Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for April 12, 2016

I’m amazed that this marriage survived.

I’m surprised that Joanie has survived the marriage!

They can bond now about how disgusted they are with Jeff. See how that works?

“It’s a secret, Jeffie.”

Taking a mommy day off. Nice!

That Jeff kid seems pretty bright?

What on Earth happened?

I bet her first husband does’t miss her

Dave Barry’s responses of a husband who has been told he’ll have to get his three children off to school:1. So…do they need to eat or anything?2. They’re in school already?3. There are three of them?

Trudeau and Jane Pauley had a pair of twins, I believe. That would have been more of a hassle. Undoubtedly, they could afford to hire help; I never heard whether they did or not.

I see failure since Joanie never allowed his to learn what to do or how to do it because she couldn’t let go, as shown in the last strip as she feels he can’t do it right so she’ll do it all.

Of course, she probably failed tons of times when she started but forgets that.

Happy Equal Pay Day everyone! GT timed this one just right!

The year stopped showing on the strip, what year is this from?

I think you mean why republican widowers have trouble later in life. They get remarried just so they have someone to sweep under their butts and cook and clean. Goodness knows THEY can’t take care of their own selves for once in their lives…
