Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for October 11, 2022

Just one of many surprises for new buyers anywhere.

Panel Four: B. D. using the fourth wall. Unusual for Garry.

Scot is unloading a white elephant—a fact of which Boopsie is unaware, but (I think) BD is.

Congratulations! You haven’t only purchased a home, you also bought a pit into which you will pour endless amounts of money.

Why is it that every house I live in, no matter how new it is, has vital chores that need to be done immediately? Usually something around the toilet, the furnace/AC or the refrigerator.

Ah, the joys of owning an old house …

Welcome to Buyer’s Remorse, the newest reality show.

I saw a commercial from Walden University last night. All these years I thought it was a fictitious school in the comics. It was founded the same year as Doonesbury launched. I wonder…

It looks like he’s holding a martini glass in the first panel

Things that didn’t matter when we were carefree students turn out to be deal breakers.

I know that look, B.D. is looking round the house to see what else needs fixing.
