Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for January 05, 2025

Kind of like Traitor Trump “apologizing” for the million extra unnecessary deaths he caused by politicizing a virus…..

Especially the regret of voting for the Orange Baboon—right, Becca??

People don’t read “Batman” or “Superman” any more??

…this seems overly simplistic. I can’t imagine the Red Rascal market has just dried up.

He’s a by-product of absent, over permissive, indifferent parents!!

Who wants what now? I want a blow out comedy more than anything, and no one is being funny right now. The ideas she floated make me depressed even to think about.

Well, jingoistic and tribalist ultraviolent serial-murder games unfortunately remain extremely popular.

Demented Fat Orange Clowns (aka The FOCers) are not into healing.

Healing genre; over HERE….Violent, non-healing genre; over THERE! Choice….

Donald Hamilton was a paperback writer starting back in the 1950s. One of his best creations was Matt Helm, a cold blooded government assassin. [The Dean Martin movies have almost nothing to do with the books]

In one novel two agents are commenting on the Kent state massacre. One points out that the national Guard let off over a hundred rounds, and only four students died. The agent complained that the Guard were completely out of control. If they fired 100 rounds from that range they should have killed at least fifty students.

I am fascinated by this first glimpse of Becca and Jeff in middle age.

Wow, almost no gratuitous Jeff bashing. How nice. Too bad I just jinxed it.

Who wants to read anything about Afghanistan/Middle East?

I think the market’s about to swing back in Jeff’s favor.

Jeff has become a publisher’s dream author. Readily accepts critique, quick to find a solution, happy to redo a finished work. Has Jeff actually matured and now loves the process of writing?

Talking about a virus kills people?On another note, Jeff seems to have age noticeabley

I’m impressed he got the thing published in the first place.

Nope – people still like to see the “bad guy” get their consequence – esp if Legal system fails to deliver satisfaction.

The military doesn’t give medals for compassion.

New stream…change from “Red Rascal” to “Orange Felon”

While we’re here…you think trump will be in court for sentencing, or, will he phone it in?

My vote is for court appearance. If there’s a TV camera, the Orange Felon will be there.

What is it about Doonesbury that brings out the unexpected-yet-extreme TDS in people? Even when the comic has NOTHING TO DO with the president-elect I did not vote for?

Movie producers and actors had convinced themselves nobody wanted violent movies like Conan The Barbarian but Arnold Schwarzenegger wasn’t built for wimpy roles. It turned out escapist fiction still had some market appeal.

Gee, Gary, so unfortunate that Kamala is the one who got the Pledge of Allegiance wrong. If it was the Bad Orange Man you could have done something about it. Too bad it’s all Nothing To See Here.

Crawl back into your basements for another four years, you TDS liberal loonies, and let a REAL president make America great again

“Consoling the widows”, ha ! One at a time…

That was a great radio show

If Jeff’s middle-aged, then so is the Red Rascal. Perhaps the latter could have a mid-life crisis about all the blood and gore.

That said, with That Guy in office, interest in senseless slaughter is bound to increase. IMHO.

And some people who kill people wind up getting Presidential medals of Freedom

“Dances with Kittens” LOL.

Seeing Jeff looking older is cool.

Look at that huge stack of paper Jeff’s dealing with. Do publishers actually expect to get submissions on paper these days? I thot it’s all being done electronically now.

trump posted on his platform a complaint that flags will be flown at half mast during his inauguration, in memoriam to President Carter.

trump is protesting this because he is a revolting psychotic self-centered narcissist with no bottom that he will not sink to, and also because he is such a profoundly stupid pathetic idiot, he doesn’t even know the difference between half-mast and half-staff.

When did Jeff acquire the “alpaca boy” hair style?

Jeff is not aging well.

That’s just dumb enough to work. Nobody ever went broke underestimating public tastes.

Out of step with what, get out of NYC much? 3 Networks all broadcasting from one place. Gee, what could go wrong??? ;-)

Hillary Clinton was just awarded The Presidential MEdal of Freedom.

tell trump, he might have a stroke and our worries will be over

“Console the widows.” I can imagine….
