Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for October 08, 2017

A young lady in a checked flannel shirt IS a thing of beauty…

At least he’s trying, Zonk.

The lady should feel lucky she’s not being hit on by some guy talking about his exploits in Berzerkistan.

I was going to comment that we finally have a Sunday strip that’s free of Trump tromping. But it appears to be self-starting.

Zipper should try the line: Do you like to clean barns?

Trump ruins everything.

Why does the gay weed guy want to pick up a girl? He’s blowing his cover.

Zip has a cow? Or is he milking mountain goats?

John Denver is dead, but his “Rocky Mountain High” ain’t.

“How about a roll in the hay? No, really, I have hay. Lots and lots of hay.”

Growing weed commercially, outdoors, in the mountains? Hey I’m not a farmer (or a smoker) but I’m a Coloradoan, and that’s downright unrealistic & silly. The grow season at 7 – 10k’ is way shorter than down here at a mile high! C’mon, do your homework! (Or, maybe “in the mountains” is figurative and not literal). Anyway, rock on, GB, you make me laugh!

Perhaps a better opening line would be a reference to the mountains of ganja he can go home and roll around in. (“Yep. I like to dive around in it like a porpoise, and throw it up in the air and let it hit me on the head.”)

Just an “It’s life” strip this Sunday, except the last frame, which seems to communicate that rural people (Zip) are clueless people who cling to their guns.

I don’t get it – why is this funny?

You’re correct; it’s not sarcasm, it’s idiocy.

Obligatory reply to “Have you ever churned butter?”Is that what the kids are calling it these days?

Go churn your own butter.
