Do You Wed This Agent Of Intolerance?
Oh goody - Stantis continues to fawn over Jerry Falwell. But of course since he's the Worst Comic Strip Writer In The World he botches it.
Carmen and Winslow sit in the desert (they must be tuckered from all the running and snake-swinging they did yesterday in celebration of Falwell's life). Carmen notes that Falwell "wedded politics and religion." Carmen then delivers her own witty retort because apparently Winslow is too stupid to think of it, saying she hears that religion has filed for a divorce. Then Winslow says something unimportant just so we know he's still a character in the strip.
This is what happens when you're too afraid to let your own creation - but one with a different viewpoint than your own - get the zinger. Wouldn't it have made a whole lot more sense for Winslow to joke that religion wants a divorce? Of course. But Stantis has to make his precious little angel Carmen the alpha dog, so Winslow can go spit.
On top of that, do you think Stantis realizes that he just insulted everything Falwell tried to accomplish in his life? If religion wants a divorce, then doesn't that mean the union with politics has failed miserably? That his attempts to influence our government have led to the presidency of George W. Bush? What's great is that since Stantis was so adamant about having Carmen deliver the punchline that he can't even blame the liberal Winslow for insulting Falwell's accomplishments. It's all on the Neo-Con Tot to blast a dead man two weeks after he was put into the ground for failing to make his "marriage" work and ruining politics with his religious influences. Way to pay tribute, Stantis.
But hey, what can you expect from a guy that whines that animated comics have an unfair advantage and then proceeds to copy and paste the exact same panel four times in a row. Laziness, thy name is Stantis.
Comments
Uh, Stantis, just 'cause Jerry Falwell tried to wed politics and religion doesn't mean that they were actually wed.
Or were you referring to how Falwell tried to wed them and Bush incorporated his religion into his policies?
Nice artwork. It almost tops that snake from yesterday. How lazy.

As far as liberal foils go, Winslow is worse than Colmes.
