Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for September 17, 2015

Has Elmont performed 2 miracles?

He has to die first to become a saint. If he’s done that, then being alive would count as one of the miracles.

Saint schmaint, he sounds more like a Republican candidate for whatever.

He has changed wine into water a couple of times….

There don’t seem to be any easter egg/changes in the panels today.

Sure pope Francis will call you by phone he is used to do it with normal people sometimes

Some of you must be pretty young to not remember that Democrats were against deficits during the Reagan presidency, mainly because they were against increases in the defense budget. Why do you think Trudeau included Lamont’s rant in today’s strip? It wasn’t because he could foresee the political positions of the early 21st century.

Well, and that would be because Reagan wanted a balanced budget. Not that he ever proposed one. But he was going to have his huge military budget, so he was essentially telling the Democrats, “You be the bad guys by cutting social spending, and I’ll be the good guy.”Oddly, the Democrats said, “No, thanks.”
