    I hope this isn’t testing the waters for a major change in direction, because if it is, I’m gonna have to just say no. Alex is fine in small doses, but her twittiness can get on my nerves.

    If “Doonesbury” changes its name, we’ll have to look for it alphabetically in a different column of GoComics.

    You go girl. That will all change when Alex gets pregnant so don’t worry Dad and readers. Maybe Gary is trying to inspire the youth vote now/

    Gary Larson wanted his strip to be called “Nature’s Way” and Charles Schultz could not stand “Peanuts” and always preferred the original title “Little Folks” though we would have been happy to call it “Charlie Brown” too. The syndicators insisted otherwise, and they got their way.

    oh great, street thug slang from the bead-hair girl, married, in love, brimming with youthful confidence, and ready to run faux ramshod through the inciipient debris of wheelchairs & walkers as our generation rages against the dying of the light. oy. uh-oh & oh no you don’t. man & woman the wit & wisdom torpedoes. their revolution has already been sponsored by the usual corporations.

    If GT does change this over to a woman-focused thing, I’m gone. There’s enough touchy-feeling stuff out there as it is.

    The title should be “Entitled”. You know….for how today’s youth feel they should be catered to in everything.

    lol, death spiral. no just keep the strip the same. would be nice to have Alex start a new one and have two. keeping the trolls fed is more important than any change BD may have in mind. the Right would feel slighted if they couldn’t lie, cheat steal or hate, especially hate!!

    that’s what the Left is for in America, after all. Liberal hate America!! how could we live/survive without their invective spewing all over everything.

    two Columns for the Right to do their “act”! talk about feeding the Krill!

    Alex turned pretty well, considering her mother and step-father (Mr. Stupid Head).

    Given Sunday’s punchline, I hope this is humor. I’m only about half Mike’s age, but I still prefer the aging cast to the newer characters. None of the ‘Next Generation’ has really grabbed me. The only non-boomer character I’ve enjoyed at all is Kim, and She doesn’t see that much development.

    I’ve been reading Doonesbury for over 40 years now, and I’d be more than willing to bet that GT is just having us on, as he’s done many times over the years in the strip.There’s a lot of us out there who still think Doonesbury the best (or at least one of the best) cartoon strips ever. Keep it up GT, we love ya!

    First order of business she has to learn: you can upgrade the content, but never dump a familiar NAME! You don’t mess with the formula…otherwise you lose readers.

    When they came out with New Coke, we could drink Pepsi. Is there an alternative product for an Alex centric Doonesbury?
