Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for September 17, 2018

Like an intestinal infection, Duke turns up when given he sees an opportunity.

I’ve heard a saying about how, during a disaster of any kind, we get to see the best of humanity when people volunteer to help strangers. I guess the reverse is also true; disasters attract the worse of us…

Perfect pairing; Duke and his new best customer, Roland.

Scum – m + Duke – uke = ?

Ah, yes, I remember that ‘The Simpsons’ had just debuted and was hugely popular when the Iraq war broke out, and as a result the enemy soldiers were nicknamed ‘Homers’ by the American troops.

Wonder if Duke’s going to jail with Paul Manafort.

What does it say about this pointless war when classic Doonesbury strips are still relevant? I read the other day that a child born on 9-11-2001 is now old enough to sign up for the war we started supposedly because of it.

friend of mine who did a few tours in iraq said the one thing the locals couldn’t believe was easy drinking water, that he could walk up to a hose on any house on his block at any time and drinkable water would come out.

“Hi, folks, I’ll be here all week at Club Scud. To be honest, I’m a little afraid of bombing. (rim shot). But seriously,

Duke! The most venial, greedy, useless person ever to appear in “Doonesbury” — if you don’t count anyone named “Trump.”

War = Profit, so there you have it.

Anybody know what “EPW” meant?

Now, this is still a few years away from when BD lost the leg, right?

I have a print if this very comic, signed by Trudeau himself
