Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for November 12, 2023

There’s still a chance BD’s team will end up better than 1–61 (over 6 seasons).

As for what he can lose: BD could be suspended by the conference his team belongs to (see Jim Harbaugh).

Republican playbooks have all the cheats between their pages not to mention illegal payments and game rigging.

I think this is close to what Michigan will do about its cheating scandal.

So it seems Alex’s still alive? I know she’s just a comic character and normally find it ridiculous when someone else obsesses about things like that … but last week’s strip got me

Trumpberville?

Next game probably will be protested more heavily since the spread should be greater; considering the number of players jailed, on probation, suspended and given lifetime expulsions.

Plus the Head Coach of the Orange Clowns seems to be mentally deteriorating more every day. Now he wants to throw out the rule book and rewrite it so he can never lose.

The world, if it worked by Cheato’s rules.

Will Republicans understand this cartoon?

They’re not so good with stuff like allegories.

Don’t do it or the other coach will try to have you, your friends and family in jail if you don’t let him cheat, i mean, win.

Hoping this is good news for Alex….

So, why is B. D. not wearing the orange jumpsuit? Oh, right, not convicted….

Hasn’t BD learned ANYTHING from life?? He’s becoming more Trumpian all the time!! Have to wonder why Boopsie still stays with him.

The Game Plan

Snapshot of what it will be like if we get a Trump-like presidency.

Clever parody but why are they wearing blue? Perhaps an omen?

NAME US A KING by Carl Sandburg

Name us a king who shall live forever-a peanut king, a potato king,a gasket king, a brass-tack king,a wall-paper king with a wall-paper crown and a wall-paper queen with wall-paper jewels.

Name us a kingso keen, so fast, so hard, he shall last forever-and all the yes-men square shooters telling the king, “Okay Boss, you shall last forever! and then some!” telling it to the onion king, a pecan king, a zipper king or a chewing gum king, any consolidated, amalgamated syndicate king-listening to the yes-men telling him he shall live forever, he is so keen, so fast, so hard, an okay Boss who shall never bite the dust, never go down and be a sandwich for the worms like us—the customers, like us—the customers.

Ahhh Boopsie, always the voice of reason lol

Very trumpesque.

Be afraid…be very afraid…

I’ve never been happier to be a Conservative Canadian (well, I’ll be happier when Justin loses an election); but to be a conservative in America today is to ally yourself with election deniers, Jewish space lazers, Deep State paranoia, etc.

Oh please! Not before I’ve had my third cup of coffee!

Republicans are losing because their circular logic is making them shove their heads up their a$$.

BD’s suggestion does have precedent. The Florida-Florida State rivalry resembled that during its Steve Spurrier-Bobby Bowden heyday. As much as I favor one team over the other, fans on both sides of the 50-yard line sounded about that bad.

74,000,000 you should give up football and sports in general as a cornerstone of your life, if you can’t accept the message being presented here………………………………I hear Paramount has some new material to watch.

I thought it was 0 and 41 or something like that.

Perfect!

Brilliant!

Cowboys’s fans after last week’s game against the Eagles.

I saw an article discussing Melania and Trump’s marriage. She has apparently renegotiated their marriage contract so that she does not have to show up at campaign rally’s and that provisions have been made for her to continue to get paid even if/when Trump goes to jail. They deserve each other, talk about two completely self centered people.

Patriots could try this. And why are their tickets still so $$$?

Ticket prices should reflect the team performance.

A lot of people say that, they really do.

That all seemed so familiar… oh, sorry… the deep-sea diver in my bowl did something for a second there. What were you saying again, Garry?

Why do conservatives long to be lied to?

Republicans do not care about laws. Republicans do not care about governance. Republicans do not care about America. All they care about is getting power, so that they can force the rest of us to live how they say we ought.

I dunno, have you seen some of the calls the refs have been making favoring certain teams that shall remain nameless but one rhymes with Briefs?

Walden at least got 3 points, as the same as the Seahawks last week.

What whining sounds like and what winning never does sound like

Har har har

Brilliant. Be a sport. Concede the last election (and the next one).

What is worrisome, concerning, is that there still are a significant number of Americans giving this P01135809 ‘person’ the benefit of a doubt – after all we all have witnessed?

Sadly, here’s this strip from 41 years ago. It came out during the Israeli invasion of Lebanon, and just before the Israeli-abetted massacre at the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps.

I wonder who would do something as idiotic and Trump-like as that???

Most concise and apt analogy of the situation yet.

It sounds funnier when you compress it into eight panels.

sadly i think butt-trumpet will pull a taft

Problem is, this is “Doonesbury.” This little parable needs to be snuck into “Mallard Filmore.”

It’s always nice to see him back doing what he loves. The happiest period of BD’s life was before 9/11 when he was coaching at Walden the first time. He engaged in shenanigans back then and loved doing it.

TDS

The New York Giants are seriously considering this strategy

Orangehead lost BD when he said veterans were losers

Ray is almost unrecognizable, and his hair looks absolutely horrible. If you’re only working on one strip per week, Trudeau, you can take the time to keep your characters on-model.

Don’t think this analogy will play good with Saints fans, bud.
