   It looks like—and this is quite uncharacteristic of TM—that the owners are trying to get hip to the profound difficulties of having gang members on their teams. Gang loyalty exceeds familial, collegiate, personal, and any other type of loyalty, and people typically don’t leave their gang. It isn’t cute, it isn’t funny—it is a desperate problem. Go, owners. Have the courage to exclude gangsters.

   Right on the nose, Jay. I heard that horsebleep for years, about how much time I always had off, how little I did, teaching defined the term ‘sinecure’, etc. The irony is that few people can actually teach. It is a gift, not a given. I saw so many people who left the job after a semester, in one case after two miserable months, many more who didn’t go past one or two years. Yeah, right—let’s see some of those critics do the job.

   Maybe it was a dream, but I laughed all day about the cousins in Peoria yesterday.

   Keep bringing on the dope humor, Trudeau. Nothing funnier. I think it’s time to retire, enjoy whoever the hell you married and the kids, and smoke dope until your ears fall off. Just keep it up.

   Once again, ultralib Gary T. shows us that he can make humor out of anything. Illegal marijuana! Haw, haw, haw! Haw! I spent an hour counseling a devastated woman today whose 51 year old daughter is a lifetime addict to pills, heroin, all that. Boy, what a laugh riot! See it’s just those damn conservatives who oppose reefer who are wrecking it for everyone. Mr. Trudeau shows us here the real humor in lives demolished by dope. Haw! Haw, haw, haw! Zonker wants to grow dope. Illegal dope. What a laff scream!

   I think Gil looks like The Joker in P1. Shouldn’t he be in purple, though?

   I certainly hope Jan doesn’t back away from dealing with the punishment aspect of plagiarism. This is dreadfully serious. It indicates an approach to life. Look, I know it’s a comic strip, but if you’re going to write about this stuff, then have the courage to really write about it. The girl needs to be suspended from school, with parent conference required for re-admission, and (it goes w/o saying) an F in the class at least.

   rusty, it’s a serious comment and one that the others ought to consider. we’re talking major, and destructive, depression that he really needs someone to walk him through.

    This whole story line is obscure. I don’t get who’s who at all, or what’s going on either, chip.
