Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for May 08, 2012

It could have been a roadie.

The band, the road crew, the event staff. We aren’t talking about a small group of people here.

Use the dart board method — It’s faster and probably as reliable…

…at least we can choose our own friends. And gmartin is right.

What if it was Boy George?

Or they can do what Gina and Bobby did in Mary Worth: Just get everyone together and surprise them with a wedding.

“My father-in-law is in Motley Crue.”

“Really? Which one?”

“I only have one father-in-law.”

“Noooo… Which bandmember?”

“We’re still working on that.”

I think I missed the strip in which they actually agreed to get married.

Come on, Alex. At one point you liked this idea.

Zeke !! ?? Oh boy, here we go!

single mothers don’t give up….“hell hath no fury” transmuted into terminal singlemindedness. oh dear.

At least the project will keep her busy and out of the kids hair.

To Mom’s credit, she is looking at their pictures rather than their credit reports.

I went to a lot of Motley Crue shows in those days, and his mom looks vaguely familiar …. Maybe I’m Leo’s father.

I don’t have time to wade through back strips right now, but I recall that Leo said “no” to Alex’s proposal. Later he said that the reason he had said no to her was that he wanted to propose to her himself. Evidently he did at a later date.

Well, I sure hope it’s not Mick Mars, as he’s got a congenital spine condition, ankylosing spondylitis.

The kid looks most like Vince, anyway.

Do you mean the ‘flight’ to not pay for the honeymoon?

I do like the idea of locking them both up together — someplace on the other side of the country.

Amazing how the kids seem to transcend their parents insanity (ok Alex is a little neurotic but can’t hold a candle to her mom).
