Some Common Ground We All Can Agree On: You Suck
I can just imagine the inspiration for this strip: Stantis, marker-ink-drunk, stumbles around his studio late one night. He catches his reflection in the mirror. "Why?" he bellows, "Why do they hate me so?"
No, of course he's not talking about radical Islam/terrorists/desert hamsters. He's talking about us and the legions of Prickly City "haters" out there.
Oh, Scott Stantis, you poor sap. Let me just give you a couple of the reasons why we "hate" you, my man:
1. Your strip is nothing but a vehicle to parrot the Conservative Talking Points, as disseminated to you via the Drudge Report, Newsmax, Fox News, and any administration press conference,
2. Yet you claim NOT to be a lapdog of the administration and use as proof the handful of times you've countered the administration,
3. Those times have been nothing more than kid-glove, limp-wristed-paw swipes, amounting to nothing more than a chuckling "tsk tsk,"
4. You attack liberals (and your detractors) for being unable to criticize the substance of any conservative argument, saying the liberals rely on personal attacks,
5. Yet you constantly make fun of the appearance of liberals with cheap, gloves-off rabbit punches.
6. You've never given an explanation for the disappearance of Dio.
Here endeth the lesson.

Don't forget that he can't draw and he can't keep his own characters straight.

re: #5 -
you need to take the gloves off for the rabbit punches, just in case there's bleeding.
