Out Of Ideas
Much like Stantis, I'm going to rehash a line I used the other day: what do you get when you take a reference to someone who hasn't been in the public eye for months and combine it with a trend that hasn't been popular since last year? That's right, today's Prickly City. A Paris Hilton joke? About decorating your cell phone? Dude, it's 2006. Stop living in the past.
Instead of reading this, I think people should be watching President Bush pull his own Khrushchev right now during his press conference. He's pounding the podium, swinging his arms around, raising his voice, and completely losing his cool. This guy's our president? He's acting like a man fighting with his wife over finances, not how to lead the free world. Maybe Stantis will talk about this...in two weeks.
Comments
While I generally disagree over your quibble with the timeliness of the comic strip, even I must admit that combining Hilton with cellphones is stale. (How stale is it?) To use a ONE-MONTH OLD joke, more stale than the leftover Zingers at the 'expired' Dolly Madison store.

I mentioned this in the previous entry, but I'll say it anyway.
Anyone checked the guest strip for "Big Top" Stantis drew?

I'm still surprised no one has 'shopped that banner to read something like "Mission Accompliced."
I surprise easily.
