Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for March 20, 2023

“Maybe, a lemonade — that cool, refreshing drink.”

The Earl of Duke looking for his first, er,…

She was too kind to mention the number of drunkards grabbing her boobs …

Looks like it will get worse before it gets any better for poor Boopsie.

You Can’t Go Home Again, Boopsie.

Earl is the continuation of Duke (and all the other lizards) by other means. At least Earl is polite.

This is where B.D. should immediately fly there and start sorting out the punks.

Then go home. You’re an adult, which is more than I can say for most of they guys here, even the guys who are chronologically older than Earl. Act like it.

Go home, Boopsie. You know you want to.

Never realized Earl was that short.

In this instance with this kid, Boopsie can take care of him without any “childhood scars” to Earl’s Psyche.

Could be worse. Uncle Stupidhead would be wondering why you’re complaining about free drinks.

“Make it a double, kid.”

Tomorrow,Lauren Bacall asks Boopsie to hide her….

You cannot, Earl, because you’re underage; and you may not, because you’re annoying.

Reflecting back on 2003 March 20: The Bush/Cheney Administration had approved the name “Operation Iraqi Liberation” for its invasion of Iraq until someone pointed out what the acronym would be, whereupon it was changed to “Operation Iraqi Freedom”.

This is sad.
