Up Up and Away
To sum up today's drawerings, we learn that coyotes, although well-traveled, don't know exactly where things are in the world. Like France. So Carmen has to explain to him that France is a little bit like Belgium, except only bigger, has croissants instead of waffles, and there are fewer Walloons and Flemings there, but more Alsatians and Basques. How she came up with all this information, I'm not quite sure, but I suppose it has to do with her compulsion to study the things she hates more than those she supposedly loves. (If it's any consolation, I don't begin to understand her.)
Once again, it's all the fault of the Democrats. They and their teachers' unions and welfare state policies and politics don't allow a young child to learn about the full width and breadth of things they both love AND hate, just one or the other. "Women's Studies" for example...It doesn't take that long to learn how to use a stove, and yet there are people graduating with degrees in such fields...

Today is one of the worst written comic strips ever. And that's being nice.

We're missing the point of Prickly City. We're all looking at it like it's supposed to be a straight comic strip, with clearly differentiated characters who have a political point of view working through life - the way that the characters in Candorville or Doonesbury do.
Instead, this is Dada. It's not supposed to be funny, just crazy and surreal. And if you look at today's strip - or any strip - that way, it's perfect.
I can't wait until two weeks from now, when Stantis turns his surrealist eye to the bumbling lawyers at the TSA.
