Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for September 17, 2008

Oooh, I’m shivering with anticipation. (For real!) The Yangtze river would be cheap, compared to some places. I wonder what the wife will add.. Postponed sounds so much better than forgotten. Forgotten takes less brain cells, but postponed – my guess is that Rick is about to start feeling like a young man again. Depends on the wife somewhat. For some of us, this is the suspenseful stuff. During negative shocks one just functions, and why bother to get excited; but when there is springtime in the air, and so many good possibilities to choose from, – WOW.

Maybe he can get a job as Duke’s press agent. LOL

Duke would order him to say whatever it took so people would smile at Duke. Done. So then Duke would find out that he has said many good things, which he has not said, and promised to do many useful things, which he has not promised. But he has to do them, because now the people are expecting it and would be v e r y d i s a p p o i n t e d; and so – Lo, the new Duke. Like an ugly duckling becoming that very famous and long lived swan. Nah, probably Duke would see the end from the beginning and chicken out from hiring said p.r. primo.
