Crud Is Right
Carmen is a sad panda. She thought she was the only conservative gal worth caring about (sorry Liddy Dole, Kay Bailey Hutchinson, and Olympia Snowe - you don't count). But now Sarah Palin is butting in on her radical neo-con scene, out-Bushing even Carmen - which is really saying something. But since she's a girl, Carmen can at least claim to be cuter, right? Maybe if she started wearing glasses and shooting moose and lying whenever she opens her mouth.
What's really disturbing about today's strip is that second panel. Carmen is going to claim to be cuter and THAT is what she looks like? Here's an isolated shot:
That's all Stantis - I didn't go in there and scribble all over it or alter it in any way. That's how Stantis draws his main character when she's upset. I can't decide what she looks more like...
Richard Nixon?
Or that weird alien baby from the end of "Alien 4?"
I thought that breaking down what exactly Stantis was trying to draw might help a bit:
But I guess if Sarah Palin is the Republicans' idea of a dream candidate, then it makes sense that Scott Stantis is their idea of a good comic strip artist. At least Stantis won't be a heartbeat away from being President - he's just annoying. Palin on the other hand reminds me of someone else:
Anybody remember "The Dead Zone?"
Sorry, but it's a little too easy to imagine President Palin saying, "The missles are flying. Hallelujah. Hallelujah."
Comments
So Scottie's forgotten about Winslow's crush on Condaleeza Rice? And Carmen's attempt to write a paper on Ann Coulter?
Both Rice and Coulter are snappy dressers. I'm nost sure I'd call Coulter cute, though. Rice, maybe.
