When Winslow's Away...Carmen Will Still Be Unfunny
I'm starting to think we might need to include a new feature with each entry: a brief recap of what's happened over the last few days in Prickly City. Because apparently even Stantis can't follow what the heck he's doing and make any sense out of it.
Saturday: behind the podium taking campaign questions, Winslow calls for campaign finance reform by attacking Canada.
Sunday: (excluded since I know - but Pellucid doesn't - that they're usually one-offs)
Monday: Stantis ram-rods in an iPhone "gag" that makes absolutely zero sense and might arguably be the worst drawn PC ever - and that's REALLY saying something.
That brings us to today, Tuesday. Carmen is alone. Why? Because Winslow is "gone on the campaign trail."
Last we heard, Winslow was the frontrunner in the campaign because the first primary is in Prickly City, where he's been doing all of his speaking behind the podium.
Prickly City is four blocks long according to Carmen.
So what, she's too damn lazy to walk to the other side of town to see Winslow? Or are we to believe that now Winslow is traveling the country when he should be focusing on winning his own state (city, whatever, none of this makes any sense anyway).
Why does Pellucid fight so hard for this? What is it about Prickly City that makes a person want to defend this nonsense?
So I guess the rest of the week will be all Carmen, all the time. Standing by herself in the middle of the desert. I'm sure this will be much different from her standing alone in the desert unsure of what she stood for anymore, or her standing alone in the desert unsure of what the Republican party stood for anymore. Hey, maybe this time she'll stand alone in the desert unsure of what Conservatives stand for anymore. That'll be a winner.
But then again if Stantis actually looked ahead and planned out a timely strip for the iPhone (can't be bothered to do that for things like holidays, but the iPhone? You betcha) maybe he saw that the 4th of July is coming up and is changing yet another thing he does in PC thanks to Shrubville and actually comment on the big day. Get ready for Carmen standing in front of the American flag calling everyone who isn't a Bush supporter a traitor and unpatriotic. If we're lucky maybe she'll punch Winslow in the face, just for fun.
Unless he's off on the campaign trail. Four blocks away.
Comments
You know, for a comic strip named "Prickly City," we sure don't ever actually see Prickly City itself, or any of the inhabitants. Nope, just Carmen and Winslow runnin' around in the desert outside the city.

Another thing...
If Winslow is out on the campaign trail (four blocks away -- that was a great and hilarious point, Furnace), Carmen has been left all alone... without anyone to talk to but herself.
You SEE why you need another character or two, Stantis?
People here at Shrubville have been saying that all along!
