Clever As A Gizzard
Is every argument that Prickly City tries to make a strawman argument? Why yes, quite so, indeed, no doubt, you've hit the nail on the head, ain't that the truth, indubitably, verily, verily.
So what do I mean by strawman argument? Misrepresentation, illogic, taking quotes out of context? Sure, that happens sometimes, but that's not the strawman I know. That's not the strawman at all. No way, no how, impossible, unheard of, out of the question, inconceivable.
The strawman here, the one that has been running through the Prickly City thread since its inception, has been humming "If I Only Had A Brain." And not only that, all of this while today's strip, in which Carmen wishes for fingers, fingers which she will no doubt place in her mouth, presents the underlying theme of "Suck? Yes, We Do Suck."
Comments
Some day, some funny pages editor is going to realize that Stantis and his politics are so vague and unfocused that Prickly City is not a conservative strip that balances Doonesbury or Candorville, it is instead a terrible strip that balances all the laughs one gets from Frazz or Get Fuzzy or, yes, Doonesbury and Candorville.

Shouldn't it be a requirement that the strip actually make sense?
