Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for November 05, 2009

Noooooooooooooooo….

I can’t believe Faux News isn’t twittering their hearts out to rescue one of their own!

(snickers) Heh, go get ‘im, Mark. At least Facebook and Myspace generally has posts in complete sentences. So many people are buried in their cellphones exchanging cryptic half-phrases they’re not noticing that there’s a world all around them with people attempting to communicate with them.

Trudeau U R correct. Must m3nti0n 2 destructi0n of written English in E-w0rld. B a shame 2 happen…

Haiku has its place It is lyric’ly pretty But it’s just not prose.

I actually signed up for Twitter. I deleted my account within 48 hours because it only took that long for it to become completely annoying.

“Pointless Social Media Time-Suck?”

Sort of like reading Doonesbury these days. Whatever happened to that snappy, relevant editorial comic that kept its eye on and poked fun at the current administration and other Washington goings-on?

No wonder Fox is succeeding so well with Independents lately… everyone else has abandoned their responsibilities!

Errr … Nemesys, in what time-space continuum do you fancy Gary Trudeau was ever the editorial columnist for the New York Times?

The strip’s always been more focused on its plot than on lampooning whomever was in office at any given time.

Ravenswing, I’d never be so insulting to Garry as to make that comparision, but his plot lines were always relevant and challenging to powers that be. Clinton and Bush were always fair game, directly or indirectly through the characters and the plots.

But of late, the silence from Garry’s pen has been deafening. Nothing actually on the table has been challenged or questioned… and oddly, the only ones being stuck by that pen have been those who have done the challenging themselves.

As a 20 year follower, it’s a strange new road for Garry, and for lots of other folks, too.

NPR grilling a Faux reporter! Now that’s some nice subtext.

Which one is that, Anthony?
