Goodness Gracious Great Gobs of Gall
As usual, the Furnace nails it.
On Sunday he asked, "So what might be up this week at PC?"
And he answered: "...look for Stantis to get a lot of mileage out of Hillary's plantation comments and Nagin's wanting New Orleans to be a chocolate city."
Bam and Bam.
However, my big question about today's strip is...
WHERE'S THE DUCK FROM YESTERDAY?!
I thought for sure Stantis was introducing another character to join this distinguished group of supporting players:
Hollywood, the vomiting-drunk pedophiliac,
Dio, the philosopher lizard,
Shelly, the humpable turtle,
Twisty, the Dust Devil,
Kevin, Lost Bunny of the Apocalypse
and Linda, Lost Cactus Wren of the Apocalypse.
Only time will tell if Meringuey the Duck will ever make another appearance.
I suppose a few words are in order about Stantis and Co. getting their Peggy-Noonans* in a twist over Hillary Clinton's plantation remark. I'll just leave it up to you to peruse this collection of links in which some right-leaning publications and pundits referenced the "Democratic plantation."

* Another word for granny panties.
Comments
If he were to one day have an "Abbott and Costello Meet Carmen and Winslow" would that be introducing characters or just a quick one off? With it being understood that either way would be a cheap ripoff, of course.

Stantis has so much trouble keeping the personalities of his two main characters straight I can't imagine him trying to juggle three or more. Maybe that's why the birds and the turtles were mutes.

“I clearly fascinate them,” Gingrich said of the Democrats. “I’m much more intense, much more persistent, much more willing to take risks to get it done. Since they think it is their job to run the plantation, it shocks them that I’m actually willing to lead the slave rebellion.” [Washington Post, 10/20/94]

I'm stickin to my theory that Shelly and Dio ran off to Vegas when she turned out to be a real republican. As for Meringuey...went the way of Kevin numero uno? With orange sauce?
