Tug Job (But Not The Kind Republican Senator Larry Craig Had In Mind)
Uh oh, he's doing it again. Every once in a great while Stantis loves to dabble in the ol' philosophy - usually picking a quote he loves that's inevitably from a liberal philosopher and twisting its real meaning to suit his neo-conservative views. Does anybody know if Stantis was a philosophy major before he dropped out of college?
I'm not really sure what Stantis is talking about here. Carmen is still tugging on that rope she found on the ground yesterday, and now she reveals that she has no idea who's on the other end - it's just "them" and if she stops pulling "they win." Even that idiot Winslow realizes how stupid that logic is, which makes me wonder: did Carmen do something to piss Stantis off?
This might be a part of Stantis's whole mid-life/mid-term Republican crisis. Like a lot of other Republicans I'm sure he's confused about his party - they had everything, all three branches of government, and they completely screwed it all up. Is the rope a metaphor for Iraq? Is Stantis trying to say that it was just something Bush thought he needed to do and now he can't give up or "they" (the terrorists, who had nothing to do with Iraq but don't tell Republicans that) will win?
Who knows, who cares. Lazy azz Stantis found a way to draw Carmen once and copy and paste her for at least two days, probably the rest of the week, and Winslow is only a slight variation in each strip. Way to go, Stantis: you found a new and inventive way to slap together a strip without having to exert any effort other than coming up with a stupid storyline that even you have to admit doesn't make any sense. Bravo. You redefine "the worst" every single day.
