Prickly City by Scott Stantis for October 05, 2021

Polarizing politics?

Stantis would NEVER contribute to THAT, now would he? ’Cause both sides do it. Ya know, equally, right?

.

Okay, okay. Even if he does, It’s OKAY If A Republican* Does It!

‘The world’ is the US?

“Doctors at Providence, which has now put into place “crisis standards of care” that provide legal clearance for the challenging process of rationing health care, said the process had been traumatic. They have been consulting an ethicist and a triage team. Few have experience navigating such difficult ethical terrain.”

“The patient who died after being denied emergency surgery was not the only one to undergo a triage choice. In one case, two patients needed continuous dialysis but only one machine was available. Doctors placed one patient on the machine and then switched it to the other. The first patient then died.”

—) Has the green Alien incorporated chloroplasts into his skin to enable an advanced process of photosynthesis? If so, that is one race of aliens we should welcome. Such Plant People would inhale our excess carbon dioxide, eat animal (and human) excrement, be non-competitive with humans for food. (It would be ideal if they also ate discarded plastic.) They would exhale oxygen, be a breath of fresh air wherever they go!

And judging from the representative above, they would be articulate and polite — not like that rude Thing From Another World in the movie. An intellectual vegetable? Yes, “The mind boggles!”

Maybe this signals the peak? Like the cover of Time being the end of a fad. Authoritarianism fades, Auntie realizes Q is a moronic Nazi 2.0 movement, cats & dogs living together… McConnell allows our bills to paid. Ok, the last one is an unrealistic fantasy.

Can anyone in there right mind imagine a Totalitarian world leader like Dynamic Joe. More like “The Whispering Toiletarian”.

Q-ish commenters seem to think the public at large is conversant in the fantasy fomented at Fox.

Yeah, Stantisferwillfulignorance, we should be able to get along with the party promoting vaccine ignorance and populist behavior……always with the confiscating. As for the totalitarianism, we are not China……….that is not our problem…..our problem is DAs and people like you, who protect them.

I never watch TV, but I’m tempted to start, just because of how much everyone loves that show. As far as I can tell, though, you need to subscribe to Apple to watch it.

Refuseniks of the sillier sort

Just take the Republicans to that exoplanet in yesterday’s strip.

Problems solved.
