It'll probably be missed in the bump, but my theory is that it's a solar panel and a windmill at the "church" Winslow is at.

Why does the guy call Carmen "sir?"

Okay, seriously... What are those two things on top of the church sign? My first impression was that the thing on the right was an urn and on the left was a podium of some kind. But now all these other theories are coming up. Windmill? Propeller? Lamp? Solar panel? THe creepy thing is, it kind of looks like all those different objects. Stantis, when your readers are debating what your drawings show, you're in trouble. Mayhap you should hire someone else to take over the art for you, like you did for your old strip 'The Buckets.' Mayhap you should stop writing 'Prickly City' as well. Trust me, YOUR presence sure as heck won't be missed.
On to the topic of the week! Global warming. Carmen still doubts that it is man-made. Winslow believes that it is for fear of being called names by the mainstream media and Charles Gibson. (Speaking of Charles Gibson, I couldn't think off the top of my head who he was. A quick search on Wikipedia revealed that he is the ABC World News Tonight anchor. Well, I don't know about you, but I don't place much value in what TV news anchors say these days due to their pervasive and deliberate sensationalizing of news.)
Carmen, Carmen, Carmen, what are we going to do with you and your conservative points of view? We don't know what exactly causes global warming, and there's a possibility that it is just a global climate shift, but there is a good chance that man-made pollution is contributing (possibly a lot) to the problem. But if you don't want to face the facts, that's okay too.
You won't be the only one.
Stantis, clearly, always sides with you. You are his alter-ego in the strip. Winslow is the buffoon, the real source of "comedy," but you are the voice of Scott himself.
Alright, Carmen/Stantis, we'll "pardon [you] if [you] don't genuflect" for Al Gore, CNN, and Newsweek. After all, you're a conservative and you're entitled to you're own point of view.
But guess what? We, the liberals, didn't decide that global warming might be man-made because we attend some Church of Unquestionable Paradigm and are brainwashed by some hooded goon, as depicted in your 2/28 comic. No, Mr. Stantis, we don't "genuflect" for Gore or CNN or Newsweek either. Like you, we thought about it and formed an opinion.
But excuse me for suggesting that you might be wrong because, as we've seen this week, everyone who doesn't believe exactly what YOU, some bozo cartoonist who can't draw, believe is a follower of some cult, or else an imbecile like Winslow.
Now I'm going to visit pricklycity.com and listen to the podcast that pitifully apologizes for the Nancy Pelosi plane storyline. I trust that it is hysterical.
