Missed It: Prickly City Subbed Out in Chicago Tribune for Kennedy Reference

The Chicago Tribune seems to have replaced yesterday's episode of Prickly City with a substitute strip according to this astute blogger. That seems weird for a number of reasons. One, it's strips working the other side of the political spectrum that usually get this treatment. Two, it seems to me this isn't really a political point being tweaked but more of a in-bad-taste yank, although I'm not likely to convinced most people of that. Three, I would think that Scott Stantis would have some substitutes just sort of generally available now; from what I've read, the strip doesn't depend on tight continuities. Maybe he's refused to.

Thanks to Sean Collins for the link.
