Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for July 07, 2024

: ) nice, feels homey to have those two talking on the radio again.

That’s some impressive tie-dye for the comics

Makes a change from having bad poetry shouted at you.

I have a tie-dyed shirt a little like Jim’s. Just a different color pattern.

I’d swear Jimmy was traumatized, but he looks like that all the time.

Trailbreakers.

“Too Many People” was a great song and Paul’s dig at John and Yoko in it was fairly subtle, but “How Do You Sleep” was a bit much. John later admitted that it was just an expression of how he felt in the moment, and that he didn’t really feel that way about Paul all the time. In fact, they later jammed together in LA and occasionally hung out in NY. One of the great “what if” scenarios came out of the latter, as John later said the two of them were watching Saturday Night Live together at the Dakota when Lorne Michaels offered to pay the Beatles some token amount to reunite on the show. John said they talked about going down to the studio for a laugh but in the end they were too lazy to bother.

Somehow I don’t see Kendrick Lamar and Drake just hanging out a few years from now, though I suppose they might make up one day. Not that I care much about them one way or another, to be honest.

people try to say the stone and beatles had a feud but it was manufactured by the media. the stones have always credited the beatles for opening america and Mick was the one to induct them to the rock and roll hall of fame. That being said the beatle song “And your bird can sing” was a dig at mick’s g/f. Paul was sick of hearing him go on and on about her.

I notice that Gocomics has dropped Doonebury from the Political Cartoons section. They realized that this comic is no longer politically relevant.

And this is a crisis? Who gives a rat’s patootie???

Such genius in a cartoonist- cutting edge slices of life, and subtle but great expressions and stories in a few words and panels, often very funny too.

The eloquence ! It’s almost Shakespearean !

Notice Trudeau won’t acknowledge Biden’s debate meltdown and senility? His TDS is too strong.

Remember, you can’t spell “crap” without R-A-P.

Criminal Trump was hanging out with murderous rappers.

Trump is owned by Putin a war criminal .

Jimmy looks like someone who awoke in the middle of his own colonoscopy.

I guess not every music “rivalry” can end up like Neil Young and Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Okay. I had to look this up in an article from Billboard. Now I get it and it’s kinda funny. I’m 73 and remember the Who and the Beatles, though. ; )

34 felonies don’t make you a “G” when you’re covered in Russian pee! You’re just a punker, hiding in your bunker, rolling like a junker, the only funk is from your tiny orange junk!

Supposedly a few of the lyrics in About Face, Momentary Lapse of Reason, and Division Bell were intended as snipes at Roger Waters. The Division Bell ones are more curious in that Gilmour didn’t write them.

Lyrics by Donnie T?

Jimmy’s always had the OMG look in his eyes.

At least no one called anybody a “THUDPUCKER”.

Yeah, it tough when you run out of adjectives early in your career.

Everybody stands on the shouders of the Beatles.

Why words? Be more exciting if glocks at 10 feet on tiktoc

Anyone else find it odd that GoComics doesn’t put Doonesbury under the political comics anymore?

Yes, everyone does.

I wonder what Jimmy Thudpucker’s son, Feedback, is doing these days.

I miss Rush Limbaugh!

“He stands on the Beatles shoulders.” “Everyone does.”Fitting comments on Ringo’s 84th birthday!

Reminds me of Pink Floyd’s “Wish You Were Here” – written about absent member (and madcap) Syd Barrett.

The beef is not newsworthy. Just two men acting like little boys. Pffft.

I’ve never heard of either of the songs that Jimmy mentions. Or of either of the rappers that Mark mentions. Shrug.

Yeah, no mention of “Make My Day” Brandon but let’s address rap battles. Clueless. Maybe he’ll have something for the second debate. Let me save some time for you thinking you have a reply: “Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah but Trump’s a liar!!!!!!” I hope that captured your responses.

Who? (Not “The” Who, just who in heck are those guys? Anybody I should care about?)

The history of “answer songs” is pretty entertaining. It started looooong before the ex-Beatles.

The comedian Jackie Mason tilted slightly to the right-wing.

But he once hilariously said that he never heard of Bing Crosby and Perry Como getting into a gunfight argument over song lyrics

Best song writing duo of the 20th century, but they’re still overrated…….Boom Boom boom ! ;-) Have a good week folks !

I wonder when Jimmy’s recording career began. He was introduced in 1975.
