Prickly City: Difference between revisions

A comic strip of a conservative/libertarian bent by Scott Stantis set in the eponymous Southwestern town. The main characters(frequently the ''only'' characters who appear for weeks at a time) are Carmen, a young Hispanic girl, [[Author Avatar|representing the conservative point of view]] and Winslow, a coyote pup [[Straw Political|representing the liberal view]].

 

* [[A Friend in Need]]: Winslow and Carmen

* [[Anxiety Dreams]]: After supporting Kevin's election

* [[Author Avatar]]

* [[Bad Dreams]]: After supporting Kevin's election

* [[Big Red Button]]: Which disappoints Winslow: no boom.

* [[Follow the Leader]]: After ''La Cucaracha'' and of course ''[[Calvin and Hobbes]]'' (with switched personalities).

** And Winslow's life-long dream of flying. If that's not blatantly copying Opus, I don't know what it is.

* [[It's the Journey That Counts]]: Winslow offers this as an Aesop

* [[Loophole Abuse]]

* [[Missing White Woman Syndrome]]: Kevin's disappearance manages to attract attention despite not being blond.

* [[Multiple Choice Past]]: ...until he starts making contrary claims.

* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: Why, you've gotten the Lost Bunny of the Apocalypse elected to the Senate, what else?

* [[Paper-Thin Disguise]]

* [[Pretty Butterflies]]: Carmen and Winslow admire one one lazy day.

* [[Ripped from the Headlines]]: As with most political comics. For example, in one story Winslow refused to let Carmen buy football cards just because she's a conservative; meanwhile, she pointed out that the football ''players'' are far worse ("drug abuser... deadbeat dad... adulterer...!"). This was based on the controversy over [[Rush Limbaugh]] wanting to buy a football team.

* [[Running Gag]]: Winslow trying to fly, for one.

* [[Schmuck Bait]]: Unsatisfactory for Winslow, since it does nothing.

* [[Screwy Squirrel]]: Winslow sometimes

* [[Shout-Out]]: [[Nineteen Eighty-Four|"Speaking is Action! Spending is Saving! Debt is Stimulus!"]]

** "Real Reality is for Suckers!"

* [[Strawman Political]]

* [[Talk About the Weather]]

* [[Vote Early, Vote Often]]: Rejected. The dead voted only once for Kevin.

* [[Wall of Blather]]

* [[Your Head Asplode]]
