I suspect Gary originally had a few more strips poking fun at those who thought the world was coming to an end ā but he felt sorry for them and decided to give them a pass.
This looks familiar. I demand I show me my birth certificate. Iām that old? Last thing I remember was a young man named Zonker evading the draft, er studying at Walden Puddle. They elected who?
Itās funny. We know these are repeat trips, but the date signature in the panel is for today. Does GBT think his readers donāt know this?
āA comedian is a man with a good memory for jokes standing before an audience that he hopes does not.ā - Where does that quotation come from? I canāt remember.
Doughfoot, thatās because they pull vacation strips from the same date some number of years earlier.I think heās actually taking a vacation weekāthe stripās not running in the paper this week.
Doughfoot, I donāt know who said it, (probably a comedian..), but I like it! BTW, guys, if you click on the comic it gets larger, and you can see the year (2010) in the space between panel one and twoā¦
^Doughfoot, it was probably Milton Berle. I once heard him ā in the late 1980ās I think ā cracking hilarious jokes that I hadnāt heard before. Then I realized he was probably pulling material from his āVaudeville memory banksā . . . 60-year old humor that very few living people can remember.
Um, are yāall joshinā, and Iām not gettinā it? Trudeau famously took a long hiatus from the strip c. 1977. He was popular enough to get away with it, and came back with updates to his charactersā lives that had āhappenedā while he was away. He invented the vacation for daily comic strip artists. Heās got time off in his contract.
Henny Youngman was once asked why Milton Berle was such a great comedian. Youngman said, āBecause he knows a million jokes.ā The interviewer then asked Youngman if HE knew a million jokes. His responseā¦āwho do you think taught Berle?ā
Funny, Lewreader! I also have followed Doonesbury since it first started, feeling empathy since I also was a political cartoonist in my college newspaper around the same time period. Unlike Yale, though, my religious institution wasnāt as tolerant after one strip poked fun at college dress code

Either vacation or having to dump the Trump (or rapture) strips. http://www.gocomics.com/doonesbury/2010/01/05/
