She Who Smelt It...
My first thought when reading today's Prickly City: what are those scribbles behind Carmen? Stink lines? At first it looks like she's whoooshing into the frame ("Hurry - ask Kevin a question!") but then it's like a dust cloud in the last frame. Odd.
As for the strip, Carmen/Stantis wonders why Kevin is resorting to the politics of fear. It's as if he wasn't around in 2004. Democratic candidate Winslow is of course freaked out, much like the rest of the candidates in the current "race" (I like to put race in quotes since the media has already decided Hillary and Giuliani are the candidates - why bother voting when they know what's best?).
I must admit that Kevin does look really evil, which is one of the few positive things I've had to say about Stantis' drawing ability. Too bad it's a week after Halloween, when having a scary character like that would have been fitting. And too bad it's in a strip where Carmen's weight fluxuates more than Oprah's.
You know what this strip needs? MORE STINK LINES!
That'll fix it.

Kevin must have loved it back in 2004 when Cheney warned us that we would invite terrorist attacks by electing Kerry.

Damn, Kevin looks like a seriously wascally wabbit in these strips...

Check this out, a strip that's more badly drawn than "Prickly City"

And yes, it runs in some papers, although in very small numbers compared to "Prickly"
