   Is Petraeus Red Rascal’s love interest?

   Petraeus is Red Rascal’s Horse (if memory serves, white in the tradition that the ‘good’ guys always ride white horses).

   I know, but Becca’s description makes one think there might be more there.

   Becca is into horses in a “romantic” way?

   LWP,
   Apologies, the site (or my computer) were so slow this morning, all I could see was your comments, and my memory of this rerun was of the statement in the 3rd panel.

   Maybe, she would prefer working at Harlequin.

   Disappointing. Never seen such a thing. Poor taste in Doonesbury. Can’t believe what I see. Gotta go before it’s too late. Better remember the good old satire and forget what I saw here in the last two days. Bye.

   I think she used to be a librarian. If not, she should be!

   Horses can have strange effects on women.

    Sounds more like Becca’s love interest….

    I really don’t remember this sequence. In fact, as I recall, he jumped from talking about the book to instant riches almost overnight. Did I miss it, or is it something GT saved for a time when he had nothing better to publish?

    Somehow Jeff and Becca remind me of Dudley Do-Right and Nell. Dudley liked Nell, but she was only interested in Dudley’s horse. Of course, Dudley’s horse was the brains of the operation.

    I remember this sequence. Petraeus and his lathered haunches reminded me of the Byrds song, “Chestnut Mare,” where Roger McGuinn apparently wants to marry a horse.
    “I’m gonna catch that horse if I can,
    And when I do I’ll give her my brand,
    And we’ll be friends for life.
    She’ll be just like a wife.
    I’m gonna catch that horse if I can.”

    Well, why not? Pee-wee Herman married a fruit salad on “Pee-wee’s Playhouse”!

    I even remember the name of Dudley’s horse…
