Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for October 14, 2012

I wonder if Duke remembers the 3 minutes that created Earl.

Ewwwwwww – I don’t want any popcorn now.

I’m surprised that president-for-life Bmzklfrpz has a real job.

“… folks who have nothing better to do while their microwave popcorn is popping than watch the countdown on the microwave clock.”

I’m one of ’em. I watch in order to memorize the exact number of seconds needed to produce optimized popped corn. Neither too much (too many burned popcorns) nor too little (too many unpopped kernels).

that idea is brilliant. has to better than infusing ghost chilis into vodka.

I vote this Best Satire Yet. Or at least for quite some time.

Perfect content: Gocomics.

Thee minutes The time dedicated to the lead news story on the nightly news.

So nice to see the offspring really is a chip off the ’ol blockhead. heheheeee!

I want Honey to tell him what she’d do with those 3 extra minutes.

A “real” job? You mean to insuate that “President for Life” is NOT a real job?! How dare you…!

Earl is way behind the curve, SnuffySmith had a TV built into a stove 40years ago.

I wonder if Duke is Pinnochio in disguise. Notice how his nose has grown since 08july1974? Hee hee. Mr. Trudeau really likes those elongated schnozes. Being extremely long snouted meself, I have no complaints.

I don’t watch the timer, but I do listen so I know when 95% of the kernels have popped. Then I shut off the microwave so the popped corn doesn’t burn. It’s a lonely existence.

Please donate to “K9s for Wounded Warriors”. I don’t know where I would be without my dogs.

The future is here! The real question is how can Duke still pull off smoking in a bar?Or is this part of the fantasy smokers all share?

Another funny strip with Duke, though certainly not as great as the recent Romney in France story line.

“BMZKLFRPZ gouges out U eyes and SHOWS ’em to ya.” Silly Bmzklfrpz! That only works once.

Some urinals have ads, too. They get you filling and emptying.

He’s probably onto something, once the microwaves come with mini HMI touch screens talking with the home wifi it’s only a matter of time.

I guess I’m still old fashioned. I pop my popcorn the old fashioned way: 1 cup of corn with a little oil ( prefer olive oil ) in an old, covered, 3 quart sauce pan. With a little attention, comes out great !

I said pop CORN, not po—… never mind.

Three minutes? How about ‘The Complete Wisdom of the Republican Party’? They could show it six times!

You could really rake in the dough from the innovation if you had the adult entertainment audibly and visually inform you as to when the popcorn is nearing completion. Yes! Yes!!! YEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!! Popcorn’s done!

Rock, roll and remember the 60s with Gene Chandler’s Duke, Duke, Duke, Duke of Earl Duke, Duke . . . .

A lot of casinos still seem to allow smoking (along with bars of course). One hit of the tobacco/nicotine air in a casino/bar is enough to give you asthma/emphysema/whatever lung related disease you can think of.

How come no trolls? Did we flag ’em off?

According to GOP principles, Duke would make a better GOP nominee than O’MItt.. Better yet, Bmzklfrpz.

Susan! Babygirl! Where are you now that we need you? Pls answer gmartin997.

Congrats to the NFL champs, (I hate the sound of that) still no answer for Cruz. So much for “brimming with confidence.” I’m with the announcers, forget about this game time for the NLCS.

Chanelling Christopher Hitchens??

Here we go again, congrats to the Card fans. Once again the champs are a handful. The baseball god is not great.

This has to be the most FOX I’ve watched in a couple of years.

Yes, that is always the case. Fox is the propaganda arm of the GOP. MSNBC does the bidding for the Dems.

Earl is a bit behind the times. I distinctly recall a microwave on the market, ummm…., maybe 15 years ago – that had a small TV screen built-in above the keypad.

It may be 3 minutes, but it feels like 3.25 minute.
