Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for December 06, 2013

I bet the girl in the red beret knows more about taking care of kids.

Well, at least she didn’t say they belong in other peoples’ houses, or little green bottles full of alcohol. (My view until we had our own. They grow on you.)

Better look at some more candidates, Alex.

Flag him? Really?? Someone would flag for that?

I assume you never made any cracks about your kids to other people. it’s called a “joke.”

Considering she has only been a parent for five minutes…

Jealousy makes for difficult relationships. Even more so when the emotion is founded on facts.

Hey..let’s not forget that Rick and Joanie were both working parents with career aspirations and Jeff turned out..um..er…never mind.

She knows as much as Alex did, or any new mother.

The kids speak!!

Actually these are drawings and dialogue done by a cartoonist we choose to comment on.

Surround the kids with smart people. Should work.

“Politically correct” – anything a liberal doesn’t like.As we all know, nothing bothers conservatives and there are no subjects that they can brook no argument on, hence no political correctness. They’re all about freedom of speech. Aren’t they?

If Mia is a microbiologist, she’s probably pretty smart and responsible. She’ll do fine with the babies (although with some hurdles to figure out along the way). They’ll be looking into microscopes and growing bacterial cultures by age 1, which is what Alex would want with her kids anyway.

So well said. Thank You!

Employment problem? What employment problem? Haven’t you heard? Official unemployemt is way down and everything is going to be just fine. Don’t even think about overthrowing capitalism!

There’s no point in replying to rpmurray. If you look back, you’ll see she drops in fairly early each day, makes a short comment that is only tangentially to do with the strip or other comments, but which is designed to get a response, and then takes no further part in discussion. As a lesson in how to troll, it’s a master class

Zoom out for this one: In 5 years, 9 Chickweed Lane (by Brooke McEldowney) will be the next Doonsbury. You heard it from me first, folks. Trudeau’s not the only genius on the block…

Wow, Trudeau takes another shot at Obama, ‘underemployed’.
