Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for January 14, 2011

This funeral is a carnival ride!

Okay, time to move on…..

Can’t quite see Daisy’s picture.

Daisy would have really enjoyed this funeral. Too bad she missed it. (Death will do that to you.)

Wouldn’t we all, Clark K, wouldn’t we all…!!

I’ve got my spring loaded coffin on order

Great lines of bill collectors

“interested in her back forty”…Sounds like a euphemism!

cant do nothin out on the back 40 cuz a th rheumatism

You know, I. P., I was sort of thinking the same thing about that “back forty” comment.

I got the feeling that Ed was about to make a comment about how he got a few splinters of his own while he and Daisy were up on that table.

“Well, seeing her all laid out like that reminded me…

Vitamin V apparently has nothing to do with improving judgment disfunction.

I’m just glad that he didn’t say, that they wanted to plow her back forty!

Too bad Daisy died. A relative with a worthless 40 acre farm here in Oklahoma just got $500 an acre for three year lease from gas production company. Assume from first panel that Daisy lived here. I am fairly new to Doonesbury and am not following this story line and characters very well.

Thirdguy -

…or seed it.

freeholder, maybe Ed is getting turned on by looking at her laid out like that. After all, with an open casket, it’s not too late for a little necrophilial fun. Maybe it’s even in her will.

eewwwwww!

Redneckrophilia.

Thirdguy & DoctorDan: You two are killing me… ^_^

Too bad we can’t see Daisy’s picture. I would have loved to see her reaction to this…

Coyoty, once again, your word play is second to none!

A local old-timer artist arranged his own going-away party (sort of a wake) at a restaurant, but was too ill by then to make it. We all enjoyed the stories about him, as we celebrated his life. A very few days later, he dropped the body.

I’d kinda like to do that, too - the party part, anyway! The timing is the crucial part, though…
