Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for January 16, 2023

Wasn’t everyone in the class of ‘83 strong, good looking, and above average?

I suspect the last panel showed three of the top achievers.

They started college in 1970; but didn’t graduate until 1983???

After a few Boiler-makers – who cares who did what with their life.

Doonesbury is one of few comic strips that have the characters age. I can’t possibly say that Trudeau’s time is the same as the “real” world. After seeing yesterday’s strip, I will mourn the days when our favorite characters are no more and the strip disappears.:-(

Define “meaningful” for us please.

Wait. They were in college in the early 70s. How could they be the class of 83?

Years after I graduated, students at my alma mater came up with Muggle Quiditch. My wife looked at me and remarked, “They pay all that tuition, and this is what they do?”

Comic strip years must be similar to dog years

Mark has been promoted.He usually bartends at these reunions.

Hey,those three graduated with the highest temperatures in their class !

What a speech! “We failed some of you. But welcome back!”

I went to five different high schools and three colleges. The idea of a “class reunion” holds no charm for me. I did go to my much older wife’s 50th high school reunion. I was the “trophy husband”. :)

(For the clueless, I’m not a cat nor do I pretend to be. My “handle” refers to my cat artworks which I call “catworks”.)
