Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for October 30, 2022

George R.R. Martin was just on the Late Show saying he wished he could ride a dragon to Moscow.

It’s the perfect combination of factual current events and high fantasy. How did we not see this coming?

Jeff’s off on another “Trip”, I see…

But the Avenger is American. Should be British, as Russia blames the UK for everything. Which is flattering, but also ridiculous.

You can tell the Red Rascal and JJ are siblings.

So Joanie roomed with Hollywood insider Boopsie, but never used that connection to get her son introduced to Sid the agent?

Going OT here:

Elon Musk is the new Chairman of Twitter, and he said he was going to reinstate banned persons to the website—even the Orange Baboon!!

But then, I heard that Trump has established his own social media network, where he can continue spewing his lies and hate!!

My question is: can the FCC close it down before there’s another 1/6/21?

I’m a whole lot more worried about the kind of “Americans” who attack Nancy Pelosi’s home and crap on her desk. THAT is OUR reality.

We already have fire breathing dragons in the form of MAGA republicans, whose every breath is an intention of inflaming hate within their base.

Caught a snippet of an attack ad before hitting fast forward, blaming Ukraine support for inflation. Doesn’t give me warm fuzzies for what happens when Reds take over. Aside from bankrupting the country, suppressing women & poor, & all the usual.

Only works with a beautiful blonde lady on the dragon

Hey, even James Bond had to go into space.

DRAGONS!!!! Where would we be without ’em????

My friend just finished a dragon costume for her 5-year-old granddaughter. made with some purple pleather that I sent her. Her grandson is going as a Transformer—his 40-something dad is crazy for the transformers. . .

Whoever thinks this stuff up, THANK YOU!

Some how I don’t think a fire breathing dragon will stop those nukes when they hit

That’s outdated technology: http://www.military-today.com/missiles/m47_dragon.htm

I wonder how many people who support Ukraine also supported Trump when he withheld funds from them until they got dirt on Joe Biden. Blackmail is one of those things where IOKIYAR.

First of his name.

The red rascal’s books couldn’t be any worse than the pulps of the 30s and the modern pulp novels of the 70s and 80s

Oh no! Even the Red Rascal has falled in the fantasy horror!

Red Rascal and Ukraine have the primary colors wrapped up between them.

How would the Russians spin a dragon?

Welcome to the party, pal.

Noticing how Jeff is now looking middle aged.

Unrelated to today’s strip: Can one of you help me? I am looking for the Sunday strip in which one of the guys, Mike or Zonker or Mark, encounters two men in a rural bar who look like your typical beatnik and typical truck-driving redneck, but at the end they both make comments that belie their physical images. The trucker demands that everyone has access to free health care, and the beatnik yells back, “America! Love it or leave it!” …Do any of you recall that strip? Can you provide me with the date or at least a date range? Thank you in advance.

If he was really reading the market he would of been wielding an elvish ring instead of a dragon.

A new genre — which the GQP will hate.

Sorry, Rascal, Dragons are Out, Werewolves and Witches are back in.

Women with Phoenix ancestry, too.
