Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for April 15, 2019

An unemployed actress for a wife. A new baby. He needed a steady paycheck with health insurance.

Got a new helmet there BD to add to your collection.

So, B.D. eventually copped out?

And we’re back to non-political cartoons again…

Come on! Draw the motorcycle!

Seems like a natural step for B.D. A job with a helmet that does not actually involve producing anything, like a building or something.

That would be the perfect job for BD.

Sid better hope he’s been really nice to Boopsie lately!!

(Offering a bribe to a cop is probably not a good idea!)

I agree.

I don’t know, this seems like a rather contrived scenario and the date on the comic is 1992. Might this be an allegory to the Rodney King riots?

It doesn’t help your case when the cop knows what a low-life you are, Sid.

The chickens have come home to roost.

This is new for me. I don’t remember B.D. being a P.O. Sadly, a lot of my pre-1999 brain cells are on hiatus somewhere. I hope they’re having a better time than I’m having on Tax Day.

BD is just getting revenge for all the money Sid has siphoned out of Boopsie’s accounts over the years.

BD never much cared for Sid. Payback time!
