Leading Some To Think Prickly City Sucks
Once again, I "get" what Stantis is going for here. But it just doesn't work for me.
Winslow yaps on about the Big Bang Theory and how "some" people think that once it reaches its zenith, time will go backwards. So he shakes up a can of pop and gives it to Carmen, apparently hoping that at the very moment she opens it the entire universe will have expanded as far as it can. Um, yeah.
Again, I see what he's trying to do. But geez louise, can we get something other than a first draft when we read Prickly City? This is just a basic idea in search of someone who can actually articulate it. Has anyone been reading Opus lately? Breathed has been doing a great series where Opus learns that he's just a character in a comic strip, and he's able to make it funny and insightful AND still relates it to politics.
Readers of Prickly City get half-baked philosophizing from a junior college dropout who's a George W. Bush apologist and wouldn't know a funny joke if it bit him on his zenith. That's not fair and balanced, that's just cruel to comic strip readers everywhere.
Comments
Again with the electronics in the desert; where is Winslow even getting this stuff? And I bet the sand alone is murder on their innards.
