Edwards's Haircut: Hack Job or Legitimate Commentary?
Did it really take Stantis two months+ to knock out a John Edwards's Hair strip? This was a "news" story that seemed custom-made for the Stantornator to lock his jaws around and froth and bite and growl about the minute (plus two weeks) it hit the wires.
Maybe it took him a couple months to perfect Edwards's arm. No, wait. That can't be right. He drew Edwards's arm back in August of '04:
In fact, let's take a brief digression from today's "hack job" and look at the evolution of the Art of Scott Stantis. Here's a side-by-side comparison of the same scenario drawn nearly three years apart:
Personally, I prefer the older, thinner Winslow, with his wary gaze off-panel, his tail like a backside erection, his nose like...well...an erect nipple, ne pas de mouth. And actually I prefer the older, thinner Edwards arm too. Nice detail with the dress shirt's button/cufflink.
But anyway, we're trying to solve the mystery of why it took so long for Stantis to address The Haircut...
[Insert brackets to indicate hours of quiet reflection followed by original research which is sure to produce the legitimate commentary that follows]
I suspect he was simply following the advice of the 2007 Farmer's Almanac, which lists the best day for being a predictable hack: 22.
Comments
This was around the same time it was revealed that Giuliani blew off an Iowa farmer and his family for a photo op when he found out they weren't millionaires - gee, which story do you think got the most attention? And do you think Stantis will comment on that?
At least the Politico is still on top of this massive Edwards hair story:

Who cares if Giuliani, Mr. "Only I Can Beat The Terrorists There So We Don't Have Another 9/11 Here," was a part of the Iraq Study Group but got kicked out because he was too busy making money on speaking engagements to make the meetings that actually could help win the war. But he's bald so it's not like there's an important haircut story to report on there.

It's as easy as choppin' brocollae.
