    I can’t understand the complaints. I have not seen these strips before, but they are far more entertaining and funnier than his more recent strips.

    These are a LOT funnier than watching him try not to anger today’s White House too much.

    Then why are you here? Remove Doonesbury from your comics list, it’s easy and you won’t have to put up with it anymore. :)

    I remember wondering why their helmets had no face guards. Could Walden only afford leftovers from the ’40’s?

    Very very few of us here at Doonesbury comments cares in any way you think or say. Why don’t go to Mallard Fillmore and babble about how meaningful and true it is!?

    Go Zonker! Keep up the good work!

    For as long as I could remember, Doonesbury was carried in the Comics section of whatever local newspaper I followed. That was until the late 90s, when the Wichita Eagle began to carry Mallard Fillmore, then both strips ended up in the Editorial section. Eventually yhe Eagle dropped both strips at the same time. Talk about “Fair and Balanced”.

    It’s so cute how you all keep responding to troll gmartin when it’s obvious she has no interest in your comments. .If you look at her posts on other strips, she’s a normal person, but here, she just tosses in a hand grenade daily and departs before it explodes. .Best thing to do is just ignore, that’s all it’s worth.

    “Wow, you would have started off very poorly which is why you are batting a negative 1,000. Keep up the bad work!”.Not that I’m agreeing or disagreeing, but I thought you were going to eschew personal attacks.HARD, AIN’T IT??

    Nope.“Batting 0.000” would an honest evaluation if always wrong.“Batting a negative 1,000” even if meant to mean -0.000 would still mean not only did he get nothing right (unlikely) but that every time the figurative ball came his way, he made someone else wrong.id est, an insult.Not that I mind since I enjoy picturing it, but it’s calling him wronger than wrong.

    “Part of the appeal for me as a young boy was that this strip had to be printed on the Editorial page, because it wasn’t appropriate next to all the kiddie strips on the comics page.”………………………………………………………..Yeah, my local newspaper did that, too…and that played a big part in turning me into a “Doonesbury” fan.

    These strips were written before I was born (1973) but I’m loving them.

    I found a whole book of zonker comics at a book shop. It’s pretty amazing!

    I learned a lot from those editorial cartoons. .I always looked forward to B.D. and his huddles (either on the gridiron or elsewhere). All he wanted was things to be simple, straightforward, coloured within the lines. .and instead – BD got stuck with yappie liberal Mike and happy Zonker.

    Now, I don’t feel quite as safePensacola 3:58 p.m. CDT March 20, 2015.(Photo: Special to the News Journal)CONNECTTWEETLINKEDINCOMMENTEMAILMOREA shot rang out — from somewhere..Was that from the swamp back of my house or was it just my neighbors target practicing? At least nothing hit the house this time, so it could have been worse. (It has been worse in days gone by. Why do people shoot doves anyway?)

    It’s good to have no living enemies. If anybody shoots me, it will probably be by mistake or accident. My odds are usually pretty good..Other people have harder jobs and every now and then find folks who are actively angry at them over something they said, wrote, did or drew. “Those” people lead interesting – even if sometimes short – lives. Some are hated simply because they are members of a group, race, religion, people or profession which is disliked for any reason. Some of those reasons are totally irrational. Some people are totally irrational..Now, I don’t feel quite as safe..Nonetheless, it would be nice for many to know the source of something like a gunshot or threat. I have long maintained every patrol car should have a 360-degree camera recording whatever goes on around it, recorded in such a manner that not even the Secretary of State could delete the records of what happened..Let’s add something which I believe needs to be developed and added. It’s been on my mind ever since someone shot two policemen in Missouri and claimed to be shooting at somebody else but was just a phenomenally poor shot..Anyhoo, the proposal is a tetrahedral array of microphones to locate the source of gunshots..I’ve lost you already. What’s a tetrahedral anything?.In its simplest form, it’s an object with four sides. A regular tetrahedron has all sides the same as the other three. To get the idea, take three straws, Join them end to end to make a triangle. Take three more straws. Put one end at each vertex or corner and bring them up to come together, making a total of four equilateral triangles with four vertices..Put a microphone at each corner of your tetrahedron and mount it on your fuzzmobile. Feed the sounds each hears into your computer to recognize the sound of a gun firing and the time difference for the sound to reach each microphone. With a wee bit of calculating, the four inputs would tell you the center of a sphere of the sound wave caused by the shot..I could tell who was shooting near my house. The police could tell where to duck. It could also help soldiers in combat, guards, spies wanting to listen in on conversations or sound folks at concerts not wanting to put a microphone in front of Lady Gaga..But that’s a worry for another day.
