Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for October 20, 2012

But does Mark giggle like a 12 year-old girl when Gérard Depardieu is mentioned?

If Mark could only bottle and sell his insecurities, he’d be a millionaire.

At last Mike takes a clue from Kim and just ignores this insensitive “friend”.

Refresh my memory. Isn’t Mark Mike’s brother ? Or was he his college roommate ?

Mark was originally known as Megaphone Mark, a reference to his college activism.

I don’t think Mike is qualified to judge Mark’s hotness.

’I’ll say again, as did Todd Rundgren, ’We’ve got to get you a woman…’

Get Mark a woman, and he’ll treat her as a sister. Maybe he could reunite with Chase for a bit of kissy-face-huggy-bear making up?

But in case Mark doesn’t really need a neocon to groove on, maybe Chase could stand good for a round of business-card networking leads? It’s not like Chase is obligated to care. Furthermore, he may already be a cog is Romney’s campaign machine with an eye toward higher and better things once the Mittens — oh, heaven forfend — elevates to the most powerful position in the world. Would you believe Chief-of-Staff? No? Hows about Sct.-of-State? No too?

OTOH Mark so doesn’t even need a neocon in his life. Better for him a top DC date-scout registered ad agency?@ $999.99/hr. tops? Or maybe a guide-dog-for-the-gay? @ only $99.99/hr. tops? How ’bout a guide-gerbil-for-the-gay @ a rock-bottom $9.99/hr. minimum wage? (Payment in advance required.)

It appears Mike has finally gone full Republican: he’s concluded that a friend in need is not a friend indeed, but a pest.`Also, Why didn’t Mike just say good night and then turn his cell phone off?`(Rhetorical question. Yes, I know why: this incongruence is how GT continues the story line while showing Mike’s disinterest.)

Mark, you be the judge, you look like Dave Foley.

Mark should start folling SC on twitter. You never know. The right tweet might bewitch him.

Bring back the Megaphone Mark we knew in the beginning.

Wonder how this was resolved last year? Someone refresh my memory…

Why doesn’t Mark just send the picture to Anderson Cooper, that’ll get Chase’s attention.

Yeah, Mark, you’re real hotzzzzzzzz.

What’s the timeline here? Mark’s hair has been white for longer than “a few months”.

Is it just me or does Mark look a helluva lot like John Astin?

Isn’t BD Mikes bro?

“… free meals and food stamps ever to 46 million people.”

Dwarfed only by gov’t approved oppression of the people by the 0.1% inherited, leisure class such as Paris Hilton.

Only one of the guys grew up…
