Meet The New Boss, Same As The Old Boss
I think someone needs to sit down our "liberal" friend Matt Davies and have a little talk with him. You see, the concept of bringing in a liberal cartoonist to handle Prickly City should have been an opportunity for the other side to get to make a few cracks at the expense of the conservatives. Nope. Mr. Davies is nothing more than warmed over Stantis with a funny way of talking.
Instead of having a little fun with the conservative readership that LOOOOOVES Prickly City, instead Davies makes fun of liberal Winslow with the lamest liberal stereotypes somebody (Stantis?) can come up with. Ah yes, he wears glasses, he drinks lattes, and he eats quiche. How droll. Maybe next week he can donate money to moveon.org and perform a few on-demand abortions on his way to marry some lesbians. Seriously, are we supposed to laugh at this crap?
How much would it have been to ask for Davies to poke a little fun at Carmen and the Republicans? Otherwise, what was the point of even announcing to the public that a "liberal artist" was taking over? Other than their appearance, what would have made a regular reader think someone other than Stantis was writing this week's strips (other than his snooty way of talking)? It's just more lame liberal bashing, this time making fun of the way they look and act. Hardy har har.
In the meantime, Rumsfeld is gone, Tom Delay started up a blog, the ISG said Iraq is chaos, but the Decider needs more time to decide about Iraq, and Laura Bush said that Conde Rice won't run for President because her parents are dead and she's not married. Yup, absolutely no fertile ground for comedy there. Instead next week will probably focus on the Howard Dean scream, Nancy Pelosi's face, Teddy Kennedy's drinking, and Michael Moore's girth. Just like every other day in Prickly City.
The only positive I can think of coming out of this week is that he put Carmen and Winslow in the blimp. That's something I guess.
Comments
Don't forget next week, other guest-artists will draw "Prickly," including a special appearance of cartoonist Greg Cravens, who was Stantis'former assistant artist for "The Buckets"
