Bullet with Coyote Fur
Despite all your rage, Winslow ("Well Crud..."), you're still just a rat in a maze. Trying to find Iowa. To the boredom and utter confusion of comics page readers across the nation.
I think both Sacki and The Furnace (in comments) had yesterday's strip figured out. Winslow counts three fingers on the globe to get from PC to Iowa, then takes three steps and expects to be in Iowa. All the while doing the waltz (1-2-3, 1-2-3, Box Step, No Turn).
Alas, it is Stantis who gets it all wrong. When I think "Waltz + Globe" I arrive at the answer of "Vienna" not "Dubuque."
So whilst Winston wanders whither, hither, thither, and, of course, yon, the rest of us wander down to our local rathskeller and drink until every last brain cell that still tries to register some meaning out of Prickly City is obliterated. Or maybe that's just me.
Comments
I wonder if Stantis or Toby has figured out that the fewer comments we generate here, the less people care about PC. At least when he's controversial it generates responses from people - more than a few commenters have said in the past they had to come to Shrubville and vent. But when he spends a week on "Winston is so stupid he can't find Iowa," nobody cares. It's not funny, it's not clever - it just sits there, taking up space that could be used by actual comic strip artists that care about their readers enough to spend more than two minutes slapping a strip together.

If I had the time (or less bloody fingers, don't ask), I would type out a letter or email to Stantits and simply ask him, "How much time does it take you to create and draw one weeks worth of PC strips?"
And then, I'd compare that answer to the answers given by the legion of actual artists and funnymen who bring us the ha-ha on a daily basis. You know, the ones who produce actually funny or insightful strips. Cuz I bet he doesn't put 10% of their average effort into this pile of steaming crap.
