Prickly City by Scott Stantis for June 25, 2021

Its Global Beatles Day

Think of what you’re saying

You can get it wrong and still you think that it’s alright

Think of what I’m saying

We can work it out and get it straight, or say good night

We can work it out

We can work it out

Life is very short, and there’s no time

For fussing and fighting, my friend

I have always thought that it’s a crime

So, I will ask you once again

Try to see it my way

Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong

While you see it your way

There’s a chance that we might fall apart before too long

We can work it out

We can work it out

Lennon /McCartney

Carmen was cancelled by Republicans for not bowing down to Trump. Are we admitting that “Woke” is nothing more than a shortcut to describe dogmatists — and that the party of the Moral Majority has been practicing cancel culture for decades?

Woke= when the racist don’t like their racism pointed out. A “Karen” was caught on tape berating an Asian Uber driver, and using racist slurs. I wonder if her blood sugar was low.

This may be stantisferstrawmanism’s most pathetic series, yet.

Companies fire people who damage the brand.

Customers don’t give their money to companies who use their influence to harm people.

We call this the “free market.”

Complaining about “cancel culture” and “wokeness” is just a way for bad people yo pretend that there’s something heroic and virtuous about being bad people.

I’ve been pretty much just ignoring the actual strip these 2 weeks. Hopefully he’ll get over it before I get over the strip…

Who was it the other day saying some of “the woke” were just too ridiculous to be legit? They Seemed Like Democratic Activists. They Were Secretly Conservative Spies. They targeted moderate Republicans, too — anyone seen as threats to hard-line conservatives. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/25/us/politics/spies-conservatives-left-political-enemies.html

John Adams: “This is a revolution, dammit! We’re going to have to offend SOMEbody!” From 1776: music and lyrics by Sherman Edwards, book by Peter Stone (1969).

Since Stantis has Carmen spouting garbage contradicting herself every other day, I’ve come to believe, either he doesn’t read what he has written, OR he’s just become too lazy to draw.

sighs and points once again to xkcd

You’re so square.

This is tedious… Just write a column and forget about the toon. Let’s see if its going next week

Beware, if someone starts uniting the right and left, that someone will be quickly assassinated. Fred Hampton comes to mind.

I’m sending a copy of this ’toon to a friend of mine. She needs more manure for her garden.
