The hick of today is a stunning sophisticate compared to his counterpart of only one or two generations ago. Often flaunting an Ivy League education and a job in the public eye requiring diplomacy and social nuancing, today’s cracker, compared to yesterday’s in terms of sophistication, is as Rand Paul is to Harry Truman, or as Jeff Daniel is to Oliver Hardy, or as Miley Cyrus is to Minnie Pearl. You would never guess how many influential politicians, trend-setters and opinion-mongers are actually outlanders from benighted states like Ohio and Texas and Kentucky, but grown remarkably adept and refined.

My apologies to anyone who thought I was going to have Winslow and Dr. Spiderqueen actually start some sort of relationship. That was never the intention with this last series of strips. My job, as the creator of this strip, is to present the characters with a comfortable level of constancy. I’ll let the fans worry about shipping characters. That’s their job.

NotMyMother*****She’s an amazing girl! She’s gorgeous, smart, funny, stunning, brilliant. I don’t know why she can’t find a man.

Was this review…? *Helpful *Obligatory *Worthless

Dr. Spiderqueen might be a doctor and a queen and a woman, but Winslow has failed to realize that she’s also an anthropomorphic spider, and that should probably cause even more concern. I mean, she’s poisonous and capable of spinning her own webs. Shouldn’t that worry you, Winlsow? Shouldn’t it?!

The cuddly Easter Bunny. I’ll do my best to avoid the hack topic of “What does a rabbit have to do with Jesus?” but I’m not making any promises. This ‘wascally wabbit’ doesn’t give off nearly as big a creep factor as Santa, but this is a text book case of narcissism.
