The Thinker
[INT. -- The Stantis Household. Scott Stantis, half-drunk by Noon, trying desperately to come up with a strip idea, picks up a guitar and starts to sing...]
"Some people call me a dumb cowboy, yeah
Some call me a supporter of war
Some people call me Stinkor
Cause I speak of the pompitus of Rove.
People talk about me, Carmen
Say I'm doin' you wrong, doin' you wrong
Well, don't you worry, baby
Don't worry Cause I'm right here, right here, right here,
philosophizing at home.
Cause I'm a deep guy
And a scribbler
I'm very pensive
A mental dibbler
I'm Right and others are not.
I'm a thinker
I'm a drinker
I'm a midnight stinker
I get my ideas on the pot, Wooo Woooo."
[Stantis drops the guitar, picks up a colored pencil and starts to sketch a brilliant strip that illustrates how deeply he thinks about his place in the world, making a profit from the general indifference of the newspaper-reading public.]
Comments
It's pathetic that Stantis probably spent less time creating today's strip than CJo spent writing the song parody.
But at least he introduced a new character today. Will we see more of the giant talking housefly sitting with Winslow?
