Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for April 02, 2021

Moral of the story: Don’t play blackjack while on acid.

Pretty flashy backgrounds for Trudeau.

I wonder if Duke even made it to the Casino.

The moral: You’ll always have your attitude!

The fact that Earl knows the meaning of the word “moral” proves that Duke didn’t raise him.

Don’t bet without knowing when the odds are good.

“Never put money down unless you’re sure in advance you will win.” – Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel

The only way to beat the house is to bet on a Trump casino going bankrupt.

If there was such a thing as a foolproof system, they wouldn’t call it “gambling,” they’d call it “winning”.

Hope poor Earl survives this “training”…(and yes, I have read some of the later strips) :D

The moral of the story is that he didn’t have much of a life’s savings to begin with.

The moral is, casinos are for stupid people.

I’m thinking that more of a lesson than a moral, but I get it.

Like stories, Duke has no morals.

Don’t bet your room key so at least you’ll have a place to sleep.

Guy drives to Vegas in an old $500 Chevy. Comes back home in a $250,000 Greyhoung bus.

“Ya shoulda bet your shorts. You never know when your luck might change.” Elmore Leonard, “Glitz.”

The moral is that the house always wins. Unless, of course, Donald Trump is running the house. Then the house goes broke.

The moral is that the guy was “The Golden Pigeon”.

Better to be The House than the Sucker!

Once you’ve won noticeably more money than you came in with in the first place, put THAT amount of money back in your pocket and KEEP it there. That way, no matter what happens, you at least break even.

Read once in Reader’s Digest about a Sunday school where the teachers tended to end Bible stories with “And the moral of the story is …” Except for one teacher. The kids said they liked her best because she “doesn’t have any morals.”

The kid is confused about the difference between the Moral of a story and actually Having Morals.

Bugsy Siegel supposedly said that the only way to double your money in Vegas was to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.
