Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for October 06, 2023

Hey, it was 1999.

The social fabric is totally shredded.

Will there be a shark officiating? And a lobster as witness??

Was telling girls that virgins were sacrificed to volcano gods a way of getting them to put out?

I’m confused. Is the virgins or the volcano gods that are tearing at the social fabric?

The Christian Taliban is on the march to correct all this nonsense

take away Mark’s 70’s ’stach… and you get Mike with a slightly stuffy nose

Any 2 things can be compared. Any 2! The classic example is apples and oranges. Let’s compare them, shall we?

Similarities: both fruits, generally round, grow on trees, sold in grocery stores, good for you.

Differences: red vs. orange, acetic acid vs. citric acid, skins edible vs. inedible, relative importance in Washington vs. Florida.

See? Any 2 things!

They only tear at the social fabric when the other side was already messing with the frayed ends to begin with. Gay marriage hasn’t. Just saying.

I remember the virgin-sacrifice-to-the-volcano-arc

I wonder how the Romans and the Greeks handled this sort of thing?

The fabric of society has been replaced by velcro

Well, at least it isn;t one of Liz Taylor’s weddings…..

And there’s the other Pago that they couldn’t afford.

Christians, and American Christians in particular, are the most oppressed people on Earth because some others are refusing to be tolerant of Christian intolerance. And the right to be intolerant, display that intolerance at will, and not experience any backlash from their intolerance, is a “right” some (not each and every one, no) Christians dearly cherish.

@Olddog04 you still haven’t figured out that Trudeau is comparing gay marriage to raw sewage?

No swimming involved, but the smell…!
