking about. Especially since no coyote I've ever seen is yellow.
UPDATE: Word is some coyotes ARE yellow. Strange but true.
Maybe Prickly City was where all of the Chinese brought in to build the railroads decided to settle down.
Oh, and there's a bird watching Winslow give his speech since he needed an audience. Maybe CJo can fill us in, although I wouldn't doubt that this will lead to a future storyline where we find out Winslow is having an affair with the bird and gets impeached. Meanwhile, Carmen is lying us into war and illegally spying on us and gets a free pass.
So instead of commenting on what Bush might say in his "State of the - my State of the Union - or state - my speech to the nation, whatever you want to call it, speech to the nation," expect Hillary's plantation comments to dominate the rest of the week. And much like today's strip, millions of readers will say, "Huh? Oh yeah, I remember reading something about that a few weeks ago. Who cares? Did you see Bush declare himself dictator last night? Now THAT'S topical."
Comments
I'll attribute the confusion surrounding today's strip to the subtlety with which Stantis deftly wields his mighty pen, and chalk it up as a sly tribute to Chinese New Year. Gung hay fat choy, indeed.

Carmen has a Cthulu thing going on with her mouth in this strip. Rr'lyah!

Stantis is about as subtle as a coyote peeing on a catcus. (Has he used that in a strip yet?)
