Prickly City by Scott Stantis for October 27, 2024

I said anywhere but here when I lived in AZ, I moved to FL and I’m still saying anywhere but here!

Another really, really incisive cartoon from Stantis. Maybe his podcast partner told him the election doesn’t matter.

Or maybe there’s no such thing as Project 2025.
