Confused Much?
Sometimes when I read PC first thing in the morning it feels like my head is going to explode. Stantis hates technology. So Winslow has an all-nude podcast, which is pandering. And Stantis has his own podcast (no word if he's nude or not - and boy did that shoot a chill through my spine even suggesting it). So...technology isn't so scary when Stantis does it. Is your brain ready to burst too?
Because of that I was going to ignore this week's podcast, but I'm glad I didn't. It's a real eye-opener, and for the first time ever I would suggest listening to it. In it you'll get to hear the following, including a few bombshells:
- Winslow is goofy and a doofus. He's sometimes a liberal, but it depends on the "prevailing winds." Keep that in mind for later revelations.
- Fox News and Air America are basically the same, just on opposite sides. That's right - the "fair and balanced" NEWS network and the openly progressive radio network should be compared to each other.
- Toby busts Stantis in one of those "I can't believe he just said that" comments. He calls Stantis out on one of his worst habits: whenever liberals are doing something goofy, Winslow embraces it. And whenever the conservatives do something goofy - WINSLOW embraces it. Yes! Toby has a brain of his own! Stantis tap dances around the issue, saying that Carmen - I guess because she's just like him - is so closed off that she's always right and the goofy doofus Winslow is the one who should be made to look like a fool. Stantis then goes on to say that it's a comic strip, so it doesn't have to make any sense. Despite him admitting it's a political comic strip his characters don't have to maintain their political affiliations. Especially when HIS conservatives do something stupid. This leads to Stantis making an amazing confession...
- Stantis admits he's confused about his characters. That's right - he actually says that he's confused. But hey - he's only been doing the strip for a YEAR AND A HALF, so cut him some slack.
Again, if there's one all-nude podcast you should listen to this weekend, this is it. Mind you, here's a guy who admits he doesn't even know his characters and can't keep them straight in his own mind - and then goes on to say that Prickly City will now be carried in Houston and possibly Dallas in the future. One of the worst comic strips EVER is in the two biggest cities in Texas - why? Because he's a conservative. What's going to happen if the Republican bums are run out of office over the next few years? I hope Stantis has a savings plan, because he's going to be joining Mike "Heckuva Job" Brownie in the unemployment line.
Now I'll turn it over to our readers: any ideas about this week's storyline? I'm leaning towards the censure issue, but I'm not sure if Stantis wants to give that the attention it deserves. Fill up the comments section with your thoughts.

My guess with the next week's storyline is that it will be part 2 of the Reagan storyline, or the immigration one.

Nice job on the podcast deconstruction. Your description is way more entertaining than I can imagine actually listening to the podcast would be.

My guess is that this week's strips will be some sort of April Fool's tie-in.
