...For Me To Poop On
To be honest, I don't read the Prickly City on a daily basis. I haven't looked at it in about...7 days. I do, however, read the Shrubville on a daily basis. Seems that there's an 'artistic' bent to the panels this week, from what my sources tell me, featuring fanciful pranciful coyotes. Yet that still hasn't prepared me for what I'm looking at today.
Listen, if I wanted to read a comic with a story line, I'd be over at Mary Worth. I just want a larf. Don't make me turn to Love Is....

I'll be honest...I laughed at today's strip.
Speaking of artistic, I noticed that when Greg Cravens took over the art duty for Scott Stantis' "The Buckets", it actually improved (not much, but better than before). Maybe Stantis should hire Greg for the art in "Prickly City" (today's isn't so bad, though, IMO).

Seriously, though, why are their legs sticking straight up? Whose legs are those, anyway?

I think the legs are supposed to belong to some unlucky beast killed by the coyotes.

Some sort of desert goat? A large javelina? The art, like in his editorial cartoons, isn't bad. My critique about the art in PC, like the character development, is inconsistency. The look of other strips' characters evolves over time, but is generally the same day-to-day. But in PC...one day can look pretty good, while the next day it looks like it was scribbled after chugging a 40oz Pabst.

Stantis always drew canines with legs sticking out like that. Look at Dogzilla, the dog that never dies (according to Toby*) in "The Buckets".
* - Scott's lackey, not Toby Buckets in the strip.

To be honest, I don't read Shrubville on a daily basis, hence the untimeliness of this reply.
Spare yourself the pain of Love Is, AJ, and turn instead to Love Isn't.
