Chuck Norris CAN Touch This
Maybe I should have just reused that picture from "Scanners" I put up on Tuesday to sum up today's strip.
First off, Stantis makes MC Hammer jokes.
Secondly, we see liberal/neo-con Winslow's global military strategy: the best offense is a good defense. Seeing as how he's nailing down his checker pieces, it sounds like isolationism to me - something liberals are accused of endorsing. Then again, Bush is going to call for putting National Guards at our Mexican border to keep people out. So who knows what the hell Stantis is trying to say this morning.
JB posed the question yesterday of how Stantis could still tell his stories, keep his characters straight, and still try to keep Carmen from looking like an idiot since she's been carrying Bush's water all this time. My suggestion? Bring in another character. Make it the current mayor that they both hate. I don't care if it's a human or an animal, just make it represent the White House and everything stupid and illegal it's doing. At first Carmen can go along with nearly everything they do, Winslow can point out that it's wrong, and then she can come around when she realizes that the mayor doesn't give a damn about her - it just wants as much money and power as it can get.
Of course, Stantis would choose for the mayor to be played by a donkey - he'd joke because it's a jackass, but we all know it's because he wants to blame the Democratic Donkey for EVERYTHING that's wrong in this country. A country that's been ruled by Republicans for the past 5 years.
Anybody else have ideas how how to make Prickly City better? Other than firing Scott Stantis.
