If It Was Jello He Would Have Just Bounced Off
Art means different things to different people. For example, Winslow excuses his pouncing on Carmen's bottomless pudding cup and spreading its chocolate-y goodness all over the place (much to Carmen's chagrine) to be worthy of the Louvre. And personally, I have to agree with him. Just like that bird up above - not only is that art, it's damn funny to boot.
Yeah, I know this is supposed to be Stantis taking another dig at the National Endowment for the Arts (or is it OF the Arts?). But who cares? Carmen covered in a brown, liquidy substance is kinda funny. Granted there's more pudding in that cup than in that barrel-sized jug you can buy at Sam's Club, but still - it's chuckle-worthy.
However I fear for the people whose newspapers cut off that first panel. If they don't get Carmen's expository dialogue at the beginning people might think a rabid, feral Winslow finally snapped and pounded the poor neo-con into a bloody pulp. Ah, it's fun to dream...
Oh, and for those of you worried about Stantis's's artistic abilities, at least a few of today's panels look like he spent some time connecting the dots. But that one with Winslow attacking - can someone explain to him that there are better ways to draw action than to scribble all over the place? Poor Carmen doesn't even look human.
Finally, I'd like to take a moment to observe the passing of "Arrested Development." You guys made me laugh more in one minute than Stantis has in my entire time contributing at The Shrub. And that's not a joke. To Michael, George Michael, Gob, Buster, Bob Loblaw, Hello, and all the rest - THANK YOU.
RIP - Arrested Development
