You Repeat What You Sow
Boy, that didn't last long. Before he even got into it, Stantis dropped the U.S. Attorney firing story. Granted, he's picking up on a potentially more damaging thread: the revelation that the FBI has been breaking the law while misusing their power in obtaining warrants to spy on U.S. citizens.
It's a challenging topic for a comic strip. So when in doubt, just pull a repeat out of your ass. Like this one from January 2, 2006:
As I said back in 1/2/06:
It took me awhile to "get" today's strip. For the longest time this morning, I thought God was listening in on Carmen and Winslow's phone conversation. As you know, God is omnipresent. He's running our government, he's choosing textbooks for our schools, he's picking which football teams win which games -- he's EVERYWHERE, PEOPLE! But the more I thought about it, the more I realized today was Stantis referencing the Bush wire-tapping scandal.It's a cute strip. After all, it's probably just a harmless conversation Winlsow and Carmen are having about the PETA rally Winslow attended. There's no reason for alarm. There's no reason for concern. Just let the Exectutive Branch of the government do what they see fit. That's why Stantis spent so much newspaper space and so much energy in 2004 to ensure Bush was re-elected. Can you imagine the Tax Sandwich we'd all be chewing on had Kerry been elected. It would've been a disaster.
You did a heckuva job, Scott; heckuva job.
