Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for June 21, 2013

You all are going to hate me for this, but honestly, I’m surprised that Jeff hasn’t ended up wih more than an eyepatch.

Of course, his cuckoo-bird mental state would only get worse after the following: being left behind in a fiery explosion (by idiots!) and barely escaping with his life; being shot at and stoned; left to drown; rescued, only to be kidnapped and held for ransom…(referring to Doonesbury strips March 15th-20th of 2011)

Becoming an author will be good for him.

An alternative re-run: http://www.gocomics.com/doonesbury/1976/11/11 Not sure today’s (2013) readers would cope with 3 days of suspense building.

hee.

Not on this side of the pond – it doesn’t rhyme with either! Short o, short u and long a respectively.

Less of a klutz, more a schmo.

Jeff is the only Doonesbury character with no redeeming quality whatsoever.

Ok. You’re not Jewish. That’s clutz.

Um…klutz.

Thank you Tucci, someone may not have read them yet. Glad you could help it along. Perhaps you should post the next few weeks, just so everyone knows.

Good one.

Enough with the re-runs already!

I still think Trudeau should weave an alterate reality where Jeff buys a home in Sedona (AZ); visits Zonker in Boulder; and has starnge dreams of UFO visitations, which he could incorporate into his rediculous fiction. What fun that could be!

After a short and welcome break, I see the troll nonsense is back.

Hey, “Sarge” I see you’re back hating the Constitution, American people and the truth. Too much Kool-Aid? Or maybe you’re a Taliban whose trying to make us all look stupid?

Yom huledet sameach, Susan! But I’m sorry you didn’t get your birthday wish….

But enough about the rank trolls…

Happy Birthday, Susan. You and summer arrived on the same day, so I’ll speculate that you are a warm and sunny soul.Mazel tov (I’m a goyem, hope that is appropriate).

Happy Birthday to a fellow Met fan. Consider Zach Wheeler’s call up an early b-day present.

Do not underestimate the importance of latrines.

Happy bday Susan! Guess this means you are a Cancer or Moonchild.

“Susan, the present I give you is the truth.”.Ahhh, arrogance and absurdity, thy name is Guard SGT.

It’s nice to be reminded of what a complete jerk Jeff is. And it will be reruns until the fall.

This is what it must have been like when Dubya talked to Iraq war vets. Or Afghanistan war vets. Or any vets.

It’s difficult observing “Don’t Bait the Trolls” month.It’s like not swatting at pesky mosquitos, or not rubbing your eyes when dust gets in them.But July will roll around soon enough; then it’ll be time to get out the extra large “Clown Hammer” and go after these witless fools.Oh, forgive me, these tellers of “truths.”LOL

He’s referring to Jeff as the cuckoo-bird, not Leo.

I’ve always liked Leo

“You just can’t stand reality and truth. The Usurper is a Cat 5 Hurricane of scandals.”-But the truth is, dear friend, that President Obama isn’t really a usurper.-Also, hurricanes have limited reach many others have never been blessed by them as I have several times. Everybody has been blessed by the practices and policies of each of our presidents. (Ask a native American why they hate Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill or reference the Trail of Tears)

“Today’s m’birthday.”-

Happy birthday to youHappy birthday to youHappy birthday dear sweet SusanHappy birthday to you.-Don’t forget it is also Judy Holliday’s birthday, another great American..

“It is YOU that guzzles the Kool-Aide. That is the official drink of uniformed people like you.”-I like Kool-ade, especially apple and BooBery.Neither of which is sold anymore.Yet life goes on.

“In the clown hammer game, I’ll be the one with the hammer.”.It’s only fitting, since you’re the clown.

“I was in Iraq.I didn’t get blown up.I did my duties.I came home just fine.”- One sometimes wonders.Of course, if you were this way to begin with, then it isn’t the cause.-More to the point, though, is that you are not Jeff Redfern and did not have his imaginary experiences.

“His mental state isn’t "cuckoo-bird " by any means. Brain damage gives him a problem in responding, not in thinking."-Dear friend, ComicDetectiveDA was clearly talking about Jeff Redfern and his comic strip adventures as an intern (for the CIA wasn’t it?)

“After all, who wants to be an old crab???”-But, but, but-Nope, it’s your birthday, we won’t talk about any perceived similarities. and especially about age

Refreshing that Leo knows how to handle a boor (he simply ignores him).

Well, you’ve never even come close to whacking me as of yet, but I guess you can harbor your delusional fantasies for awhile longer.It is the one thing you seem to do very well.
