Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for January 18, 2010

At last! Someone on the son’s side.

Dr. Shiply is a wise man.

How much you want to bet that Dr. Shiply did a tour in ‘Nam back in the day?

nothing like known relatives. love this .

Had him sweating bullets, didn’t he.

Compassion???

This is a nice story line. Makes me smile. Both in college and in the military, I knew some wonderful people and some total jackasses.

um: alarm clock.

His mom would probably turn off an alarm clock, if she wants to sabotage his future and keep him at home. Is there a password protected, battery operated alarm clock he can bolt to his bedside?

How does he know his mom? (:-]

Wise professors know that most of their class is dozing intellectually even when they look at you brightly and take notes. The trick is to make the class realize that thinking is worth the effort because arguments can have real-world consequences.

I noticed he had no problems popping tall and sounding off in the last panel.

Yes, her name is Alex.

Joe-Allen..Yeah..I was one of those 19 year old E-5 Sgts in the Nam. At 19, I had already finished 1 tour of Nam, and started the second. Tax-free money..And I needed it. Spent several years over in The Nam, Oki-knockknock, Japan, etc..

This one speaks to my soul. If only I’d had a few profs like this!! :))

@pksampso: Roger that.

It’s good to find people who have actually BEEN there. It bugs me how many people who just don’t understand the military or the people in it have resolved that they really don’t WANT to understand.

24 years USN, been there and done that.

Yo, This comic is so good! This is why I love Doonesbury, It’s realistic and incredibly clever, and full of Lovable, Entertaining, and awesome characters and situations, So well written, Is There any other comic series like this?!
