Slam-Dunk Document
Maybe those fellas from Athens, GA were on to something after all. It's the End of the World as We Know It: check. Welcome to the Occupation: check. Exhuming McCarthy: check.
Those crackers from GA were all over this in 1.9.8.7. Amazing. Whereas this cracker from AL is trying his best to scribble along with the times, furiously trying to catch up to 2003, having spent the last three years on automatic (for the conservative people), concentrating on the mental health of Sheehan, the girth of Moore, the screams of Dean, the frankenstein of Kerry, the ambulance chasing of Edwards, and the fad-hopping, trend-glomming, latte-drinking of liberals everywhere.
Not sure what caused him to wake up and give a shit. Frankly, I don't care. This week is bullshit. It makes no sense. It's not funny. It's not poignant. He's reconstructing the fables for no purpose. It's just the pathetic murmur of a man hopelessly out-of-time, just now catching up with the reckoning.
Ah, the rich pageantry of the comic strip writers [sic] life: getting up, sniffing green markers, drawing monsters, revealing nothing.

It's nice to see Stantis grow a pair now that only a third of the country supports HIS president. Too bad for Winslow though since he has to play the part of the administration.

That's right, I forgot that the decisions of the country are decided by phone polls now. Can't wait for that illiterate broad from American Idol (with VP in-the-closet dude) ascend to sing a little world leader pretend.

Well, it's nice to see that Stantis has finally come around. Too bad the strip still isn't funny. Unjust war is about as unfunny as it gets.

This could be the saddest strip I've ever seen.

SCOTTY'S CHECKLIST FOR TODAY'S PC
Gin and Tonics at the drawing table (CHECK)
Three-year old newsweeklies stacked nearby (CHECK)
Fox News on the Tee-Vee (CHECK)
Continuity from Thursday's strip (Um, what was that I drew yesterday?)
How do I draw a weasel? (HMM, time for a drink)
Winslow's the 'liberal' right? (CHECK)
Artistic quality (HIC)

WAIT! WAIT! WAIT! I get it! Carmen is the press, right? So we're going to find out that she has the story all wrong. It's the Horrible Liberal Elite Media that's reporting bad things about Iraq, and we all know that the occupation really is going well! Too bad no one will report the truth!
Whew! Now I can start the weekend, confident that Scott Stantis is still a neo-con.

Annie-Good point, but it still shows a 180 on Carmen and Winslow's characters.
