(Insert Wile E. Coyote Joke)
Winslow chases a bird off a cliff. Seriously, that's today's strip. He doesn't even try to fly - no flapping of the arms, no twitching of the ears - just runs straight off the edge. And it wasn't too long ago that Winslow was screaming, "AWWWW" at a bird because he was afraid it had the flu - now he's actually trying to race after one. I'm not sure what's worse, bad drawings of Howard Dean or non-sensical bird strips. Who am I kidding - they all suck.
What makes things worse is that two weeks ago there wasn't much going on to serve as fodder for this upcoming week. Cheney was still on the front pages as the cover up continued, and we had yet to find out that Bush was willing to put money over security with the UAE port deal. Maybe if we're lucky Stantis was running late and he can actually be a bit more timely and we can discover that somehow Prickly City has access to the ocean.
How bad is it going to be this weekend? I actually listened to another podcast. Toby reveals that he voted for Kerry and Stantis shares his man-love for Karl Rove. Oh and they make fun of how the cleaning lady looks. I'm still not sure why the podcast exists other than for Stantis to say, "Hey, did you listen to my podcast?" If Shrubville had a podcast, unfortunately this weekend we'd be as out of material as Stantis - but no cleaning lady to make fun of. At least the Sunday strip will be funny, right? Right?

Well, the Jimmy Carter and the killer rabbit story turned out to be true, though.
If the strip ends in the future, my guess is that in the last strip, Winslow will finally fly...
