Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for December 01, 2024

Some people never do develop any tact…..

Mike’s head looks bigger in the last panel than in the other’s. Could what Rosie said given him a swelled head??

Still no anti-Trump Sunday strips yet. Maybe Garry is waiting until the inauguration.

…how long IS this guy’s lead time? It’s been a month and he still hasn’t mentioned the election.

What is with Michael’s specs hanging below his nose?

We are all going to take a bath

I always enjoyed taking a bath… still do. I learned to bathe myself when still an infant.

My stock tanks from 8:30AM-5:30PM.

This is the first time I haven’t seen a spectacular view outside Mike’s window (generally of Mount Rainier). Could this be Alex and Leo’s house?

So when was granddaughter Rosie introduced into the strip? Anyone?

Uh-oh… Rosie’s eyes never leave the screen of her device. And according to studies…

How long before we address the elephant (pun intended) in the room Garry?

The lead time for Sunday strips is 6 weeks and been that way for the more than the half century of this here legendary toon’s existence.

This one is just sweet. Thanks Garry. There will be time enough (sigh, four YEARS of time enough) to lament the horror that awaits us.

Still no Trump comic ?

She probably loves “Bluey”, too and her unicorn doll, her socks and especially repeating the word “dang”. :)

Bluey’s not in trouble. She’s just doing shorter episodes. Her crew has been working long and hard and need a break. And Like Doonesbury, she needs a time jump. The voice actors have grown up.

If Trudeau never draws another Trump strip, that’d A-OK with me . IMHO nothing about Trump is funny. :-|

is she autistic?

Good old Mike, always clueless, his best quality ! ;-)

She is practicing for a job in the new reich. ☮️

I’ve been nearsighted most of my life. Nowadays, my glasses rest high on my cheekbones so that I can look UNDER the frames (or just take them off) to read. Most people, though, pull them down, Ben Franklin-style.

It took me a little while to “get” that Kim’s “stock drops during baths” because, of the two adults in the room, she’d be the one who gives Rosie baths.

When she was 2 our daughter had screaming fits when we washed her hair. Our neighbor on the bathroom side of the house asked about it.

Okay, I admit I’m somewhat out of the loop on modern culture. Can anyone explain to me who or what “Bluey” is?

I thought it was going to turn out that the only reason (on this particular occasion) that she told Mike she loves him is because something she saw on the internet prompted her to do so. Shrug.

Okay, I get that “Grandma” would be J.J. (to her predictable chagrin) but shouldn’t Kim be “Granny” OSLT? Kim has enough of a sense of humor that she’d find that mildly amusing, not insulting and, biological shmiological, she’s the one who’s there , with Mike.

Then again, Alex never calls Kim “Momma” or “Mother” or any variation thereof so I suppose Rosie is just following Alex’s example. Then again, maybe Kim has outright told Alex (back then) and Rosie (currently) to call her "Kimmy. ;-)

I suspect that I already know what some people’s responses to this post will consist of.

Those wire rim glasses slip down your nose.

The calm before the s torm,when Garry MUSt address the disgusting election results

Guess nothing political happened over the past 2 weeks.
