Maybe She Can Buy Stantis A Clue While She's There
I have no idea what Stantis is talking about in today's Prickly City.
Maybe he went into a store at the mall and they were trying to dump all of the "USA - Love It Or Leave It (Unless You're A Dirty Brown Person)" t-shirts and came up with this gem of a strip. I dunno. But it sure doesn't make any sense to me. Maybe because I haven't been spending much time in malls lately since I don't have the disposable income a big time syndicated comic strip writer has.
At first I thought that Winslow was having a fire sale of all the stuff he put together for his campaign. That would have made sense, since Stantis seems to have (once again) given up on Winston's candidacy. But nope - this is apparently a real store in Prickly City. Having a 4th of July sale. In December.
Remember: he gets paid to do this.
What's even cheekier is that Lil' Miss America-Lover herself Carmen is the one who has the "witty" punchline saying that things can get worse. Yeah, I remember all those times it was Carmen saying that we shouldn't question the patriotism of people who question George W. Bush or the war in Iraq, and all of those storylines where she criticized Republicans for saying if you don't support the president, you support the terrorists. Carmen's well known for that sort of thing. Ahem.
Also keep in mind that it was only yesterday that Carmen was saying that she just wanted everybody to get along and it was liberal Winslow who was obsessed with getting "stuff" for Christmas. Yet here she is the very next day at the mall with Winslow buying stuff.
This might go down as one of the worst weeks in the history of Prickly City. And that's REALLY saying something.
