Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for March 04, 2012
Transcript:
Noise: Blam! Blam! Blam! Jeff: That's it - Game on! Really, dude? Really? Oh, did I do that? Sorry! Man: AIIEE! Jeff: This is getting old... hey, evil-doer! What do you say we give it a rest? Man: Good idea! Let's set aside our differences and celebrate what we have in common! Nice header! How much is that one? Jeff: 99 cents. Becca: Didn't see that coming... Jeff: I'm trying to broaden my base. Chicks dig peace, right? In the frigid Safed Koh range, it's day four of a deadly duel... before long, the two are sharing smartphone soccer apps.

Could be her apartment. She probably lives in NYC.

I actually laughed at this one. Sorry. I promise to do better next time.

Peace through soccer? Check the history of soccer riots and tell me how that’s working out.

Talk about a Non Sequitur!

Fascinating vision of what mostly would unite all the people of the world.

Jeff’s face is heavier, more mature.

During the 1982 war in Lebanon, Israeli and Palestinians actually observed an informal ceasefire during a soccer match between Poland and Morocco!

I can imagine Trudeau using action figures as he sets up each panel of the strip.
Buzza Wuzza over 12 years ago
He’s too funny!

I agree; Red Rascal is looking quite literary. Becca likes the twist, broadening the ebook market.
King_Shark over 12 years ago
You’re right, his knife hand keeps switching around too. Well, it’s Jeff’s fantasy.

The “World Peace App” is cheap, but the bandwidth to run it is impossible.

I love it.

Tough being young.

Is Jeff sporting a bit of a paunch in that last panel? Seems he may no longer be fit to be the Red Rascal.

This is obviously why Newt now says the “way to peace” is to give every Afghan a cell phone, and bunches of freeways. (Through the western Himalaya?) BUT, better to play games than war.

@FriscoLou & leftwing
“Action figures” and Becca are a good fit in these strips based on the respons of an imaginary audience to a nonexistent book. I hope GBT will confine Jeff’s history to Sundays from now on.

She has turned out to be a person of interest

I do dig the idea of world peace through farting around on phones.
