Board Now
Winslow insults Carmen. Carmen threatens to hit him with a board. And so goes the next day in the "nobody cares about Winslow as Obama's V.P." storyline.
I liked it better when Stantis was just spewing stupid right wing talking points and lying about what Democrats said two weeks earlier. Now it feels like it's on Stantis' list of things to do before he leaves work for the day, so he slaps together the most boring, unfunny, snooze-worthy strips and phones it in so he can cash his check. I might have gotten frustrated or ticked off at what Stantis used to write, but dammit man - at least I felt SOMETHING.
I get the sense I'm not the only one who feels that way - right CJo? It's to the point where we're all either forgetting we should post something or dread having to do so because there's just nothing really to talk about. Ho hum, Winslow wants to be Obama's veep. So what? Where's the humor there? Where's the conflict? Yeah today he slams Carmen, but that just ends with her threatening to beat Winslow up yet again, which is how she deals with every problem - violence. Now wouldn't THAT be more interesting? That Winslow has to fire her as his VP because she's got a history of making threats and losing her cool, and then she shows up at McCain's side because that's something those two loose cannons have in common?
Oh, wait, that would take more than two minutes worth of constructive thinking for Stantis to make it happen. Nevermind. Tomorrow, Winslow will instead try to fly, he'll fail, and Carmen will say something that Stantis thinks is witty. Lather, rinse, repeat.
Maybe in two weeks we'll get some "Al Gore is fat" jokes since he endorsed Obama last night. Because those are always oh-so-hysterical. At least Stantis hasn't made any "jokes" about Ted Kennedy's medical condition. Yet.

Man, PC joking about Ted Kennedy would be a real car wreck.
