About Doonesbury
"Welcome to 'Classic Doonesbury.' In selecting the strips for this retrospective journey, we're going deep, literally back to Day One. Revisiting four weeks of strips from every year of syndication, I hope to hit many 'Doonesbury' high points, focusing on how the characters (over 75 of them) got involved with one another. Since their lives have always been bound up in the events of the day, it should be a kind of déjà vu for my peers, and maybe a 'What were you people thinking?' for newer readers. I hope all of you will enjoy the trip." - Garry Trudeau "Garry Trudeau is the premier American social and political satirist of his time." -Newsweek Doonesbury has managed to be articulate, abrasive, political, compassionate, misunderstood, misprinted, and outrageous - but one thing it's never been is complacent. Garry Trudeau's creation has chronicled American history and culture in a parallel universe. And through it all, Doonesbury has always been honest, entertaining, and thought-provoking.

Welcome to the real world Jeff.

Good for you, Mom!
The assumption that he can move in and out at will, using your home as a free place to live (and you as slave labour!) is one many kids have (my own included).
As far as I’m concerned, when they’re out, they’re out, unless the ASK if they can come back TEMPORARILY – then conditions apply.
I also love the term ‘reality intern’, especially as even when he was in his own house, he wasn’t in the real world . .

I missed a lot of “Jeff grows up” strips. At what point in his development did he become such a jerk?

@Pacopuddy
What most parents I know just couldn’t bring themselves to do – especially in today’s economy – however, I notice that dad left it to mom to spell out the new rules. (Doubtless, the “slave labor” risk was a factor.) I also ask.. where is Jeff going to get the 500 bucks?

If memory serves, after being sent through a crash course to learn Pashto and Dari (two of the native languages in Afghanistan) Jeff’s actual job (aside from his extra-curricular activities) when he was in Afghanistan was as a translator. Jeff may be an idiot, but he’s not without some abilities. As incredible as it may seem, Jeff appears to have an aptitude for languages. If he would develop this talent Jeff would have a big advantage in today’s job market.
