Transcript:
Rick: So why are you feeling flush? Jeff: Just found a ten in my pocket. Took it off Roland Hedley last week. Rick: Really? How? Jeff: I sold him an advance copy of some book called "The Rogue." Rick: Wait. You gave an advance copy of "The Rogue" to Roland Hedley? Jeff: Yup. Rick: Instead of your journalist father? Jeff: Dad, you blog. You don't have that kind of money.

Nah, Becca will keep her job. You forget that this is a neo-lib strip where all evil flows from the right.

@masterskrain, Rick and Roland are on a first-name basis. To Rick, “Roland Hedley” IS Roland Hedley Burton Jr.’s first name.

Tweets will probably stir up intrerest in dud book and everybody will be happy. Well, almost everybody.

You are getting an accident (Becca giving him the wrong draft) and an intentional wrongdoing mixed up. (Roland tweeting) Two different moral issues altogether.

Jeff has ignored his father for years, and I didn’t remember he was a journalist until say, Frame 4.

Jeff remains an idiot. Doonesbury currently has too much Jeff, not enough Mike, Kim, Alex, Melissa, & Leo.

One weeps at the depth of stupidity Trudeau so perfectly nails.

Jeff is Gerry’s Rudy Park. Both are clueless of anything around them. Sad commentary for the future generations.

Our son informed us the other night he was raised to be a good son and will prove it. He intends to marry a woman that can support not only him, but WE also, in the “manner to which we intend to become accustomed”! Now considering his sister married a dude with tons of student debt, one out of two ain’t bad.

Well, Becca certainly won’t be joining him at the movies. Not now. He should have asked for $20, then he could get popcorn for his movie.

Gee, I assumed he got ten THOUSAND off Roland Hedley.

According to Wikipedia Burton is Roland Hedley’s middle name and he had been sometimes Jr and sometimes III.
