Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for February 29, 2020

Sorry, he has tenure and belongs to a union.

I have had severe Teachers and I will be never grateful enough to them .

Miss Goldman, 8th grade English. Every bit the stereotype of the stern middle-aged teacher. Taught me lessons I never forgot, thanks be.

Weeks of prep, for one dumb pun?

“Won’t come back from Deadman’s Curve!” -Jan&Dean

A long way to go for the Jan and Dean reference. Bravo!

Did Doonesbury spent two weeks just setting up a “Dead Man’s curve” pun about grade curves?

Yeah, Harvard now grades on the “dip”.

And so the Beach Boys save the day. …yay

“Mom! Then… then I’ve been dreaming!”

“No, dear. This is the dream. You’re still in front of the firing squad.”

I’ve been reading this strip all week for a lame pun? [Deadman’s Curve]

The new school song is “Pretty Little Dead Girl”.

So that’s why Berke named the character “Deadman.” Long story arc.
