Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for May 10, 2012

Is Alex going to wear a slit dress to her wedding and show off her legs?

Brangelina would probably send out a dozen press releases, rent a basketball arena for the ceremony and sell exclusive rights to the wedding photos to US Weekly. Bad example.

Someone is over-thinking this.

Isn’t melodrama so much fun…

Alex strips are funny strips. I dig ’em.

Alas for Alex, it is about the ceremony, not her betrothed.

HELP !Can anyone tell me why Go Comics hangs up my computer if I use Firefox but works much better if I go to Safari?? (Yes, I’m one of those old pharts who probably shouldn’t be allowed to own a computer; sorry to be off topic, but I don’t have anyone to ask.)

Two words, my friends: Google Chrome. :)

For mimismom _ go back to safari. It is the old reliable. I do not get as good service from firefox and have quit using it on my imac.

Ever since they ported AdBlock to Safari, I’ve had little reason to use Firefox.

I kind of like the idea of the secret location, texting the coordinates at the last minute. Kind of brings back the mystery of it all.

earth to bride, earth to bride……come in, bride…hands in the air..step away from the People magazine……

It’s thoughtful of the artist to change the angle of the shot today. “Brangelina”, Ha ha very funny. This character just runs with it and is lovable and entertaining.

per ‘Mr & Mrs Smith’ they would opt for the car chase, mixed with a little light bantering

they’d have their bodyguards break Zeke’s kneecaps if he showed up

Yep, a road trip to Las Vegas, a drive-thru wedding at the Church of Elvis the Devine, and a civil certificate at the courthouse before the peanut butter and banana sandwiches kick in…

“High-speed chase?” I like that grin. Not serious, but throwing the wildest fun idea out FIRST. Nice, knowing comment. This is NOT a situation that James Bond has in his repertoire, and therefore, according to Oprah-Judge Judy women’s mythology, American guys won’t be able to solve.

I’m reading this just fine using FF on Win2000.

@palos – I disagree. For Alex it IS about Toggle, which is why she is working so hard to keep her psychotic mother away from the day they publicly declare their love and commit themselves to each other for life.

There have been many anti-matrimony comments this week, which is nothing but sad. I married my best friend and now we have a beautiful son.

Run, Leo. Run now…

Not that wild about a whole two weeks of the wedding; maybe next week will be better.Having said that, Brangelina would undoubtedly have five levels of security and black helicopters protecting the airspace. Probably out of “Aleo’s” price range.

Even with a secret location, odds are that Mom and Uncle Stupidhead will literally gatecrash it, like they did with Mike and Kim’s wedding (see http://www.gocomics.com/doonesbury/1997/04/21). Maybe best to have Uncle BD and Ray Hightower on standby to throw Uncle Stupidhead into the nearest trash.

Best to Leo and Alex,

As to crashing, put up my few bucks to gocomics, got rid of the ads, and the stalls, crashes, as it was apparently all in the irritiating ads. will have to ad “ad block” to my agenda.

For those of us who are happy in our lives (and relationships) it is hard not to feel anything but sadness for those—incuding several regular readers—who apparently can’t fathom what it is to be securely loved. It’s pretty clear that people who have not had that security can’t imagine a world in which we who imagine we are loved are anything but stultified dupes. That being said, yeah, Veronica—if these folks dislike happiness and love so much they should be reading another strip. Or wait! If they want “sick” so much, Duke will be back soon. It’s interesting that GT has never shown a weekly sequence focused only on JJ and Zeke, because—boy!—if Kali, Palos, and Babka want misanthropy, there it is.

I was getting ready to ask, " Who the heck is Brangelina?" when I decided to see if Bing could shed any light. That is one of the dumbest monikers I’ve ever heard of.

@mimismom: I agree with Scaaty 423. I like Google Chrome. Like the others, it downloads for free and has maany superior features.

the current Christo “project” in Cowlorado – is enough to make almost anyone seek a cumpolsory sterilization law for that ilk.

Seriously, forced sterilization for artists? Well, I guess everything comes back into fashion eventually in the United States. Will it just be artists this time, or the usual: the mentally ill, handicapped, homosexuals, native peoples, and the poor?

Colorado never had any compulsory sterilization laws, but North Carolina is on a roll in the news right now. Maybe they could start their eugenics program back up (they only stopped in the 1970s, and is currently in the news for “reparations”). They’ve got a lot on their plate right now, so it’d have to be after they finish their school resegregation program, denying people the right to marry who they love because they’re colored, er, gay or lesbian, and also eliminating rights for couples who aren’t married but are of the “right” race, I mean, genders. Maybe they can come up with a final solution, of sorts, for all these undesirables…

After this, now that Obama’s evolved, Trudeau’s going to do a same sex marriage thread, you watch.

Mark and Chase after they discover that marriage inequality was what tore their relationship apart? Roz/Mel and the DADT sister?

kinda like the idea of a high speed car chase to ditch the uninvited.

Common law is much cheaper. Simpler, too.
