Prickly City by Scott Stantis for September 15, 2024

Two good days in a row! I fully agree!

Regarding yesterday’s Sox and Cubs discussion – hey, we’ve got the Rockies – genuine bona fide doormat of the National League!

And yes, Virginia, there is such a thing as too much Pumpkin Spice! (For me, any PS is too much PS)

Do pumpkins actually have a spice component?

And if not, what are they talking about???

When is too soon? My trucking terminal already decorated for Halloween.

It’s September 15th, that’s official pumpkin spice kick off every year.

Stop trying to make your primitive religion a thing, it’s been wonderful all year.

How many more days will Stantis continue to avoid doing a cartoon of substance?

So? If people don’t want it, they shouldn’t buy it.

America, where seasons are about products.

I’m waiting for pumpkin spice flavored pumpkin spice.

I like pumpkin spice.

The affection (affliction?) with Pumpkin Spice is one thing foreigners don’t understand about Americans and I agree with them.

All this todo about Pumpkin Spice… did one of the Spice Girls put on a lot of weight?

They even make PS beer. The Horror, the Horror ….

Blech….pumpkin spice doesn’t even taste good. I don’t get the hype.

I guess we all know that the various seasons keep expanding because someone’s making money off selling us decorations (or something with pumpkin spice flavor or fragrance).

I saw houses already decorated for Halloween in early September — for a late-October holiday that used to be celebrated on only a single day, and usually only by kids.

I’ve also seen Christmas decorations on sale in Costco in August (at least in previous years — I haven’t been to our local store lately).

The only spice needed for pumpkin is cinnamon and it tastes good on many other things.
