Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for November 28, 2011

Umm…define naughty.

Today’s strip is absolutely classic Trudeau! Kudos! Genius! (Notice the coordinator’s Justin Bieber ’do. Whatta click of the bic!)

Wonder how long before Jeff has another of his Oops moments. Like the time he shot Thudpucker’s helicopter down.I also wonder what Havoc will think of this newfound fame.

The Slackmeyer show – perfect. “Hey kid. A buddy and me once picked up your mom when she was out hitchhiking!”

Health, I’m tempted to climb into the funny paper panels and pursue Becca myself! She’s perfect: smart, gorgeous, scary judge of people, high salary as “top editor” at RH, position there responsible beyond her years, impossible to pull a “fast one” on (witness Trff’s repeated clumsy efforts to bed her; Jeff’s futile efforts to use her to manipulate a female coordinator in a “hot little black dress” for his pleasure; and, failing that, a hoard of screaming girlie groupies invading his hotel room all for naught. But does she stop there? No, she arranges a “twink” to assist his tour.).  Ya gotta admire a woman like Becca! Watch for her to rise to VP at RH. But not before a shipload of fun — straight ahead, fuzzy bears, straight ahead! Wait’ll Jeff hits the veteran host Slackmeyer! Health, wait’ll he hits Faux News batting order! (What? Roland Hedley has “the Babe’s” old cleanup spot? Whatta blast from the past! Whatta pit for Sorkh! F U ain’t LOLLIN’ by then, UR prob better off t’ quit reading now.

This must be Becca’s revenge for Jeff selling the Palin book manuscript to Roland.

Becca rules. That is all.

So the answer is yes, the publicist could be persuaded to wear a little black dress.

And most cross-dressers are not gay men.

Thought you might catch that one, π. An investigative reporter with Mark’s experience (& personal knowledge of key players), could blow the cover off the whole thing. Then Hedley plays cleanup & it’s dismissed as a farce. Becca works for Hovercraft, & Brkfrts takes the fall. Did Jimmy play private parties for dictators? & how does our favorite helo repair Sgt. fit in? Stay ‘tooned. (Hint: Trudeau went to CIA school with Bush I & Gorbachev. Ain’t conspiracy theory fun?)

I think Jeff just may finally be catching on!

Put your tray table and seat in the full upright position, and make sure your seatbelt is securely fastened; here we go!

I like the detail of the contrasting manner in which these two guys position their legs.

American humor doesn’t always travel well to us in Europe but Doonesbury is a sparkling exception and this particular storyline never fails to hit the spot. Whatever halls of fame Gary T isn’t in yet, add him immediately.. some of you might not understand why, but he is a GREAT ambassador for the US.

Jeff, you inordinate sulker.

I can’t wait for the interviews! “Becka hand picked you, didn’t she?”Comes the dawn.

Poor Sorkh! He can’t disembowel his publicist for his “naughty boy” remark. Whatta pit!

Yup. Along for the ride…sweet.

I love the third panel. It reminds me of the line from the movie "Man on the Moon:Q: What is the key to humor?A: Silence

Is the publicity guy wearing mascara?

Ooooh, the Mark Slackmeyer Show on NPR, Wait wait, I think I’m throwing up. I can’t wait to download the podcast.

Bet Mark’ll get distracted by the publicist. Must be lonely without Chase.

I wanted to be the first to make the Bieber connection, but I ended up a day late and a dollar short.

Love it! Jeff can’t get girls interested in him, so he gets hit on by a guy…. interesting to see what he does about it.

Those who think Becca planned all this should reread her words from Saturday: “Jeff, try to imagine how little this would interest me.”

More like forty years.

You people have short memories. I was tying this strip back to the one a few days ago where Jeff was asking if his publicist would be wearing a small black dress.
