Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for April 17, 2015
Transcript:
Roland: ...and after I lost my cameraman, the bureau decided I could use a little time stateside. So I grabbed the next chopper out. It's not a bad life, but it certainly presents one with some interesting laundry problems. Joanie: I can imagine. Roland: For instance, take these pesky bloodstains on my best safari shirt... Joanie: Bloodstains? Not another firefight in Beirut? Roland: No, a savage beating in Argentina. For reporting the truth as I saw it. Joanie: Hmm... have you tried lemon juice?

For dry blood stains on clothes, try rubbing on a bit of toothpaste. See pictures and details.

Why would lemon juice work on a blood stain?

Looks like even the laundry is attempting to avoid listening to Roland’s drivel!

If you take care of blood on fabric immediately, all it takes is cold water. Lots of cold water.

Don’t bleed for me, Argentina…

I believe it was someone at an Argentinian laundromat tired of listening to him blather on.

No, it is what inspired Bill O’Liar and his Falklands “reporting”.

When I worked in a hospital, we used peroxide to bubble blood right out of our lab coats. Works like a charm.

I hope they run Roland’s trip to Reagen’s brain.

“the truth as I saw it”, Roland there is a future for you in politics

Hydrogen peroxide works better than anything elseI’ve ever used on stains (including blood). Of course, it goes without saying, the sooner, the better.

Too bad they didn’t have OxyClean back then.

Keep in mind current events of the time included the Falklands war.

Trudeau is so keen a satirist, he can make jokes about topics 33 years in the future.

Try hydrogen peroxide or Perrier.

Yeah, his career began in 1970, and while the photo on that page doesn’t show the sideburns, I’d say 70’s Geraldo looks pretty similar to how Roland is drawn.

I simply LOVE the Libtards on here repeatedly slamming Fox news when Fox News didn’t even EXIST (still 15 years in the future) at the time of the Falklands War. Either that or those selfsame libtards don’t know this is classic Doonesbury.
