This guy is so stale.
How stale is he??
This guy is so stale he has more leftover jokes than the MCL Cafeteria has warmed-over quail on Game Bird Night.
A mere 16 days after the Whittington Incident, Cheney finds his way into Prickly City.
Let's review the timeline:
February 11 -- Cheney shoots man
February 14 -- Scott whips up a relevant and somewhat biting political cartoon and shoots it off to the USA Today
February 20 -- The Boondocks starts a week of Cheney blasting
February 27 -- Winslow ducks-n-covers
I could understand Prickly City's deadline being so far in advance if the art was so detailed that Scott needed two weeks to ink each piece, or if the strips were so intricately plotted that he couldn't interrupt an ongoing storyline. But we all know that ain't the case.
So instead we get 'humor' that is mostly cold, tastes funny, and induces retching.
Comments
You know, the liberal elite mainstream media just can't let the Cheney thing go. The rest of America has moved on to celebrating all of the accomplishments of the Bush administration! Why can't a pinko like Stantis?

Is it just me, or does Stantis seem confused about what he's even doing with the comic anymore? Before he seemed to try to integrate current events into the strip, and maybe have the characters play out what was happening. Now it's just commentary, and when it happens two weeks after the fact nobody cares anymore.

More ink was used for credits and copyrights than art. Avant Stantis!
