Prickly City by Scott Stantis for March 15, 2024

I finally caught on, emotions are trouble!

They both die when they both win.

What emotions are we voting on here? Hatred, vengeance, retribution?

Reasoning need not apply.

Carmen has never represented reason.

makes me think of neil peart…

How or why?

FALSE REALITY ALERT!!!!!!!!! I just caught the latest DMZ Podcast. It commences with some decent observations of the TikTok situation before it descends into a conversation that attempts to legitimize RFK Jr and Aaron Rodgers, continues their idea that Biden is enfeebled and trumpster fire is running circles around him, decently covers Israel/Gaza, then we git Ted’s clownservation of the Ukraine/Russia circumstances and any possible future acts of aggression on Putin’s part. Stanti does little pushing back on the latter.

did your characters switch parties?

Snoopy and The Red Baron did it better

He keeps repeating this, but it’s really just emotion versus emotion with no reason in sight.

Ok, this arc got really boring many days ago.

Criminal Right wing fascists don’t yield, that’s why every thing is in a mess.

The banners could also be “Facts” and “Chaos”.

I find it strange that this strip keeps portraying “conservative” Carmen as the proponent (I won’t say “voice”) of “reason” and “liberal” Winston as favoring “emotion”.

Stantis continues to push the false nonsense that conservatives are “logical”, and liberals are “emotional”.

One only needs to view a Trump rally to see how false that is.

Why do we even bother reading / following this strip anymore?

In it’s current incarnation the trumpified GOP would not be flying the Reason banner
