Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for December 05, 2015

In the last frame, the olive moved from Duke’s glass to the other bald guy’s glass. Is the olive a symbol for thought, action and responsibility and thus similar the expression “the ball is in your court” or is GT just messing with us?

I wonder if Walter White had this series of strips taped to his fridge.

Free enterprise.

Whereas Duke, Honey and Stan are……?

… not on cable?

….in reruns!

Actually, it’s a cherry. Well, it’s red and has a stem….

Every drug is bad for you when used improperly,nearly every drug is useful when properly used.

Aspirin can kill you, Diamorphine (Heroin) is an excellent analgesic, cough suppressant and antidiarrhoeal drug.

“carefully sterilized, of course” Like my ‘made in India/Philippines/offshore generic medicals’ are ‘compounded’ and substituted for the ‘real thing’ as ‘recommended’ by my HMO.

It’s the Hefty Bag residue that gives it it’s unique psychotropic zing.

I definitely love the detail in GT’s work. After Satansspawn pointed out the olive, I started really looking & that’s when you see in the 3rd panel when Honey speaks, Stan’s eyes look in her direction and his arm changes position into a reactive pose. But all is well by the end.

Just so long as the government can’t negotiate and America has to pay MSRP for medications it’s ok.
