Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for July 16, 2021

You picked a black guy to take the hit in place of your girlfriend. What’s happened to you, Mike?

He’s in total confusion.

He’s trying to figure out how he’s going to tell Kim.

Freud, come and have a look at this slip

Nice tap dance.

Slight Freudian slip there.

Mike channelling his inner Steve Forbes

Foot inserted in mouth.

Oops – this looks bad!

Put all of the names in the computer and let it choose.

“Kid”? Dangerously close to calling a man of color “boy” there, Mike.

Freudian slip – where you say one thing but mean your mother.

Even Steven fair and square everybody gets a share. Even when it sucks. Misery loves company.

Losing an account is the Marketing Department’s fault. They should be the ones getting laid off.

Love Doonesbury

Well he doesn’t have to worry about how he’s going to tell Kim now. She will get the news before he even talks to her.
