Transcript:
Joanie: Who was Lacey Davenport? She was the last of her breed - moderate, as sensible as a pair of flats, and above all, civil! Did that make her ineffective? No, it made her indispensable. In debate after debate, she furnished Congress with the moral compass it... it... oh, dear. Alex: What? Joanie: I'm spinning, aren't I? Alex: Yeah. Try to keep in mind she's dead.

I think this is one of the first times I’ve ever seen generally positive comments, wow! And on Doonesbury even, wow again! I hope and pray Trudeau doesnt go the way of Lynn Johnston and start freezing the characters. It’s realistic when they get old, sick and die.
