Carmen: "You know what you are, Winston?"
Winston: "Golllly! No!"
Carmen: "You're a bad nabor."
Winston: "Surprise, surprise, surprise."
This quick recap brought to you by the 2D Players, who remind you that the author of Prickly City half-asses it for billions and billions of dollars, so why can't Sacki do it for free.

The word is "misanthrope", but given Alabama's results on the National Assessment of Educational Progress exam, "antihumite" is the best Scottie can do.

Hey, it's the third time THIS YEAR that Stantis has fallen back on ripping off the Seinfeld "anti-dentite" joke. Just type the word into the ol' Shrubville search engine and you'll see he used it back in January and again in July. Laziness, thy name is Stantis.

Man, you would think that exposing him as a fake would make him go away, but no...
What's that? You thought I was talking about SSNODFBF? No, no... I was talking about Scott Stantis!

I think this is supposed to be some kind of Israel/Palestine conflict allegory... although as usual, I don't disregard the idea that Stantis just scrawled things down at random until they looked vaguely coherent.

That's a good point, Antenora. Maybe Stantis actually does have some sort of sense of metaphor and "anti-humite" does indeed symbolize anti-Semitism. I quote: "everything was fine until you (humans/Israelis) moved in"..."go back to where you came from."
Wow, this strip suddenly seems to make a lot more sense.
On the other hand, this also makes Stantis look bad, as he basically took not one (as we thought yesterday) but two days to set up his joke. Also, it makes it seem as if Stantis makes it up as he goes along instead of planning out the basic plot beforehand. It is, after all, a contrived series about global warming that was transformed into commentary on the Arab/Israel Conflict.
That sentence alone should speak for itself.
