Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for May 17, 2013

Good work. Garry.

I was a wall flower in high school. I didn’t come out of my shell until I started singing in a Rock’n’Roll band when I was 25. When I went to my class reunion last year, I looked better than in school and the guys who ignored me insisted they remembered me! Sooo funny!

What I’ve found is that some of those really popular kids turned out to be really nice adults, some turned out to be over weight and bitter has-Belen’s, and some remained the same jerks they were back then. Go figure. At least I am still the same charming guy I always was (s eek).

Some wind up fulfilled, and others just wind up filled full….

Yeah, bit she still has the wide eyes.

Must I explain sarcastics?

“. . . the ones who were miserable after college were the ones who were always miserable during college.”Good observation.

I could make a good guess too.

Barack would kick Tricky Dick’s ass in a game of H-O-R-S-E.
