Running...From The RNC
Hey, guess who doesn't have the balls to make fun of the Republican National Convention? That's right, Scott Stantis!
Apparently it was too much work for Stantis to plan for the RNC, seeing as how he had just written storylines in advance for the Olympics and the DNC. It's as if he looked at his calendar for August, saw Beijing and Denver, then figured after that he could just go back to Winslow running for president. Turn the page, Stantis: it's September, and the Republicans have their own convention. Complete with "V for Vendetta" security!
It's understandable though. Stantis realizes that he has to fall back in line behind his party's leadership, even if he supposedly doesn't like John McCain. I guess if even nutjobs like Dobson are bowing before St. McCain then it was only a matter of time before Stantis got on board the Straight To Hell Express. Maybe that's the bus that Carmen was on yesterday, since otherwise that strip had nothing to do with anything.
So instead of making fun of John McCain and the Republican lobbyists he calls a staff, we're going to get...Winslow for President. Didn't that storyline get run into the ground months ago? And it was never, ever funny? Well if Stantis isn't going to do it, I might as well. Have you seen the latest campaign ad for the Republican ticket?
Funny cuz it's true. Oh, and let's not forget Johnny Boy's wandering eye:
Now that's comedy. Your next President and Vice President, ladies and gentlemen!

Oh boy! Even though Prickly City has been an independent republic since the early '90s, even though it had a primary as if it was a state earlier this year, even though it fielded its own independent Olympic team, even though it has its own coins and flag, even though its resident VP candidate is underage and its presidential candidate is a fucking animal -- in spite of all that, Winslow is still running for President of the United States. Because that totally makes sense.
In other news, am I the only one who actually likes Vaughn? Maybe it's just by comparison to Carmen and Winslow, whom I loathe.

I agree, Chris.
At the risk of sounding pretentious, I feel that the dramaturgical dyad of Carmine & Winston, although the foundation of the strip, had grown a bit stale, and that the addition of Von has created a new totally outrageous paradigm.
I have to go now. My planet needs me.
