That Should Read "Nothing FUNNY Ever Happens Around Here"
Olympian and Presidential candidate Winslow complains that nothing ever happens in Prickly City. Yeah, it's a lame one-off where Stantis gets to draw what he thinks is cool: slugs fighting aliens.
And thus ends (we hope) the worst week ever in P.C. Thongs, slugs, synchronized swimming - all things that Stantis thinks are hysterical, but I doubt any normal person (even Republicans) would laugh at this crap.
Maybe these next few weeks will be better. Two weeks ago McCain had his worst week ever (how quickly we forget Phil Gramm calling us people who aren't filthy rich "whiners"), then followed it up with a week of racist attack ads against Obama (come on, we all know that the message of that Britney/Paris ad is "this 'boy' wants to rape your white women"). Stantis loves to recite Republican talking points, so I'm sure he'll have an easy time of accusing Obama of being "presumptuous" (read: uppity) and comparing him to Hitler. But it won't be easy for Stantis - he supposedly hates McCain, so will he attack Obama like the good little lap dog he's been for Bush? Or will Stantis instead move away from politics completely and keep giving us lame Olympic jokes?
Either way it's clear to see: Stantis doesn't want to do this anymore. So why doesn't he just quit and let somebody else have a shot at making a conservative comic strip?
