What is the connection between Zeke and Duke? They didn’t reprint that story arc to my knowledge. According to Doonesbury’s Cast it says he worked for Duke, but no details.

So - Duke appointed Uncle Stupidhead, Grab Anything that isn’t nailed down Zeke? Must have been during a bad batch of LSD or some other unknown substance. Why or why did he not chose little nephew Zonker?

@chfabbroCurrently, using a hyperlink or embedding an image in the first 18 characters of a comment, as I explained here (<Teaching Mode>), will disable the Reply button — LWP’s caretaker hyperlink disabled it.BTW, your use of all-caps (LWP) in your last comment, disabled the Reply button (part of the same explanation) in your comment as well (I mimicked a reply at the start of this).. As the explanation states, with all-caps, it only happens in certain cases.

Thank you to leftwingpatriot. Since I didn’t have access to the strip in early days, I had no idea that ‘Uncle Stupidhead’ ever had any kind of job. I figured him for one of those leeches who sponge off a girlfriend till she runs out of money…

Zeke is the caretaker of Duke’s compound in Aspen.-(I accidentally deleted this post.)
