Clubber Lang? I Hardly Know Her & Where's The Lang Located?
I see that last year at this time I was into full-on year in review mode, like every other lazy writer trying to not put too much effort into his short workweek, because frankly, nobody's paying attention to anything at this point and it all gets lost in the shuffle. Now, it can be said that I don't put too much effort into any of the other 52 weeks in the year, and I might grant you that point. Anyhow, if I were to do a year end top 10 Shrubville columns, it might look something like this:
1-9: Sacki
10(t): CJo/Furnace
That's #10 with a bullet.
Which is all to say, by way of today's Prickly City, that it appears that the time off to rejuvenate his spirit has reinvigorated our fair author's ability to pull off a fair to middling comic strip, and that perhaps, if I were to take a little break of a year or so, time to beat up a side of beef or go to Russia and chop some firewood, I could come back in 2008 (an election year!) and strive to capture that 10th spot in the year-end poll. It's a punch-drunk idea that just might work.
Comments
Maybe it's a little thing, but did anyone notice that the panel borders are straight lately? Like Scott is actually using a ruler for these?
Something he hasn't done since his short lived "Sydney" comic-strip (1985-1985).

...make that (1985-1986)

I thought it was agreed upon that CJo was #10. I'm not worthy of any top ten, unless it's "posts with pictures some people consider softcore porn."

You're one Faiku shy of sweeping the top 10, Sacki.
