Prickly City by Scott Stantis for December 04, 2022

It’s not that bad. YET.

Hey there still 20 days of shopping to go.

On DEC 26, the Super Bowl crap goes out.

I think this cartoon is a commentary on a very different issue than the ones cited above… I agree that lead times in stores for holidays have become ridiculous.

After all, that’s where the big money is. Right?

Oh, didn’t even get that it was Valentines at first… Why are people engaging with the Putin troll?

I don’t get it. 12/4 is my wife’s birthday and has had priority with me for the last 40 years or so. What else is special about 12/4?

I see Carmen is practicing being crucified to be ready for Easter.

Oh, wait. That’s Colorforms Pose Number 8, and has no particular significance of any kind.

Just the day to terminate the Constitution, says former person.

I know it’s meant to exaggerate holiday creep but it’s still unrealistic. Christmas money is the only thing keeping retail afloat.

Earliest I’ve seen Valentines on store shelves was 12/22 and they weren’t for humans they were for dogs.
