This Sister is Twisted

TODAY'S STRIP

A week that has brought us the feeling that somebody is always watching every breath we take while waiting for our Whalers at BK klymaxxes with the Winslow Toilet Cam.

Scott's question, "Will we ever get to the point where we finally say enough?" inspires a call to action, an academy fight song for the youth of America, a faux-glam-rock'ized anthem with which we chant in unison and pump our teenage fists:

"We've got the right to choose and
There ain't no way we'll lose it
This is our life, this is our song
We'll fight the powers that be
Just don't pick our destiny 'cause
You don't know us, you don't belong

We're not gonna take it.
No, we ain't gonna take it.
We're not gonna take it anymore."

This is all rather hilarious, if you think about it. Scott Stantis -- the personification of White Male Aggression, AKA, The Man -- spent the last three years of his comic-strip-writing life as the spittle-flecked Mark Metcalf, hectoring and bullying those who disagreed with his ideological brethren.

"What kind of a man are you?," you can imagine him saying to no one in particular. He continues, "You're worthless and weak. You do nothing, you are nothing, you sit in here all day and play that sick, repulsive, electric twanger. I carried an M16 and you, you carry that, that, that, guitar! Who are you? Where do you come from? Are you listening to me? What do you wanna do with your life?!"

And now he wants to rock? He wants to fight the power these days? Mooning surveillance cameras, rallying for civil disobedience?

This guy is twisted.

It's great to see that Stantis has held this position ever since 9/11, making him a true patriot even though conservatives would have called him a terrorist lover for not trusting our government with watching our every move ("if you have nothing to hide, why should it matter?").

What? He only started objecting to these cameras THIS WEEK? Nevermind.
