Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for February 28, 2012
Transcript:
Jeff: Sweet! Man: Well, living large these days always involves an infinity pool! There are twelve bedrooms, and all the bathrooms are so spacious they have their own bathrooms! The master elevator is climate-controlled and the only way to access the inner sanctum. Jeff: Safe room? Man: Man cave. Just let your eyes adjust.

How about adjusting your brain.

We heard there were fairly good presales but I don’t remember anything about actual sales. Is his fantasy based on anything other than dreams?

Rock star to band; “Good news is, we got a line on a million-dollar mansion!”“Bad news; they want a hundred down!”

That’s Jeff. He’ll make a million on his book, and blow it in the first month. But isn’t this also a comment on the kind of real-estate-loan business model wherein the commission on the sale/loan is all that matters, and whether or not the mark, I mean consumer, can actually sustain the commitment entered into matters not in the least? The business model that, along with absence of legal controls, has come so near to bringing down the world’s economy?

There should be second thoughts about entering a man cave.

Watch out, Jeff! That crib is seven figures! A month! Rent!

Don’t know the exact path, but I think we all where all of this is going to end up. Jeff, broke, will be back home with Mom and Dad in fairly short order.

It’s a long honored tradition in Doonesbury world. When Zonker inherited a pile, he bought a peerage and they gave the rest to Baby Doc to buy back his zombie uncle.

I can’t imagine Rick popping champagne for any occasion.

GBT is putting Jeff back in Plato’s Cave, where he belongs. Let’s hope he stays there.

Looks like Jeff recovered the 50 million he gave to the wrong despot, and he isn’t going to tell ANYBODY!

Still no word from DylanThomasPI? I’m getting worried.
Buzza Wuzza over 12 years ago
The punchline will be that Jeff hasn’t actually received any book sale money yet but when he does…
Uncle Joe over 12 years ago
Hmmm… this is starting to look like one of Jeff’s flights of fancy. Authors don’t make that much money without a movie deal.

I foresee an M.C. Hammer situation coming up.

That’ll show the old man . . . for a month or so.

Man cave…for THOSE kids…? send ’em to the hillsides with (man-operated) hand shovels.

There’s something ironic about Doonesbury fans rooting for the failure of even successful cartoon characters.
Sheesh. Jeff found his niche as a writer and he’s making money. The hatred for a character like this is astonishing. It’s hard to believe that so many people can be envious of a fictional character and can’t wait for his downfall.

Is Jeff fust another “Lookie-Loo”?
Defective Premium Member over 12 years ago
I hope the reality that Jeff has been experiencing kicks in and says this is a bad idea. I’m fairly certain it won’t, but I’m hoping here.

Remember all those people yesterday saying, “We don’t actually know that Jeff’s blowing his money”? Well, we know now.

Is the Kennedy-Onassis Floor still available?

Some of you people really need to get a life. He’s only a character in a comic strip. He’s a fiction of GT’s imagination. He’s not a real guy buying a real house. Kind of like Jim Carey in The Truman Show. It’s not real dude.
kaffekup over 12 years ago
The point being, people like to discuss other people’s creations, whether they’re serious literature or just comic strips. I don’t think anyone here makes an 11X13" screen their reality.
kaffekup over 12 years ago
Is a job, like, real life?
ramonesfan over 12 years ago
How many books has he sold?

jimwill0803, nothing wrong with commenting on comic strip characters, movie characters, TV shows, characters in novels, and so on. It’s just entertainment. I’m sure that 99.9% of the people who comment on these boards realize that it’s not real life, and probably most of us have other things going on in our lives. It’s just for fun, sheesh! And since these comments are attached to each comic strip, what’s wrong with using them for commenting on comic strips??
FriscoLou over 12 years ago
Yeah jimwill, this ain’t just anutha Pooh story ya know.

The bathrooms have their own bathrooms, because they’re so big.

Reminds me of a joke from a few years ago about there being so many Starbucks that inside the restroom of a Starbucks is a Starbucks.
