Mail Sacki
Good comments yesterday, folks. Let's dip into the mailbag and see what we have.

This may be a firefox vs. explorer problem, but whenever I try to read a story on Slate (I use firefox), it get a banner ad for Prickly City stuck in the middle of the page. See: http://www.slate.com/id/2173689/, where it's hiding a piece criticizing the Department of Homeland Security for its lack of strategic thinking.
I'm not sure what you're getting at here. Winston is the coyote formerly known as Winslow. Whether he was transformed into a firefox along with the name change has not been made clear. And while Carmen may be a "girl of color" according to Stantis, she should in no way be confused with Dora, the bilingual explorer. Carmen would never deign to speak anything other than the official language of the United States, were there ever to be one.

I thought Stantis was actually making fun of people who have a double standard about the illegal spying program. Another rare occasion where Carmen was the butt of the joke.
Maybe I am giving him to much credit if it was unintentional, but that is how I read this one.
This brings up the question of where Prickly City stands on the comedy scale. Does it fall into the slapstick, observational, situational, or satirical categories? No. As far as I can tell, it falls into the "unintentional" style of comedy, so you can properly give it credit for fulfilling its promise, John.

On a side note, Charles Brubaker has a blog and on it he mentions that Stantis -- yes, Scott Stantis -- is one of his biggest influences. I realize that he was always more on the pro-Prickly City side on this blog, but one of his biggest influences? And here we thought he left because of the masturbation jokes.
I'm getting a boner just thinking about there being a CB blog out there. Hook us up, PCNF!

Well Sacki's on Wednesdays now, and he stopped caring about Prickly City about a year ago.
Well Sacki? Furnace, you ignorant slut, I'm top shelf Sacki. Anyhow, stopped caring? A year ago? You must have just started reading this a year ago, because I never cared. Is called "prioritizing" by the Dutch who speak English.
Comments
As I wrote yesterday, Prickly City fan and Scott Stantis protege Charles Brubaker has his own blog. You want to know what it is, Sacki?
Alright then, if you say so:
"Baking the Baker" blog
http://bakertoons.blogspot.com
This blog has been going since June, apparently, so there's plenty to read. And you gotta love the part where he says Scott Stantis is his biggest influence. I could not believe it when I read that.
