Welcome to the RNC (Republican Nation's Comic)!
Hey everybody and welcome to the All Conservative Comic Strip!
On the extreme, Radical Religious Right we've Neo-Con Carmen! She's a corn-fed Bush Lover, feeling smug and superior to everyone else while they're all made to look foolish. Unfortunately the poor girl was born without a funny bone, but that's okay - a few more tax cuts for the rich and she'll be able to buy one off a homeless person! Please welcome Connie - er, I mean Carmen!
And on the not-so-far Right we have Republican Winslow! He's single, furry, and he used to be a liberal but since his creator questioned the war in Iraq he's been turned into yet another sheep. Please give a big round of applause to Winslow!
On today's show, more Gore bashing! Yup, can't get enough of that. At least we don't see ol' fatso claiming he invented the internet. Nope, now we get to bash Hillary instead! Ah yes, clever creator Scott Stantis (sorry ladies, he's single) says Gore won't just make Hillary look centrist, but SANE too! Ha ha ha ha! Oh stop, Mr. Stantis, my sides hurt! I think I broke a rib.
But please, if you're a first time reader don't look into this strip too much. Don't stop to think that Hillary is already a centrist who voted for the war in Iraq and has taken a moderate stand on nearly every issue out there.
And if you've been reading the strip for a while now, please don't look too hard into the character of Winslow. In the past he wouldn't have torn Hillary a new one by calling he insane - he'd probably call her one of his heroes. And he wouldn't have called Gore insane as well - he would have argued that Gore really is the President seeing as how he did win the popular vote in 2000.
But thinking is not what Prickly City is about! It's about wacky fun and craziness! So sit back, relax, grab your morning cup o' joe and enjoy the laugh outloud hysterics of the nation's most beloved comic strip! At least in Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly's houses.

You know, I would say that Prickly City has jumped the shark thanks to the Iraq series and the whole immigration deal, but that would imply it was good at some point. Nobody ever said, "I think The Diaries of Desmond Pfeiffer jumped around episode three" or "It's so depressing that Homeboys in Outer Space made the leap over the shark when they went to the sex planet." Instead it just looks like Stantis, much like Arlen Specter, has given in to the far right wing of the Republican party and is making the whole strip red. Which is going to make writing for Shrubville just a bit harder - at least Winslow would make some liberal points now and then. Now it's going to be all Republican, all the time - and we know how unfunny those guys are. Expect Winslow to be wearing a "Club G'itmo" t-shirt and for Carmen to call the 9/11 widows "harpies" next week. Ha ha ha - shut up, Stantis. Maybe with those tax cuts of yours you can hire someone else to be funny, because you sure aren't.
Comments
Correction: Scott Stantis is married. Although it reads kinda funny the way it is now.

That Happy Days episode was more funny UNINTENTIONALLY than Stantits is on any given day.
