Carmen Just Now Figures This Out?
Oh great - another example of why Prickly City needs a third character. Wouldn't Carmen, who's desperate for Winslow to do well in the polls, be happy with his show of emotion so he can connect with the audience? Heck, all of the talking heads are saying that's the only reason Hillary won New Hampshire. Instead, she points out that he shouldn't show his human side because he's not human.
Hmm, don't you have to be human to be president? God, this strip sucks.
What else to say about this trainwreck? At least if Dio or some other character (how about the guy at the campaign office?) was saying Carmen's lines today it would make sense. But for Carmen to do it at a time when she's been begging for him to do anything to win this race goes to show how pathetic this strip is.
I mean look at that second panel. Carmen acts like she's seeing Winslow for the very first time, and as some innocent bystander who hasn't been around for the entire campaign she's pointing out the obvious about Winslow being a cat - er, I mean a coyote. Why not have it be some other kid, or some random voter, or even Shelly the Turtle? Don't throw the ONE PERSON IN THE ENTIRE CITY whose been along for this ride from the beginning to make this point. Otherwise, she looks even more stupid for supporting this candidacy in the first place.
Sorry, I'm just rambling at this point. Stantis is going to milk this supposed crying jag from Hillary all week long, and it's just going to get worse. Oh - wait - didn't Britney get carted off in an ambulance a few weeks ago? Gee, something else to look forward to this week in the worst comic strip in the world.

Why is Winslow crying, anyway? Shouldn't he be all relaxed and destressed after his vacation?

Well, Fred "lazy-guy-with-a-trophy-wife" Thompson has dropped out of the race. So far, Fred had been Stantis' whipping boy when he wanted to pretend that he makes fun of both sides. So who gets the token jabs at the GOP now? Rudy? Ron Paul? I doubt he would be bold enough to make fun of a front-runner.

John,
That's EXACTLY what I was saying last week at my blog. He only goes after the lesser candidates -- Thompson, Giuliani -- and the easy targets -- Hillary. But I'd love to see him actually bother with taking on one of the front-runners on either side on the actual issues. But that will never happen.
Next to drop out?
a) Gravel (Mr. 0.0%)
b) Kucinich (Unable to win over many voters)
c) Giuliani (Disastrous in early primaries and falling behind in FL)
d) Huckabee (Short on funds)
e) Other
My vote is for either Gravel or Giuliani.

...And when I say "my vote" I mean my pick for the next to drop out, not my vote for in the primary.
