Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for October 01, 2023

Glad to see the Swedish bikini team members also serve their country.

The irony here is that he’s having a much better career than his father is, who is also a writer.

Interesting juxtaposition between this modern Sunday strip and last week’s reruns of dailies from 1999.

As a Swede, it’s always funny to me to see the stereotype of blonde women. To be fair, we do have our share of blondes, but most of us have darker hair.

Very disappointing; I was hoping we’d be rid of that Redfern jerk yesterday.

Is this idiot related to the one that weaseled his way into Walden??!!

James Bond meets the Swedish bikini team. Every heterosexual adolescent boy’s fantasy.

Went to a Swedish company picnic in Texas years ago. Some of the best looking people of all ages I’ve ever seen!

And after we’re done with the training…the spanking!

I know these strips are sent in weeks ahead of time, but what a perfect analogy for the House republican’s behavior this past week!

The Swedish Bikini Seal Team Six!

You’re leaving the Ukraine-Russia front? But who will we have to draw Russian sniper fire with that “shoot me!” red scarf?

If he craves close combat and excitement, become a Macy`s greeter on sales day.

I’m sure the barracks rats are eating it up. Where was he when we were in Lebanon?

As I was reading I was wondering when Trump would get bashed….One in a row.

A talking drone? With feelings?

You would think that an editor who works for a publishing company that tries to sell books at a profit would be quite happy that he’s “still writing to his base”. One would also think that such an editor would have enough awareness of nuances of language to know that writing “to” your base is different from writing “for” your base. The first would be writing letters. The second would be writing books.

The irony is that “Red Rascal,” certainly the flip side of the “Barbie” movie in its ideology, is to an extent equally justified by its apparent popularity (although I doubt members of the former’s “base” would dare publicly refer to “Red Rascal” as “life-changing therapy” as “Barbie’s” base has done).

Interesting that Trudeau drew two of the women with innocent-eyes.

Red Rascal (oh, excuse me, Rosey Rascal) is embedded with the Swedish drone team? Well, Jeff can dream for himself and his fanboys, eh?

So if Jeff is embedded, (wink, nudge) with this team, they are no longer an all-female team. Nor all-Swedish.

I guess this is aimed at military but what is Rascal holding in his right hand as he enters the dorm?

Well Sweden is having problems with gun violence at the moment.

Just becauze it’s called a combat bra doesn’t mean it’s worn on the outside.

Sounds like another best seller is done.

I have brown hair, so does one of my sisters, but my other sister, our father, my niece and her son are all blonde

He should’ve stayed in Ukraine because that’s where the money is

His base doesn’t read.

“Embeds” with an all female…..? Sounds like a great gig (if taken literally).

He needs a girlfriend.

He’s been replaces by a squad of Abrams tanks.

Some commentators from last week apparently forgot that Jeff went on to make something of himself after all. In fact, he made himself into someone else. :-)

Still writing to your base, I see. To be fair, that describes Trudeau as well.
