Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for July 27, 2013

… oopie.

All right, seriously, what’s with the re-runs? When are we going to see new story again?

Take a deep breath. I know it’s maddening, but take a deep breath and relax…relax.Soon it will be Labor Day, and the foolish questions will be silenced.Hopefully.

I still say reruns from 25 years ago would be much more fun. Ones we’ve actually had time to forget.

Ruben Bolling does that and has a new weekly cartoon too.

When is Labor Day?

Start at the beginning of the posted archives ( http://www.gocomics.com/doonesbury/1970/10/26 ) and pick out your own favorites to post as alternate reruns. It’s also incredibly amusing to see how the art of the characters has evolved over the decades…

Locura is well named.

We need a strip authored by God, so it will be regular as clockwork, and Locura will never get upset.

And it will be perfect, and no matter who looks at it, they will see exactly what they want to see.

There, Locura, ok now? All mollified and cozy?

All these comments and admonitions aimed at Locura are a waste of time. He/she obviously doesn’t read the comments…

Who cares about reruns? I just want GT to lose this Leo character! Neither appealing, nor funny, nor enlightening, the whole Leo theme is a waste of time and space!

my golly..such an uproar..during gb’s sabbaticals we in canada just watch fox news..it meets our daily minimum requirements for irony and bathos without even going online or thumbing through old doonesbury volumes..

Just looked up ALPHA HOUSE, the pilot GT is working on. With John Goodman and Bill Murray in the cast how could it miss? Go Gary. write on, write on, write on. (Get it…Right On?..me.)

“Barack Obama sees phony scandals because he is a phony person.”-nah, he’s a real person.Some scandals are seen because some want to see fault in whatever he does or doesn’t do.-Some scandals are not seen because some won’t see any fault no matter what he does or doesn’t do because he’s their guy.

What does your comment have to do with Leo and Alex?

There are plenty of Editorial cartoons where you can do your whining. Off for a jog.

I think Eli and Daniel will be almost 3 months old when the strip returns.

Obama is a lot more real than some trolls who are nothing more than easily ignored photons.
