Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for February 19, 2021

The kids will take care of themselves.

Go to hell, “father” Duke.

Surprisingly caring for Duke… Or maybe he’ll just abandon the kids (who’ve all run off anyway) and use the six to increase his distance from the scene of the crime.

Duke is one of those people who think of absolutely no one other than themselves and believe the rest of the world exists solely to cater to them: A narcissist.

Birds of a feather flock together. Particularly, sh1t birds.

I hear Cancun is lovely this time of year.

This is so Trumpian!

Time to leave town, Duke. How ’bout a little Cruz to Cancún?

Soooo predictable!

And there it is. Beuracracy.

Apparently “escaped out the back” doesn’t mean what I thought it did. Oh well.

This sheriff is remarkably lenient, for someone who hasn’t been getting his cut.

He’s probably just trying to avoid the work, it would cut into his donut break.

This why I loath and detest Duke story lines! There are CHILDREN at stake… A couple weeks ago we were discussing most sleazy characters… Well Zeke still is sleazy, but Duke is soulless, repulsive, damnable, criminal, horrendous, dishonorable, and I am going back to ignoring his storylines. At least Zeke appears with the regular, lovable, or tolerable characters, but not Duke.

I forgot… Who is Duke related to? Why do we have to put up with him very so often? Is he Zonker’s uncle?

He instinctively knows that dumping more than one or two kids in the same town is bound to get on the 6:00 News.
