Let Them Eat Enriched Yellowcake, or Bastille In Business After All These Years

TODAY'S STRIP

ON THIS DATE IN SHRUBVILLE HISTORY...July 13, 2005

CJo bypasses discussing the actual content of the strip and goes off on a tangent. Seriously. Youse can look it up!

"This is obviously one of those "advance the lame-ass storyline" strips. There's no funny. There's no point. Which means I ain't got nothing to say either."

I have a short memory, and even if I did have a solid one, I probably wouldn't have allowed this factoid to take up what little space I have to store - and then forget - things that I've learned:

"Prickly City celebrated its one-year anniversary on 7/11, Stantis announced. I think yesterday's strip is a testament to his staying power in the funny pages. If he repeats all his past strips he can eke out...I dunno...another year. Congratulations, Scott Stantis."

Holy spatula - a birfday! And also very insightful by CJo, as I think the combination of a) "advance the lame-ass storyline" strips with b) no funny and c) no point has allowed the widely syndicated drawerings to cruise through another year. Nevertheless, he has made it through to celebrate 2 years in bidness. Congratulations indeed.

One shudders, however, to think about how goddamn awful it can get from here, if the terrible twos are to be any worse than what's preceded.
