Prickly City by Scott Stantis for July 17, 2016

The wolf is only as strong as the pack.

Hmmmm, not what Ayn Rand says. But what does she know? She’s dead.

Sundays are the reason I still follow this strip. And today is a beautiful example of why.

“To Serve Mankind”Not a philanthropic work. (Look it up if you haven’t seen the many references on GoComics)

I swear by my life, and my love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.

Note to kevin78661 re splumb:It was a John Galt quotation.

Hmmmm, not what Ayn Rand says. But what does she know? She’s dead.I’m no Ayn Rand expert, but I don’t think she had a problem with voluntary service. What she objected to was coercion. After all, serving others is how a business makes a profit.

Often Prickly City reminds me of Lil Abner or Pogo – an amusing mix of snarky politics some days and thoughtful philosophy on others. That is as good as it gets.
