Prickly City by Scott Stantis for August 10, 2014

…what am I looking at here?

Interesting images but what’s the narrative?

And just where are Carmen’s parents? She lives out in the wild with only a coyote for a friend? No shelter, visible means of support? And where is she getting that book from?Inquiring minds want to know!

I used to play that game with our pet fox when I was about four years old. We played it around the back of the big living room stuffed chair. She was always careful not to nip me too hard if she caught me, and I was careful not to pull her tail too hard if I caught her.

My parents got rid of her because of my asthma, which actually was being caused by their heavy smoking.

As always, just Carmen and Winslow playing together, not trying to be political or controversial, these are usually Stantis’ best efforts.

Others may find it puzzling or even boring.

But I enjoy it.

For political commentary today, may I suggest Pearls Before Swine! Where Pig gets to say, “Our government is out of control!” Some of you guys might like it.

Hee hee hee!

Ah, ah, ah, Winslow. Don’t do it with that rock! Just look over Carmen’s shoulder and enjoy the book.
