Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for April 10, 2010

A rental horse?

Don’t you just hate these skeptics?

No-one expects….aah, you know.

And where’s your security detail, boy? I mean, really!

The CIA assigned Jeff to Afghanistan without weighing the consequences. Jeff’s no clearer on our mission there than they are, but he relies even more on fantasy. That gives him the advantage over Havoc, who’s reduced to poking holes in Jeff’s story–because Havoc (and the CIA) can’t come up with anything better.

Any undefined policy, whether it’s proclaimed by the CIA, the Tea Party, or Starbucks, is an easy mark for GT’s ridicule.

“No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!”

“Yo. Did he fall for it?” The Rascal is trying to create a folk legend. This method sometimes works, though the legend usually ends up demoted for insubordination, ever heard of Douglas MacArthur, Marcus Antonius…

I see Jeff is preparing his stamina to endure the comfy chair interrogation.

Jeff wants to be a hero but, let’s face it… Not only is he not a Superman, he’s not up to the level of a Bicycle Repairman!

“No one fights 24-7,” he says…

I’m sure there are plenty of soldiers, policemen and firefighters who will agree with that statement.

He is sooo doomed…

A horse AND a rascal of a different color! How Oz!

Act nonchalant, and stick with the plausible deniability Jeff, it’s your only hope.

Jeff does look like he’s ready to hop to at a minutes notice with his pakol.

Where’s his location? He looks like he’s at home.

WTF

I don’t know what surprises me more, the fact that people comment daily on these comics or that the comments are so entirely lame.

Typical comment; “Insert grasp of the obvious here_.”
