Duke: China, Mac! Henry's asking me to go to China! MacArthur: Really? !What a wonderful opportunity, sir! Duke: Bush has been recalled, and the president wants me to take over as top envoy! MacArthur: China's good fortune is Samoa's misfortune, sir. You will be sorely missed by all of us! Duke: I've been directed to appear at a Senate confirmation hearing next month... MacArthur: Yours has been a career of public service which Samoans will not soon forget! Duke: Do you think I should accept, Mac? MacArthur: Les us not say aloha, sir-- but rather au revoir!

And thus, Mac’s time in the strip comes to an end. As Duke’s assistants go, he was only the warm-up act, soon to be replaced by the great Honey.

Some of the younger readers might not know which Prez Bush is which. And for all of you who say there are too many Clintons, only one of them has been Prez so far.

Thanks! I came to the comments specifically to find out if it was the same Bush, or if not, a relation.

Mac’s last appearance was when he officiated at Mark and Chase’s wedding. Such was Duke’s legacy, that he wouldn’t mention his name!
