Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for September 03, 2023

Does that make Duke Earl’s mother?

…what.

I knew it!!!

So the bedraggled looks-kind-of-like-Boopsie woman from earlier Sunday strips is somehow connected to Duke, inasmuch as she’s right there with Earl and Trff.

Hmm. Or . . . Boopsie is the drag king?

Half way down, I assumed it was going to tRump.

Anyone else find it interesting that Doonesbury still gets that much paper mail in 2023?

Not a drag king, maybe a drag pedestrian

where’s the red guy that wears scarves in the mid-east place? this strip appears to be swishing off to the coast of gay old Californica.

whenever the cartoon was drawn, our drag king is orange & a treasonous pos.

This comic is now illegal in some states!

Ah, so, the Duchess, then?

Really? Why don’t you just invent a fresh new character instead of offering up a sacrifice of old villans. Don’t get me wrong, Duke deserves it but where’s the imagination and the exploration? Never mind, I won’t Bud Lite you anyway. You do you guys.

I had my money on Hunk-Ra

A drag KING, not too often spoken of as compared to drag queens. Although I just read about a drag king in the NYT.

I find interesting stories about women who pretended to be men all their lives in order to have “men only” professions, doctors, scientists, musicians. Joan D’Arc doesn’t count because she didn’t pretend to be a man.

If I may recommend a book, though it’s fiction, read “ Monstrous Regiment,” by Terry Pratchett.

Funniest Sunday Doonesbury in quite some time…

boy. that changes everything

Poor Duke!XD Such a cute little girl.

Or go for the trifecta a la Victor, Victoria! A woman pretending to be a man pretending to be a woman.

It’s Uncle Stupidhead.

I can imagine Duke being blacked-out long enough to forget being her whole pregnancy.

Maybe it’s really Red Rascal.

That’ll make him sweat.

Has Mike ever met Duke?

Ironically, I had just watched Matt Baume’s review of Some Like it Hot (1959), and I’m listening to the Broadway version now.
