Zonker: Jeepers, this is upsetting! I can't believe I slept through the election! I was registered this time! I had a stake! Ever since I heard the president talk about saving highway 1 and Malibu for kinds 100 years from now, I've been psyched! I was going to go for it, finally act like a responsible adult. JJ: Speaking of acting like a responsible adult, Zonker, when are you going to get a job and move out of here? Zonker: That's it-- hit me while I'm down! Mike: C'mon, J.J., one step at a time.

Mike should’ve seen this as a sign that J.J. wasn’t part of the team.-Yes, the grapefruit turned to a bagel or muffin.

That is a great line. A great sound bite in today’s terms, even though I don’t share her opinion. I had not heard it before, so thanks.

Something’s not right – Zonk is talking about sleeping through the elections. Since he mentions “the president” one assumes it is the Presidential elections. But if this strip is from 1984, does that mean that Zonker overslept the elections by 2 years?

This ‘toon looks like Zonker was going to vote for Reagan. Is that possible? I wasn’t reading back then, and these jumps in time never seem to start at the beginning of an arc, so I really don’t know. Anyone?
