Don't Forget The Bow Tie
What the heck am I supposed to do with this crap? Winslow uses staples to tie his bow tie. Hardy har...huh? It's the weekend - I was hoping that Winslow would have bought one of those battery-operated bow ties that spins in order to use it as a way to try and fly. No such luck - just lots of talk of band aids.
Since CJo and Sacki were lucky enough to get Josef Stalin to work with, it got me to thinking: who would have been a funnier choice that actually, you know, wore bow ties? Here are some suggestions:
Senator Paul Simon. My Senator from Illinois for many years, he was a great man that spoke verrrry sloooowly. While most will remember him for his bow tie, I'll always think of those gigantic ears of his. If Stantis had gone in this direction he could have made plenty of jokes about how Democrat Simon failed time and time again when running for President, but then he'd have to admit that Simon's protege', Barak Obama, has a really good chance to winning it all.
Al Franken as Senator Paul Simon. I'm surprised Stantis hasn't done more with Franken. Granted this is the only time Franken wears a bow tie, but still - the guy's a progressive, which means Stantis should want to take every opportunity to draw him as a fat slob even if he's not.
Louis Farrakhan. 'nuff said.
This guy from The Apprentice. I have no clue who he is since I never watched the show, but I guess he's running for Congress as a Republican. And let's face it - he TOTALLY looks like a guy that Carmen would crush on. As for the rest of us, is it just me or does looking at him on that website make you want to punch him in the bow tie?
In any event, there had to be somebody better than Josef Stalin to propel this week of silly strips all week long. At least Winslow finally got the bow tie to work - not let's just see if Stantis can staple some pants on the boy...
Comments
If you listened to the latest podcast, Stantis mentioned that the next week of "Prickly City" is a big "surprise", as it was based on a news event that happened the day he made that podcast (which I believe is Thursday). Apparently, he changed what he had planned next week for this one.
So...what do you think the next week's worth of strip will be?
My guess is it's the fact that more Americans knows the "Simpsons" than the first amendment.
