Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for January 11, 2025

Can’t say I blame the old goat. Well, he’d have the last laugh today! And if he’s joined his sister, then Zonker could laugh for him.

What do you expect from a country with such a low level of education?

I was curious about the reality behind this story. SPOILERS!

2006: Malibu’s reputation as an unwelcoming place for the general public has grown in recent years. Security guards patrolled the sands to scare off anyone who came too close to celebrities’ homes, while Geffen waged a long court battle against opening a public-access walkway next to his multilot megamansion. Geffen lost that battle. Since last May, the public can enjoy daytime access to “Billionaires’ Beach,” as mile-long Carbon Beach is called, from the new walkway off the Pacific Coast Highway.

In 2002, Trudeau makes the point that even when the justice system finds in favor of a non-wealthy person, they can be denied their remedy. In 2024, 22 years later, we see it again where we the non-wealthy public had to watch a convicted sexual offender be found guilty on the one hand and given no sentence for his crimes. I should not be surprised though. The Black community has said this frequently happens under the white radar of social awareness.

Anyone want to bet that GT lives in a gated community?

I need a sad button instead of a heart to select for this one.

“sub president felon” I like that. May I steal it?

The concertina wire is a nice touch.

So now all that had burned to the ground, the best thing they can do is leave it open, take eminent domain and make it public. I’ll miss Gladstone’s though, loved that sourdough!

It should be personal to all of us

still true today and ‘less beach’ quality
