Gen Suck (reserved for the people born the same minute Stantis was)
Sigh.
Maybe it's because winter has been so topsy turvy this year (I'm sorry, but 30 degree swings every other week is not normal), but I get the sense that we here at Shrubville are more than a little burned out when it comes to Prickly City. At least I am, and I apologize to any of you who are reading this and wondering why the heck things have been so lame with me lately.
I guess I'm just tired of pointing out the same things over and over again when it comes to how terrible Stantis is as a writer. Today's strip is just awful. He has Winslow come up with this bizarre word to sum up his target audience, but when he explains what the word means to Carmen it's all out of order.
Stantis, you're not telling people this joke - you're writing it out. How can you not realize that there's a difference between telling someone a joke and writing it down??? I'm completely baffled by this, especially since it's not the first time Stantis has "told" a joke instead of writing it down so it makes sense to a reader, not a listener.
Yes, "Genywhynextnetboomletbabybusterboomermillennials" is a mouthful. But at least it would make sense, at least to me.
