Prickly City by Scott Stantis for May 20, 2021

“NOW” has to be “WON”

Else it’s all palindromic!

Red pill does no good with big clunky viewer on your head.

“You know, Carmen, with these goggles on, you look and sound just like an elderly white male cartoonist, not a Latina child. Isn’t that weird?”

I’m reminded of the passengers aboard the star-liner in the Disney film, WALL-E, ensconced in their moving recliners with the screen before their eyes. At one point, a woman is accidentally bumped off her recliner, and says in surprise, “I didn’t know we had a pool!” Great movie.

“We are becoming more and more disconnected from reality”

I fail to see, and always have, how that can possibly be a bad thing. I took a long hard look at reality when I was still in single digits and decided I wanted no part of it nor have my unavoidable encounters with it changed my mind.

All you mad politicians are talking nonsense that’s totally irrelevant to this strip.

SciFi fusion; get into the matrix; get a cyber upgrade; you will be assimilated, resistance is futile; legend has it humans regain control in the Butlerian Jihad; the future belongs to those who make it.
