Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for May 16, 2011

Someone getting divorced?

me thinks someone lost the house.

Naw, methinks someone is looking forward to Saturday a bit much.So, if nothing happens, does that mean come Sunday he’ll want all his earthly possessions back? C:

Chester must believe the Rapture is coming on May 21 (Google it if you haven’t heard). I hope Garry has prepared a good punchline to this, in case it doesn’t.

And I just bought a car. I forgot all about the end of the world coming. I could have squandered that money instead!

I think this must be a May 21 joke. What rapture!

Couldn’t afford the insurance on the car!!

At world’s end.

Take the possessions before the bank putsthem out by the mail box?

The guy who predicted this May 21 as the end also once predicted that the end would come in 1994. When that didn’t happen, he said he made a mathematical error. Wonder what the excuse will be this time?

The rapture doesn’t scare me. Now what’s that long word that begins with “A” that comes after.

Gotta be his house…

Didn’t you hear? The end did come in 1994 and you’re not actually reading this.

Maybe that’s why my house isn’t selling. Guess the market will pick up after this weekend. Need to call some of those believers for donations this week.

Giving away your possessions can also be a sign of suicide.

♪ It’s the end of the world as we know it.. and I feel fine ♪

I forgot about the end of the world. Thanks, guys.

dont the JWs have the world end every so often? or has someone stolen their M.O.?

The Rapture already happened, and nobody was taken.

Gee, there were papers which didn’t want to slot the “Doonesbury” strip for the day after the 2008 election, because Trudeau had gone out on a limb and called it for Obama. If the world DOES end on May 21st, it could be that a lot of newspapers are going to have egg on their faces come May 22nd…(Of course, that’ll be a Sunday strip, so it’s likely to be unconnected.)

Don’t worry, there’ll be a sequel.

Silver Lining: I have a family member whose birthday is May 22… I won’t have to go buy a gift!

@lewreader; could the word be “apocalypse”? (not that I’m exactly sure what it means, but it does sound ominous)

and could somebody please tell me what that message “refresh list” means, at the end of the comments?

RinaFarina,It makes any new comments appear.

Apocalypse means a “revealing”, or, a “lifting of the veil”. Thus the name of ‘that’ book is often translated as ‘Revelation’.

" Nope, they will not have egg on their faces as there will not be any newspapers as we will all be dead because the World ended"Gee, you figured that out, did you, Tigger? Can’t slip a fast one past YOU. Guess that egg belongs on MY face…
