Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for August 17, 2017

Duke, you better save her. Mr. Trump needs her to plan the Labor Day party.

She was also translator for Mao himself, but I suppose that doesn’t count for much?

Why does the Chinese translate to “one kung pao chicken with egg roll to go”?

Honey wasn’t a translator for anyone. She was an interpreter. Trudeau should have known better: If it’s written, it’s translated; if it’s spoken, it’s interpreted.

And no doubt she would have performed both those tasks.

I’ve heard about running dogs (enemies of the state) and sleeping dogs (which one is supposed to let lie) and of course dirty dogs, but what about my favorite kind, the ones who just bounce around and love you? As Samuel L. Jackson once noted, “Dogs got personality. Personality go a long way.”

How my heart sings to hear the phrase ‘capitalist running dog’ again. Just need a few ‘lackies’ thrown in

What’s so wrong with running dogs? Are walking dogs better (politically speaking)?

Well, if she is a Hooligan, at least it looks like she’s a Happy one.

Or is that too obscure a reference?

Duke’s more of a Capitalist Hammered Dog…
