Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for August 03, 2022

Sam, you’re 5. You can only do so much finger painting and playing Candyland.

Gotta wonder: will BD and Boopsie be arrested for child abandonment??

After all, Zonker is hardly a fit guardian!!

I wish Trudeau had done more with Sam. He didn’t really seem to know what to do with her character. Alex got a LOT of major storylines but all he did with Sam was a few strips about her in college and a couple of strips here and there.

Okay, I’m sure zonk can make the time disappear with a little smoke but Sam is a different story. Swing sets and monkey bars for everyone.

Gotta love this kid.

She’s going to get so tanned !

“Carte blanche!”

“Yeah, Blanche’s cart is pretty loaded…”

Yeah, but living in Malibu, the mind does wander …

Leaving Zonker alone in the house is worse than leaving Sam alone in the house…..

Operation Tiffany Farrell!

Sid needs to sign Sam and Zonker up, pronto. With that ability to control their expressions, they have a great future in Hollywood.

BD has know Zonk a long time, doesn’t he see the flaw in that plan.

Leaving a teenage girl and a stoner alone in the same house. Sure the property values will collapse by weeks end.
