Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for May 29, 2015

I entered Whatever in Google maps and came up with Whatever Tattoo on St. Marks Place, NYC.

Based on Duke’s bearings, I’m beginning to see the problem.

Actually it’s more like 9,000 miles from Miami to the Falklands by boat, since you have to go around Brazil.

Google Maps search “A”.WHATEVER Art Bed & BreakfastAv. Defensores de Chaves 581000-121 LisboaPortugal

Cruising at 18 knots, that boat would be lucky to have fuel enough for 600 miles. I expect they will run out of fuel any minute now.

It’s only supposed to be a three hour tour…what could possibly happen??

Oops — shouldn’t the course heading be “steer whatever by thataway”?

(Continuing a line of thought from yesterday – thank you @Mountaingreenery)

No, they’re certainly not on the HMS Troutbridge, but would they run into her in the Falklands? Or more likely, vice versa, very literally? Assuming someone in the Admiralty is fool enough to send Troutbridge TO the Falkland conflict? Oh, dear…

Putting aside that disturbing thought, here’s another disturbing thought – I wonder if Duke is a distant relation to the Pertwee clan?

Why, yes, I listen to BBC Radio online. How did you guess?

…and if we swerve by Monte Carlo, let’s stop for a bit. I’ve got some … stuff … we gotta do there…
