I wish I had this guy's cell plan
Yes, I was twice nominated by the Washington Post for Webcomic of the year. And, yes, I do love comics.
Now, let's move on to something I hate.
Prickly City.
I admit that I am a liberal and that may sway my judgment of this comic, but this comic BLOWS.
Look at Saturday's example.
The first three panels are photoshopped due to the cartoonist's heavy workload. But not surprisingly, he wasn't too busy to sign the comic twice. When you write at a level of a Scott Stantis, the world must know that you're the author. For fullest effect, I'd suggest signing twice in each panel next time.
IMHO, Prickly City has the good fortune to be a conservative comic in a world where newspaper editors are looking for balance. Here's how it probably shook down:
Prickly City sales guy: Aren't you tired of getting complaints about Doonesbury from your right-leaning readers?
Tired editor: Yes.
Prickly City sales guy: Well, have I got a comic for you. It's by a right-wing editorial cartoonist and ...
Tired editor: Sold.
Prickly City sales guy: Don't you want to see the samples?
Tured editor: No need.
Prickly City sales guy: (Phew!)
(and I'll go high road and not mention that he didn't spell SECURITY right. The Scott Stantis is not about proper spelling, he's about big ideas!)
All the best,
Melange

Hey! Glad there's finally somebody to fill up some spaces.
But anyways, I couldn't see the strip (too small) and never read Prickly City; excuse me for asking, but how was it liberal? I made out something about airport security and Theodore Roosevelt; is that it?
Hi I fixed image. Sørry.
The joke isn't conservative in nature but the comic is. I'll get deeper into the laziness and out-of-touchness of Mr. Stantis in future posts.
Ah, wondrous, I love me some excellent hate!
