Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for October 18, 2010

Oh geesh. There goes the operation from the git-go.

I guess this is the costume he’s been using for the Facebook photos. Sensible to bring it along…you never know.

Jeff thinks the costume is a serious outfit.

This doesn’t look good for Jeff.

The kid just might have the cojones to pull this off!

Nice banana.

It’s not a costume, it’s a uniform! Did he buy it from our neighborhood spammer?

Is that banana loaded?

I hope to see the red rascal in a mandress!

Watch out for those grapefruits too.

So much for “serious outfit”…

Oh, well… If he’s going to have his million-dollar head chopped off, he might as well be in character.

It’s so much easier to appear sincere if you have a total lack of self-awareness. (You betcha.)

OMG! Funftuppelspammerflaggen!

Is there a spam convention going on? I didn’t get the memo.

Capitalism in a free society. What a wonderful thing. Glad there are no government restrictions on those guys selling stuff. We sure don’t ever need that kind of evil interference with our lives. (Irony 101. Please reference “Roxanne”.)

RR seems to have to have lost his head and forgotten that he’s a legend in their minds and legends don’t often seem so big in real life. They even lose their heads in certain societies.

If there were government restrictions on these guys selling stuff, there could just as easily be government restrictions on our comments about these guys selling stuff.

The Constitution can be annoying sometimes, but hey, it’s the only one we got. GoComics, on the other hand, can put any restrictions they like upon who gets to post here.

I’ve been waiting for Garry to do a Palin-a-Thon just before the elections, but maybe he’s finally realized that ragging on the right simply annoys the Independents and backfires. The Red Rascal theme is a “present” vote, which is probably a good idea right now.

I confess to feeling about Jeff the way some feel about the pelican in “Daddy’s Home.” And by “some” I mean those who want him somewhere else.

In societies where human sacrifice is popular, the victims are generally volunteers to be elelvated to godhood. They’re getting shortchanged with just 72 virgins.

eeew. eternity with a buncha virgins??? (oh yeah: those guys better hope theyre not male virgins. heh) give me a couple dozen nymphos for my godhead. er, hood.

Interesting argument, Nemesys. if you equate commerce with speech, then I trust that you would approve the legalizing of all currently illegal drugs.

Mr Crook, I for one do advocate such. The “war on drugs” is just a tired rehashing of the failed policy of Prohibition. It’s created the same issues (more violence though) and hasn’t done a thing to stop personal use of most of the drugs covered by the controlled substances list. The list also continues to grow longer as each time a substance, naturally produced or otherwise is found which gives the user a measure of what he/she wants, the Federal government moves to ban it by adding it to the list. I would take bets at high odds that more people have been killed in the war on drugs than have died due to illicit drug use. But of course we know that the war on drugs is big business for police departments, prison systems and the like as much of the operating budgets for many of these institutions depend heavily on money raised by the Constitutionally shaky seizure of property in drug busts.
