Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for September 25, 2014
Transcript:
Man: Folks, we want to thank you all for comin' to Graceland, and we apologize for the long wait... There's been some congestion at Elvis' grave today, but we 'spect it should be thinnin' out pretty soon now. Boopsie: Excuse me, but could you tell us how long that might be? I've been waiting since 5:30 this morning. Man: How many mourners in your party, honey? Boopsie: Just one. Non-smoking.

Well, most of the people on the line are probably Republicans.

She’s not much of a mourning person.

Is that a teenage Roland in the blue shirt, standing to Boopsie’s left??

GT – Please get busy ! One time in the 70s was enough.

Ref. yesterday’s strip: I was lost at the joke. What’s an E-47, and why “without the motor”?

Good drawings today for a Boopsie ogle!

I just wanted to say that I really like the look of Doonesbury right around this period. The drawings had finally settled down and shed their last traces of awkwardness. It was a full-bodied, rounded style but without the polished, opulent look that Carlton’s inks started giving it in the late ’80s when Trudeau switched to a multiple-perspective format. This gave it a sort of breezy, casual quality that downplayed the craft and confidence behind it.

Peregrino: The joke is that so many people ordered exactly what Boopsie wanted that they gave it a number – the only exception being that an “E-47” apparently is motorized somehow, and Boopsie, being the “simple” creature that she is ;) didn’t request that.
