Transcript:
Soldier: Rosey, did Wheeler and her team leave for home yet? Rosey: Yes, sir... their flight just departed for Kabul. Is there a problem? Soldier: Hope not. Just wanted to warn her there's an embed aboard. Mel: Sorry? Roland: I said, we're winning, right?

Can’t they just drop Roland out the cargo ramp?

I am quite willing to accept it as a given that some readers of this strip are unhappy that there are reruns all this summer. That being said, it does not need to be said again (you know who you are). Just remove Doonesbury from your MyComics collection until September and quit cluttering this forum with complaints.

Regardless, it’s interesting to see Leo before his injury.

I for one enjoy the reruns. They are as funny/sad/though-provoking now as they were when first published. Heck, at my age, everything’s a rerun.

Still reruns. I’ll check back in next Monday.

That’s a nice thing about the Afghan war: you can run a rerun from a year ago (or ten years ago) and it’s still current. Very convenient.

The terrible thing is that strips about Afghanistan are just as relevant now as they were ten years ago. But Iraq is no longer cartoon-worthy, since it’s just Moslems killing Moslems again without American involvement.

Well, fewer perhaps, but like cockroaches they are never entirely gone.Sad, but true.

Even though Roland was originally inspired by Sam Donaldson, the similarities are superficial. Roland became an archetype of the sort of journalist who makes superficial stories (and his own superficial self) bigger than they really are. I don’t see any satire of the real-life world in today’s strip (unless there are real-life troop-annoying embeds I don’t know about) – I just see the Roland that always was.

I wouldn’t bet the farm on that…

And all this time I thought Roland was based on Brit Hume…
