iWhat?
Fresh start. Fresh eyes. New week. New MONTH. Let's tackle today's strip...

... Good god, this is bloody awful.
From what I can figure out...Winslow was exhausted from standing in line for two days to buy an iPhone. Once he purchased the phone, he stumbled home, confused and disoriented. Instead of his house, he ended up at "Niki" the dog's house. Niki punched the invading Winslow in the face three or four times, blacked his eye, broke his teeth. Winslow then stumbled outside Niki's doghouse to find a post-apocalyptic world, where telephone poles are smashed and strange detritus litters the ground. At which point, Winslow falls. Carmen, who has morphed into a hoot owl, runs to his aid.
Am I right, people?
Anyway, it's days like today when we need the wise guidance of Ryan, Shrubville commenter from July 1, 2007 11:03 PM: "Who cares? It's just a silly little comic."
Indeed, Ryan; indeed. Thanks for playing.

Wow. Stantis looked ahead and wrote a strip dealing with a current event in real time. People are still talking about iPhones today! Of course the strip does not make any sense, and doesn't really say anything about iPhones. It is just another Winslow-is-a-moron strip. You could easily replace the word "iPhone" and still have the same joke. (Try "cell phone", "Walkman", "Rubik's cube", "mood ring", etc.)
The drawing today is particulary bad, even by Stantis' standards for scribbling. Maybe planning a timely strip cut into the amount of time he had left to write a joke and draw a picture. As for the hoot-owl look for Carmen, I think it is an improvement over her usual tiny face and enormous forehead.

Do you think a girl named Niki broke Stantis's heart way back when? Wow. I still have no clue what the strip is about, but thanks for trying to explain it CJo.

Why oh why doesn't Stantis comment on something that is actually relevant?
Yeah, the iPhone came out recently, but that doesn't automatically make it good filler material.
You're right, it doesn't have to be an iPhone in that strip, it could be anything... Rubik's cube, cell phone, etc. He just wants to make it "timely". It's not timely it's just bad!!!
In fact, Stantis is so off-topic that here's my Future Goggles prediction. Since Bush commuted ibby's prison sentence today, in two weeks Stantis will show Winslow eating a donut. While explaining that his platform is to free Paris Hilton.
