Where's My Telegraph and Gramophone?
Oh boy, he's at it again. I don't mind if Stantis is going to take a week off from an overall storyline, but does he have to fall back on stuff that's never been funny?
Crazy Conservative Winslow is back to lovin' him some "stuff." He just can't get enough of technology, using his laptop to cruise ebay and amazon.com.
But Winslow needs to be careful. Someone out there could be illegally monitoring what websites he's cruising or what internet phone calls he might be making.
I really wonder why Stantis hates technology so much. He of the podcast and the internet comic and all that good stuff. Heck, I'll bet he trades stock on the internet. And you know he's a huge proponent of Cheney's missle defense system in the Pacific that has yet to be successfully tested. Three words from the conservatives and Mr. Cheney to you, North Korea: Bring It On.
Heck, now we're finding out that the conservatives love to use technology to track our banking records (although it's interesting that the White House is saying the New York Times has committed treason, but for some odd reason they're not going after the leakers this time - hmmmm...).
Scott Stantis, who I think might be nearing 40, is already at his Grampa Simpson stage. I can just hear him now: "I used to be with it, but then they changed what "it" was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems weird and scary to me."
So unless this actually leads to something topical, it looks like Scooter is going to hit us with some more of his "classic hits." As JB pointed out on Sunday we'll get the iPod and the FatBlaster - only it'll still be Winslow, since he's the dumb and silly one. Too bad Stantis doesn't realize he's his proxy now.
Whoa wait - maybe Stantis does have an overall idea for this week: Winslow gets his laptop stolen and loses all of the vital information on the people of Prickly City. That would be what, the tenth time that's happened in the past month?
On an unrelated note, I can't wait for the strip two weeks from now that makes fun of Rush Limbaugh needing viagra...
Comments
Today's strip is depressing, because it reflects my pathetic life by buying worthless stuff on eBay.
On the other hand...Winslow's grin proves he has another relative

Oh, BTW. Apparently, Larry Langford, an commissioner for Jefferson County, recently accused an editorial cartoon by Scott Stantis "racist and distasteful"

Can't have another Limbaugh storyline next week; already spent last week talking about the blimp.
