Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for June 03, 2024

Maybe J.J. can now pay some child support.

Joanie and Alex left without signing as witnesses. Is the marriage valid. Is Uncle Stupid head entitled to community property?

Zeke’s looking for the award for stupidity. He’s always in the running for it, even if he doesn’t win…

He’s already planning on how to spend it!!!

JJ’s eyes are round and wide, instead of her previous narrow eyes. In the Doonesbury world an indication of naivety. Let’s see where this goes.

The judges must be blind! I’ve seen plumbing pipes that are ore artistically appealing that anything that two-bit Rodin has ever done!!

What? No rings on the fingers? I’d thought they had been tattooed.

This is just going to be scam letter similar to the telemarketing ones we all get: “You’ve won the publisher clearing house $2 million, press 9 to accept”.

Does this award:

A) confirm a lot of people’s ‘commonsense’ views of art and art-appreciators? OR

B) show that a lot of us (eg, me) have been entirely wrong about aspects of JJ’s life and soul?

Yeah… this isn’t going to end well … I vaguely remember this storyline

All we need is your bank account information and your social security number!

No one would ever accuse you of being a genius Zeke. Not sure they have an I.Q. number that low.

After taxes, it’s only 50 bucks

And who nominated her?

If they don’t live in a joint property state, Zeke’s S.O.L.

$500,000? Sounds fishy, especially with her questionable talent. Fine print: Please send $1,000 so we can process your winnings.

No, Zeke, it’s all for JJ.

It’s a comic strip

They are married now. Could be considered “community property.”

Good ole predictable Zeke, something for nothing.

It used to be you actually HEARD of the people who won Mac Arthur’s——now you don’t.

to soothe the liberals,it wasn’t named after Douglas Mac Arthur.

Playwright CHArlie Mac Arthur maybe…..

LOL Zeke is such a worthless POS. Makes JJ look good in comparison.

Can someone really dislike a cartoon character? Asking for a friend.

I’m moving on to Garfield.

Oh boy, this is going to work out well……Not! Fun Monday folks. ;-)

And how much money does she have to send in to get this award?

Forget it Zeke. Building a beer can fort is not a work of genius. On the other hand, what has J.J. done to get their attention?

I don’t remember the strip, but wikipedia explains why she got the grant and who nominated her for it.

JJ’s shopping list: Welding equipment, butane & torch, scrap metal, drills & drill bits, kiln, various hand tools.Zeke’s shopping list: booze, weed, new tattoos, monster truck, lots of dollar bills for the girls down at the local strip club. lifetime Hooters membership, tractor-trailer full of weed.

Somewhere on that envelope it’s going to say “Publishers Clearing House”.
