Now I Hope Stantis Introduces a Mormon Character
Or maybe a scientologist...
This is one of those strips that I'm betting Stantis hopes people across the land will cut out and put on their refrigerators, a daily reminder of how cutesy and witty "Prickly City" is. You see, Carmen is God-fearing and heaven sent, while Winston/Winslow is man-centric and earth bound. But if there's one thing they can agree on, it's lunch! Amen to that, brother!
I can't really rag on today's entry too much. It's better than anything Stantis has done in ages, probably all year. Granted it comes on the heels of one of his worst storylines ever, where some mysterious secularists spent the whole week calling people of faith names (or at least in Stantis's paranoid mind that's what's happening in our country). Oh for the days when today's strip would have been on Monday, followed by a day of making fun of Britney Spears, then a day of pining away for Conde, maybe an afternoon of studies on fat kids, and finally the week would end with Stantis bitching about technology. Then I'd get a weekend of nothing strips so I could don the future goggles and bitch about things Stantis hadn't even done yet. Those were the days.
Instead, Stantis makes stuff up about "secularists." It would have been nice to know that Carmen was religious and Winslow was a heathen before all of this started, but I guess in the stereotyping mind of Stantis since Carmen is a conservative and Winlow is a liberal we should have already known that.
The big question: will Stantis dare talk about Larry Craig? Or the resignation of Karl Rove? Or the resignation of Alberto Gonzales? Tuesday will be the 9/11 memorial, so does that mean the rest of the week will be devoted to talking about Iraq (yes, I know one has nothing to do with the other, but tell that to our President - who's going to release the "Petraeus" report that day)?
Who knows, who cares. I say enjoy Prickly City while you can, because lord knows it's going to suck tomorrow. And the next day. And the day after that...
