Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for January 04, 2016

23 MILLION! He can by a round or two for the entire medical school.

“I’ll pay it down as far as I can.”

Reminds me, at this writing Powerball is up to $400 million.

Honey, rich people don’t pay their bills.

Maybe a nice piece of artwork. Something by Monet would look good.

Honey, now you are talking silliness.

But the dog ate the ticket…. : )

I love the idea of carrying a bar tab at a medical school. Plus the fact that Zonker is genuinely EXCITED about something. That fact that it’s money that has so stirred him is an unexpected bonus.

When Duke finds out, he’s in Serious Trouble..Not to mention all the “Relatives” he never even Heard of before..And the Preachers who got a Message Straight from God demanding he hand over Gods Share. To the Preacher, of course.…

I buy lottery tickets to contribute to the state, not just to win. I’m satisfied to lose money if it goes to services that wouldn’t get done because people are too stingy with their taxes. I know that one person does win the big money and several others win the smaller amounts, whatever the odds. I know that odds are 100 percent that at least one person wins. But that’s not the point. The point is to fund public services, not myself. And it’s my money to lose or win as I like, not anyone else’s to tell me what to do with it.

Zonker is fortunate that Mom doesn’t take after her brother, Duke. Otherwise, she would have cashed in the ticket herself.

Now you can make a donation to Duke’s “Baby Doc” school

Finally, the arc many of us have been anticipating!
