Encyclopedia Brown and the Case of the Embiggened Candidate and/or the Case of the Fucked-Up Grammar
Leroy Brown gets a workout as he's trotted out for the second day in a row. And this time there's twice the mystery.
Mystery One: How did Obama grow so tall overnight? As you may recall, yesterday Winslow's ear tips reached Obama's waist. Today, Winslow's ears *barely* reach Obama's knee. Or, wait, did Winslow shrink?? Either way: Mystery.
Mystery Two: What the fuck does "You're Outs" mean?? Did Stantis mean to write for Winslow "your outs," as in "We are engaged in playing the basketball game known as 'one-on-one.' I will now employ the phrase 'your outs' to indicate that you have the ball." Or was Stantis trying to, in fact, say, "You are outs" -- some new black/terrorist slang like, "you is outz, dawg," [fist bump].
I suppose there is a third mystery afoot:
Mystery Three: How on earth does this sloppiness get past editors? Do the editors care even less than Stantis?
Comments
Do you think he meant "you're ours"? As in, "you will now be dragged through the Republican smear machine, the likes of which you have never seen. Ohn and come November, I'll start writing strips about the tragic coarsening of the culture without ever admitting the role that my beloved party plays in it."

As to how $000,000,000,0bama grew well that's easy enough to explain. Yesterday he was foregoing private funding, and today he's standing on a pile of change he can believe in.
