Prickly City by Scott Stantis for March 10, 2022

Do mimes make a lot of money?

Or walking down steps.

I think a mime sends the wrong message. I’d prefer a representative who will voice her opinions loud enough to hit the news. If she’s (or he’s) a twit we’ll find out quickly and do better next time. If she’s good, let’s boost her up.

Inadvertently appropriate. Stantis has trapped himself in a box of his own creation.

Being trapped in a box is an apt metaphor the majority of U.S. voters.

Arizonans love their mimes. They think they’re Frenchmen.

Get yourself an old guitar and sit on the sidewalk. You don’t even have to play well; some people will give you money out of reflex, some to encourage you, and some in the hope that you’ll be able to afford lessons.

(When I was learning guitar, I was walking down the street just doing some basic finger picks, and a woman passing the other way gave me $5.)

Again:

Just go to your local billionaire, determine their agenda, and pledge allegiance to it.

.

Then, it’s just a matter of finding dirt on your opponents and pounding the media with your accusations — with the campaign contributions.

And don’t worry about there being insufficient dirt — it’s politics, so you can use whatever lies your advisors can concoct. Just make sure you stay ‘on message’ and keep pounding away.

Remember about Saddam having nucular weapons, Obama was born in Kenya, Benghazi, Hunter’s laptop, etc.

And remember, Mexico will pay for it.

Definitely an upgrade for a couple of Congressional districts

“SHUT UP AND PRETEND YOU’RE TRAPPED IN A BOX!!!!!!!”

(imagines a different version of this dialogue in this cartoon)

THERE MIGHT BE A BETTER WAY. JUST PRETEND YOU’RE TRAPPED IN A BOX FOR NOW.

Refreshing— politicians not talking! Try listening?
