Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for December 04, 2017

“She’s my banker.”

What’s good enough for Dad is good enough for son.

Good decision, Mark. Telling her the truth while she is holding a sharp knife could go wrong.

Ooh, gored by the horns of a moral dilemma.

“So, Mark, who’s your new lady friend?”

“What?”“I’m sorry, I meant your new boyfriend!”“Well, he’s a balding, overweight Republican, but he’ll do!”

Poor Mum, there’s a world of hurt coming her way.

Had Mark realized he’s gay by this point?

Nice recovery, Mark!

Cue ominous music

Republicans are too conservative economically. he should have picked a democrat, they give everything away. Gotta love those democrats with their lavish gifts. Wonder who pays in the end?

Here is my reply to @LEE DAWSON :

Exactly who is giving everything away to those who already have the most while asking students receiving scholarships to pay taxes and telling the elderly that they can’t deduct medical expenses from their taxes?

Love Mom’s expression in panel 3. Very loving. Phil is a fool.

@DOUG S

What is it called when I tell somebody he has to pay taxes on milk and bread so someone who can afford a Rolex can buy it tax free?

Why do so many of you make up petty nicknames for commenters you don’t like? It sounds so 12 year-old and does you no credit.

Mark saved his dad’s neck.
