Doncha just love Doonesbury?

[Electric Monk]

I wonder where this story line will end up?

[Jester Messiah]

1. Roland gets shot, dumped from Fox, and dropped from his insurance.

Then we cut to a two-week arc about JJ's latest performance art shenanigans. :-)

[DonP]

2. Yup, I get all my public policy and constitutional law input from comics

Doesn't everyone?

I hope to hell our legislators have the ability to look deeper into issues than that.

[dixiegrrrrl]

13. My son, at age 18, maxed his history quiz, said he got all the answers from Doonesbury.

" I read all your Doonesbury books, Mom".

[spin]

21. That's believable considering the state of education in the U.S.

3. Trudeau is a national treasure.

His work is always spot-on.

7. "His work is always spot-on" Like the series on Starbucks?

I must have missed those media accounts of shootouts over the soymilk and extra-long straws. Waitaminnit-

This must mean the NRA suppressed the news about all those shootings at Starbucks by open carriers.


Yeah. That's the ticket!

[pacalo]

4. Yes!

5. Just a guess

But I think some one will be shot. Authoritarian extremists in one party will call for feel good gun legislation that will do nothing in terms of actually reducing crime. Then extremists in the opposition party are going start buying weapons in front of a possible ban and the sitting President will fuel their fears by deciding now is the time to discuss "common sense restrictions" on the second amendment.

All of which will lead to the NRA going batshit, stumping their little asses off, getting out the vote and ensuring that "the party of gun bans" doesn't hold a congressional majority for at least twenty years.

And all because some extremists decided to dick around w/ a Constitutionally protected civil liberty

Bet I'm pretty close

16. Have you considered covering fire?

[elocs]

6. A big REC to 14 right down the gungeon's throat and they can't stop it.

Now that's funny.

8. I must admit he does a great job of persuading those who already agree him about guns.

Others- well, not so much, to put it gently

[RSillsbee]

11. Down to 12 now NT

[friendly_iconoclast]

15. Ahem *clears throat* 11 n/t

[GreenStormCloud]

10. Packers 26

Pittsburg 17

[rl6214]

18. I like that

Go Packers.

[spin]

22. "Pittsburg"????

I didn't know Alabama had a team in the Super Bowl.

Pittsburg, Alabama is a community in Lawrence County, Alabama. It has a latitude of 34.52528 and a longitude of -87.20583. Its elevation is 670 feet (200 m). The community was named after the industrial heritage of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

12. I'm more interested in Alex's marriage proposal.

Doonesbury punches holes in everyone's boat eventually. I can't wait to see where this one ends.

20. {shrug}

I haven't gotten the newspaper in a long time, but when I was a kid I always remember going through the funny papers thinking, "Why is this Doonsbury stuff here? It's not funny at all!"

[sylvi]

24. Well, there's satire...

...and there's heavy-handed absurdity, which doesn't take as much finesse.

This is the latter. Of course, Trudeau frequently takes the lazy way out.

[onehandle]

25. Will teabaggers be showing up at Obama's rallies next year?

Anybody?
