The Thong Obsession Continues
Okay, I know that what Stantis was trying to do this week could have been funny. Rupert Murdoch buys out one of the Prickly City papers. Makes sense. But I still can't figure out how Carmen and Winslow fit into all of this. Stantis is syndicated, so it's not like he's saying that Murdoch is allowing him to keep both characters by buying him out. And it's never been established that somehow Carmen and Winslow work at some newspaper as comic strip actors and that paper is in Prickly City.
Oh hell, screw this. I'm not going to waste a beautiful Saturday trying to think out something that Stantis doesn't even understand himself. Feel free to rack your brain if you like, but it's too damn nice outside to be spending any time on this crap.
Unless Winston in a thong is something you're into. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Speaking of gay things...Winslow in a thong. What the hell is with Stantis and thongs? I know you always say this, but it's not just thongs (and the moral deterioration of our society that results) that fascinates Stantis so -- it's male characters in thongs. And since there's one male character, that means Winslow in a thong. A lot.
One thing Stantis never explains is why Winslow, being a heteros*xual male (I can only assume), EVER wears a thong. I remember one of the earliest PC strips. Subject? Winslow being chafed "down there" because he wzas wearing a thong and has a tail. Wait a minuto there Scott...why was he wearing a thong? And here again. Winslow gets to be the first "Page 3 coyote." Okay...why did Winslow ever pose for a photograph in a thong in the first place?
It really is disgusting, and I can't believe that Stantis's syndicate lets him talk about and depict thongs so excessively without ever saying anything worthwhile about the subject.
As for this week's alleged story, I think the idea is that Carmen and Winslow are working as comic strip characters for the Peccary newspaper and one was going to get fired until Murdoch bought out the paper. Dragging Stantis, the syndicate, and anything else into this would just muddle it further, and that would be useless since Stantis won't continue talking about this past today.
Well, that's two minutes of brain-racking -- enough time wasted on Carmen, Winslow, and Scott Stantis. It was a beautiful day outside here too...if it is so in Alabama as well, hopefully Scott Stantis is luxuriating in it. After all, we all know that sure as hell ain't workin' on his strip.
