Breakdown Takedown You're Busted
Wow. Things must be pretty bleak around Prickly City Inc. these days. Stantis has gone from semi-incoherent to full-fledged dementia in the span of a week. I almost feel bad picking on him when he's struggling with his doubts about the future of the strip, as symbolized by Carmen tugging, warring, and yanking with the unknown "them that's not us."
If I were Shira-Chan, I might be sharpening my Manga-Drawing Pencils. Stantis seems to be nearing a complete mental breakdown and could soon need another two weeks off to recovery from "surgery."
Comments
I think this is the first time I have ever seen Stantis make Carmen the butt of the "joke".
I won't comment on the grammar this time, because I think he meant "them that's not us" to be intentionally wrong, sort of like Walt Kelly's famous line from Pogo, "We have met the enemy, and he is us." But unlike Kelly's inclusive "he is us", Stantis' line takes the typical neo-con approach of admitting no wrong. "You are either with us or against us."
You're doing a heck of job, Stantie.
