My Pal Foot Foot Up Your Ass, or There Are Many Things I Blunder
You know who wants peace, my friends? Those dirty, dirty Hollywood types. Just look at them there, in the first panel, holding a hunger strike. It's obvious that (from left to right) Gene Shalit, Mr. Peanut, and, in a special comic strip appearance performed before his death late last year, Vincent Schiavelli, are all out of touch with what real, we-used-to-want-to-secede-from-the-United-States-but-we-lost-and-now-we-want-to-drag-the-rest-of-the-country-down-to-our-level Americans feel on the subject. As we learned earlier this week, the writer of PC has an uneven grasp of the fine points of philosophical thought, as well as diplomacy, such that it seems the only possible source of his education on the subject came from listening to the Shaggs, with a touch of Megadeth thrown in for good measure.

Meanwhile, in the course of checking out the long overdue addition of a Shrubville link at PC's wiki page, to which we are indebted to the incomparable Gorilla Jones, I noticed that Mr. Stantis himself has made some revisions under the declaration that "I am the creator of Prickly City and found some inaccuracies that I corrected." Such as "It urns out that the editors that work at Universal Press Syndicate, which distriibutes Prickly City, eroneously added quote marks without clearing the decision with the strips creator, Scott Stantis." Sadly, no correction has yet to be made to the correction.

Yup, nothing like comparing Iraq to the Nazis and Hitler. Again. Nice Dave Mustaine reference, by the way.

So is Stantis saying that George Bush is Hitler, invading countries for the heck of it? Or did I misunderestimate something?

Not at all, Annie. I believe you OVERestimate his ability to appreciate nuance, much like half of the people who voted against Kerry in the last presidential election. Nuance...which, of course, is given to our language by the French.
