Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for November 24, 2015

Elmont is as old as he looks.

I like how urban becomes urbane.

Elmont’s final mission for the Pharaohs was rounding up Hebrew braceros.

I thought Mark looked familiar.

Dahling, everybody knew Shirley MacLaine back then.

Does Elmont resemble Uncle Stupidhead?

November, 2015 So difficult to read thie strip because so little has changed in THIRTY years.

Alice’s sweet sense of irony is still relevant and smile worthy, 30 years later.

Love that sign on the last panel: “Urbane Home Companion.”A change from the other three panels.

And the building in the background disappears and Elmont appears in the last frame when he wasn’t in the others

The funniest Prairie Home Companion I ever heard started with a commercial for “Hey-Bob-A-Ree-Bob Rhubarb Pie Filling.” Then it launched into a story about a guy who got a big promotion, took his wife out to celebrate and ended up knocking the boss’s wife down fighting for a table. So he ducked out through the kitchen, spilled a vat of gravy on himself, got chased by a pack of dogs outside, jumped on a bus, only to find it was an express bus to Duluth. When he got back hours later, the wife told him she’d decided to run off to Hollywood with the bartender. Then the narrator said “Wouldn’t now be a great time for a slice of rhubarb pie? Yes, nothing takes the taste of shame and defeat from your mouth like a slice of rhubarb pie.” That whole 15 minute episode was a lead-in for a commercial for rhubarb pie.
