    Good to see the real estate market bounce back.

    I think it’s sweet how she missed hearing from her Dad.

    How to stop a good one-off joke from ruining the story line for years to come. Nice save!

    Does anyone else recall when Alex and Leo moved out of the trailer? Also wondering how they can afford a condo.

    It might not have been so bad to have her folks close by, but glad everything worked out.

    Panel 3, is that supposed to be an answering machine?

    For instance, J.J. and Zeke.

    We have one child and no family in our state. There are times when it is nice to have family close by when you have children.

    “We can managed the kids on our own” said nobody ever. Definitely fiction.

    So why did she say “You’re welcome”? I got the idea that she had something to do with the sale of Mide and Kim’s condo, and was looking at the phone in panel three to get something started. Lame hypothesis?

    Gokie5, some people (especially the younger generation) will say “You’re welcome” when they think they are owed thanks but haven’t received it.

    After Sunday’s strip, we can FINALLY foresee the end of JJ’s idyll with Zeke. Who knows where she got the money, but do we foresee her moving in next door to her dear daughter and grandchildren? Now THAT would be a true horror story.

    It is a good thing Doonesbury has so many plot lines. Just look at sitcoms and soap operas, the heroine gets preggers, has the spawn and then the show gets cancelled. There are only so many gags about children and raising them, they get old fast.

    Mike told Alex about buying the next-door condo on Oct. 20. Today’s strip indicates the discussion happened in August. But we know the Sunday-strip time-line (Oct. 20 was a Sunday) doesn’t always synch with the dailies.

    I’m terribly thankful that this strip and Non Sequeter are having plot lines that are non-political. Refreshing breather from “i’m right and you are wrong” commenters.

    Thanks for the explanations, folks! I did get that she was saying “you’re welcome!” to a phantom “Thanks” that never happened. Maybe she did “earn” them $30,000 by making the chill set in so they’d move somewhere else. Anyhow, things seem to be OK between old and young – at least, right now.

    I saw the first episode of “Alpha House” last night and don’t understand why it’s called a comedy. It sure seemed like a slice-of-republican-life drama to me.Seriously, it was hilarious and is sure to be hit (don’t miss the candy dish full of flag pins bit!).

    No WMDS, 11 diplomatic sites attacked during the 2 terms, ignored intelligence about domestic terrorists attack prior to 9/11, 4,500 American troops dead in Iraq, Barbara and Jenna in St Tropez with the US taxpayer paying for the Secret Service…
