Prickly City by Scott Stantis for January 23, 2023

Drawn larger than actual size. Much larger.

Still anxiously waiting for an identification of a moderate Republican legislator.

One might think there is No Such Thing.

BTW, I don’t often give Stantis a ‘like’, but every now and then…

Considering I don’t think McCarthy has a backbone or spine, not a bad strip today.

The spine of SPINO* McCarthy.

*SPeaker In Name Only

I wouldn’t even call him “Speaker” since that’s an honorific that he hasn’t earned. He may have won, finally, the office, but all of the concessions he apparently granted to earn the office make it doubtful he’s truly speaking for any majority. Gosar, Santos, and Greene, to name but a few, have no business sitting on the committees he’s named them to. I refuse to use titles for those who haven’t earned my respect.

He had a backbone???

Did he ever actually have one?

he lost it when he was first elected

Stay safe and healthy my friends.

He has the vertebrae of gelatinous zooplankton. Equivalent to that of all of the former president’s sycophants.

Is it going back to him, or running (inching) away?

Looks like a worm. If the show fits…

I was going to say, in some surprise, I thought it was Lindsey Graham’s. But his spine left LOOOOONG ago.

Quite a strong one since he was willing to compromise with America First.
