Prickly City by Scott Stantis for August 25, 2008
Transcript:
Carmen: The workers shall control the means of production! A plane lands in Denver. Within, Winslow and his armadillo pal, Vaughn, helped Carmen escape from a Chinese re-education camp. Which she was thrown into for carrying the Tibetan flag. Which Winslow had her do because the Prickly City Republic (which, it was discovered, is an independent country) does not have its own flag. Winslow gave up his dream of a gold medal in individual synchronized swimming to save her. An event, it turns out, that is no longer a part of the Olympics. Did we mention that Democratic Convention is in Denver?

Scott Stantis told us that Prickly City DOES have a flag - Carmen and Winslow were both staring at it, and it features a thong. Although I do appreciate Stantis trying to sum up how convoluted this storyline is. I hope he realized how stupid it all sounds, and how many times he’s contradicted himself over the past few weeks.

It didn’t feature a thong; it was a thong! Didn’t you ever go to camp and see some loser’s shorts flying from the flagpole?
