Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for March 10, 2017

Kid isn’t born yet and she’s already ruining Mike’s social life.

Very controversial these days, playing the Trump card.

Eh, but if it had been Mike and Nicole then, there might not have been Mike and Kim later. I think, ultimately, it worked out for the best.

Trump card? We’re going to have to come up with a new expression.

LOVE TRUMPS HATE

I hear that trump doesn’t want the new health plan called trumpcare. Too bad. He broke it so he owns it. Chumpcare, er trumpcare is going to be the name.

When Alex Doonesbury came of age, she tried to re-establish the strip around her generation of characters. The first setback came when she realized that there was no way she would willingly include Jeff Redfern in the new order.

And Mikey dodges a bullet.

Ahh, JJ, the ultimate narcissist. This may sound callous, but every time I see these strips I wonder if she would have actually carried the pregnancy and told Mike about the baby if he had not run into Nicole. Everything is always about herself in JJ’s world.

Drinking while pregnant?

You still have to have liquids while pregnant. She is probably having a virgin coke or Shirley temple.

You might remember that an important part of AN OFFICER AND A GENTLEMAN involved women trying to get pregnant to force a naval aviator’s sense of honor to drive him to marry so they could escape their small town/world.

Trump was used in this strip. How a propos for 2017.

Speaking of trump, I just saw online that Sean Spicer had an upside down flag lapel pin on today. An upside down flag is a sign of distress. Oops.
