Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for August 21, 2016

Damn Velcro straps ruined an entire generation.

I was surprised that the kids didn’t get up and walk out as soon as they were told to ditch their phones. Especially in this Pokemon Go era…

I like this.

A quick-thinking comeback from Sam.

As compared to ……………?

She said Crocs, not crocks.

As the mom of a kid going off to college soon, I’m sure this will hit home fairly soon. At the same time, even when I first left home, I recall that it was an adjustment. Every generation has to learn how to get along in the world independently. In some ways, things have been easier for these kids, but there was also more expected, not just good grades and extracurricular activities, also part time jobs and what is called service hours, many hours of volunteering, etc.

In many ways she’s more a libertarian than a liberal, she’s just totally deluded on gun control being anything other than the ability to hit your target and a government act forbidden by the Constitution.

Hee hee! What a wonderful way to wake up!

Downright Onion-esque in your contemporary surrealism reportage, Gary.

@ Jack’s World, get a massage or a yoga class, your liver’s overheated, and you’re annoying.

You must not crucify humanity upon a cross of gold! Sorry, but my feelings about William Jennings Bryan are just so strong, they overwhelm whatever everyone else is talking about.

Ouch!! This is a low blow to freshman everywhere! Probably true in some cases…..

Initiation is always a drag. Just eat dirt and dream of flowers until it is over.

Trust me, the younger generation doesn’t appreciate it either. The message we’re getting is “You’re too stupid and incompetent to make it in the real world, so don’t even try.”

Wha? No mention of the membership of any of these “neocons, war profiteers, corporatists, moneyed interests, unrepentent [sic original] environmental polluters, committed promoters of fossil fuel fracking, and strident architects of the dreaded TPP” in the Tri-Lateral Commission?Things are really slipping over there in Jack’s World. Remember what I’ve told you over and over and over again – MORE LAYERS OF FOIL!!!

WHUT???

Totally off-topic. And hideously uninformed. Typical Trump supporter.

Perhaps you should check your own “comment” history for references to tinfoil, Mr. World. But then again, I’m sure you are convinced otherwise, as you don’t seem phased whatsoever when confronted with silly little things such as “facts” or “truth,” as your mind seems to be made up, irrespective of the scenario.

Now, giving a quick shout-out to the 16th century proverbs you seem wont to espouse, let’s give this one a go:

“The fish always stinks from the head downwards.”

Who knows, maybe it will come in handy for you in the next gathering of your local debating society. Or do you only “debate” online?

“Now we know for sure whose side she is really on.”.Her own, of course.But it could be worse: she could be Donald Trump.

@montessoriteacher.“My English teacher would like to see you diagram this incoherent, run-on, comma-spliced “sentence”:”.A perfectly good reason to drop diagramming sentences — too inflexible..Try diagramming a Trump diatribe

“Hypocrite much?”.That is a noun, not a verb.

Hypocrite very? would come closer to acceptable for your teacher.

(Only there is no proof of that whatsoever.).Proof?We don’t need no stinkin’ proof!!!(Sorry, practicing my Jack’s World imitations for the talent show.)

“Isn’t there something about cleaning the mote out of your eye before telling others too? From the Bible Book of Stories.”.Beam.You should read more.

libp68 said,@Jack’s World“Do the attendants know you’ve gotten access to a computer? ".It’s their fault for not keeping the crayon supply replenished.(Mine keep me supplied with grape and cherry flavored crayons. I just wish they used the lead-free kind.)
