TODAY'S STRIP

More fun with Air America today. I can understand Stantis devoting two (and counting) days to the "bankruptcy" story. It had a tremendous impact on us all.

Oh, wait. Did I say "us all?" I really meant, "on Michelle Malkin's website and the Drudge Report." Because, frankly, no one else seems to care. Corporations and companies will occasionally file Chapter 11. They continue to operate. Life goes on. It's bizness as usual. I hope whenever Scott travels from Birmingham to Tucson in order to research the desert for "Prickly City" he flies American Airlines, who is just about the only major American airline NOT to have filed Chapter 11.

So in addition to the fact that Chapter 11 is a part of life in our country which supports Big Business and The Al-ighty -ollar, Air America, in fact, as pointed out by the Furnace yesterday, did NOT EVEN declare bankruptcy.

So, Scott, no matter how you slice it: you got nothing of consequence to say re: Air America. NOTHING. So go back to drafting out your strips about Gerry Studds and Barney Frank. See you in two weeks.

Other better comic strip artists would have given Winslow his own pirate radio station over a year ago. Right around when Air America started Winslow should have made his own version, and then every few months Stantis could have revisited it. Carmen saying, "Hey Winslow, I heard Air Winslow was going bankrupt" would have started this week, and then Stantis could have made a bunch of "jokes" about the situation.

But no - "Air Winslow" will never be heard from again, tossed onto a pile of ideas that smarter comics would use to make people laugh.

Oh, when will the newspapers put us out of our misery? With The Boondocks gone, do they still need to do the equal time thing?
