Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for December 02, 2011
Transcript:
Roland: So my guest today is the author of a new book and appears to be dressed like the enemy. Welcome. So what's the strange name? "Sorkh Razil" doesn't sound very American. Jeff: It's not. It's Dari. "Sorkh Razil" is a term of respect and affection given to me by the Afghan people. It means "Red Rascal." Roland: Couldn't it also mean "Socialist evil-doer"? Jeff: No, I had it professionally translated.

I’m not sure I can claim credit for it, but I did send them a message at 7:52AM CT telling them that the online comics are all 12/1. Less than 5 minutes later, they all switched to 12/2. Many have 0 comments.

I think they put in the archives for comics.com strips… When I checked out a bunch of the ones that were missing, they had been fully installed.

When Fox News is professionally translated, it really means “Blood sucking crap spitters”.

i hate this website! Any other good comic sites that don’t have so much crap on them or where i don’t have to listen to state farm commercials for every comic I read

Roland’s not the only dim one. But face it: we know that Faux is the propaganda face of the greatest subversive anti-US campaign the country’s ever faced…carrying the message for Koch, whose father learned from his mentor, Joseph Stalin…check it out! and one of the lessons was to start right-wing groups so you HAVE the membership lists for…LATER.
Yeah, go on: check it out, T-folk. You really ought to know whose side you are on…

Susan, that’s because Trudeau offers several ways of buying the book, from different sites. The publisher’s list price is $19.99, but you can get it for about $12 on Amazon, for example.
(Which took all of two clicks to find out.)

All that is missing is some commentary From that crazy reverend that burned the Quran or Mama Palin.

Republicans are so hung up on terminology, if you sneeze with your mouth uncovered they brand you a socialist.

Jeff is holding his own against the Walden has-beens. First Rick at home, then Mark on the radio and then Roland on the idiot box.Who’s next ? Zonker at MacFriendlies?

In today’s strip notice that it is Sorkh who comes off as reasonable, intelligent, AND LIBERAL. And it is Roland who comes off as unreasonable, stupid AND CONSERVATIVE. Go figure! THEN come back here and give us the answer. We’ll be waiting. . . . .

“I’m not surprised that Jeff comes off looking good.” Neither am I.

Not “socialist evil-doer,” Roland – “dictator-rescuing evil-doer.”.Hm, not much moral distinction between the two…
