Or the world a pair of good. I, so hate Mallard Filmore for its spastic unimaginative irrelevant knee jerk conservative commentary. It isn’t the conservative Doonesbury by a hundred miles. Prickly city though I feel is a bit more fair and treats its characters as more than cardboard cutouts. Ramirez who cartooned for the LA times would have been a better pick.

Did the artwork in Prickly City recently improve *slightly*? I thought maybe Stantis went off the sauce or something, but it seems just a skosh less scribbly lately. Like instead of the messy scrawl on the girl’s face that’s meant to represent enormous lips, now there’s something more lippy and less scribbly.

Mallard Fillmore is a heap of steaming DS that only gets newspaper space because some editor thinks it “balances” out Doonesbury’s supposed liberal stance.
Prickly City, on the other hand is not conservative but Libertarian. True the artwork can be attrocious, but its not dogmatic and sometimes doesn’t even contain political content. BTW, the current arc bashing the Tea Partiers should remove any doubt that this isn’t a conservative strip.

Was Lalo Alcaraz operating the video camera? All three comics are shit.
I wonder what’s in Tinsley’s cup besides coffee?
I think this would do the pair of them a world of good.
Did they have a threesome with the guy who does “State of the Union”?

hahaha! i love the 1-2-3 joke pileup in that last frame. that’s good comedy writing!
The text has no unneeded words AND a punchline – unlike “Mallard Fillmore”.
The art tells the story – unlike “Prickly City”.
There’s a reason there is almost no conservative humor.

Prickly City not dogmatic? It has more talking points that Fox News editorial meeting.
