Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for November 03, 2013
Transcript:
Mike: Wow... things have really gone to hell... we need to get back online and fast! Hi, folks! Sick to death of all the reruns? Mark: Well, just imagine how we feel! Mike: There's an old adage about comic strip characters-- "use 'em or lose 'em." Mark: So true in our case... In the Doonesbury green room, there's been a total breakdown of discipline... Jeff: Hey! There's no more sangria! Mark: Players dropping out of character... Forgetting lines... Joanie: Chill, yo! Rick: Uh... uh... uh... Mark: Tempers flaring... Zipper: Sorry, man, I thought you'd seen it! Duke: Always say "Spoiler Alert!" Always! Mike: Anyway, it'll be great to be back! See you soon! Zonker: Mike, what was I like? Was I some sort of gypsy?

People are funny: Theyâll spend dollars on CDs, DVDs, books, etc. with the intention of listening, watching and reading again, but make odd comments on cartoon reruns. Maybe they didnât spend enough bucks on Doonesbury.

The next time Mr. Trudeau goes on âvacationâ, he should bring back cartoons from the sixties and seventies that not only show how little things have changed politically, but how much the guys have changed âphysicallyâ. Reminiscently,C.

I was thinking that Uncle Duke would be a great way to address the current spying debacle, but unfortunately Trudeau seems to be afraid to criticize Obama, while other liberal editorial cartoonists (like Matt Bors) have been savagely ripping into him.

Priceless!

Wonderful! How long has it been, 6 months? It seems like a year.

Why WAS Trudeau on vacation for so long? I never heard. (Of course, I never askedâŠâŠ) All the NSA spying, the government shutdown, so much to ridicule and Trudeauwas AWOL. I wish he would get back here yesterday.

Hope this doesnât adversely affect my lawsuit against Truduea for a zillion simoleans for all the re-runs. He owes me! Or as Johnny Cochoran put it; âif the strips arenât new, then he owes you!â And he better not be a liberal when he gets back. Hopefully heâll draw the new strips as seen through someone elseâs eyes, perhaps Ted Cruz or Fox News, you know, fair and balanced.

I donât understand peoples angst about the reruns, but then I have a hard time understanding angry people.I will be glad to see new Doonesburys, though.

Here on the west coast of the US, they donât call themselves Roma, but Rom, with the o pronounced like rod.

Reruns? Who would have guessed? MOST OF US!!!!!!

Thanks GT. I am sure you have been hard at work. Alpha house will be great. When the strip is back we can get back to the babies and all the rest of the gang. All in good time.

âIn July, 2010, Johnson retired completely and For Better or For Worse switched to straight reprints of earlier strips.â âŠand no complaints here about âre-runsâ? WHEW !

i love the rerun, but stuff like this is just wonderful. Brilliant!
CrazyRubes over 11 years ago
Just wanted to say that Trudeau breaks the 4th wall more often than anything I can think of.
David Huie Green LikeNobody'sEverSeen over 11 years ago
" âRerun the 60sâThat would be rather difficult as the strip started in Oct 1970âŠlol."-Time travel is not beyond his power, Alley Oop does it rather frequently.

Susan, I tend to think Alex & Leo arenât there because theyâve actually had work to do recently, and donât just have to wait in the green room.

You miss him as much as any lib does â youâre always here.

When you come back can you please make fun of Obama the way you have done other Presidents in the past.
