    Eww… yes, Jeff’s half-sister is Alex’s mother…dunno whether you have to bother saying “Half-uncle” cos you use the word "Uncle for even the non-blood-related husband of your aunt…but whatever, it’s closer than first cousins…. waaaay too close for comfort.

    In fact I remember Jeff explaining their relationship to Zipper years ago, when either they visited Alex at MIT, or she and Drew visited Walden…and Zipper asked why Jeff didn’t hit on Alex.Hope he hasn’t forgotten!

    But I was told that the only way the 99% could be happy is if they could force the 1% to pay for it.

    A poser and a free-loading loser think they had better odds than a wounded vet who served his country? Talk about delusional.

    Is someone new drawing this strip? This doesn’t look like Trudeau’s hand.

    In the beginning, it’s not WHAT you do together, but WHO you’re doing it with. Later in the relationship, it reverses.

    the moment it dawns on them that looks aren’t everything, and that Alex was actually a terrific being. whose terrific-ness they were too shallow to see.

    But it’s only right that the 1% pay for SOMETHING.

    Do you actually believe everything you say or are you just comic relief?

    Just for the record, I think the Ball of String was Alex’s idea, since she seems more enthusiastic about this cross country trip than Leo does.

    You know, this is a sweet, lovely, story line ruined by commentators, who use it to spew their political propaganda.

    No, it’s Jeff’s mom’s daughter who is Alex’s mom… Rather confusing.

    Why wouldn’t one want to stop at the Cawker City twine ball when driving across the country? It’s great, and it’s a short detour.

    You do NOT have a clue to what you are even talking about. Just a couple of rightwing nut jobs. Post it…. or move out of the way.

    To My Fellow Doonesbury Readers,

    A while back I said I ignore a certain commentator on this site because he uses his time of service to our beloved nation as an excuse to lie and slander. Now he has found comrades in arms to back up his lies. Mendacity, like misery, loves company.

    Like a crazy person on the NYC subway, it is wise to keep your distance from- and please for your own peace of mind- do not engage with him.There is no amount of evidence or reason that will make him change his opinion. He believes he, and only he, has a monopoly on the truth.I did engage with him yesterday, and it went fine since we did not discuss politics.

    Regards,LWP
