Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for October 19, 2010

Doesn’t he know that the entrance is everything.

Is there a website for Pashtu translations?

Real Red Rascals don’t ask permission to swing in through windows. Fail.

These spammers are our own Red Rascals. They breach Gocomics’ security easily.

The Red Rascal as The Scarlet Pimpernel.

We seek him here, we seek him there, Those Frenchies seek him everywhere. Is he in heaven?—Is he in hell? That demmed, elusive Pimpernel.

Perhaps he can pop a smoker in the room and run in ? Good to see him in a mandress!

Some how this reminds me of the old saying “He’s a Legend in his own mind.”

“You are scheduled to use the door.”

…Where the headhunters await.

@ Brian from yesterday, You may be correct. I was focused on HOW the spammers were selling and never considered that WHAT they were selling may not have been legal.

Even you non-Rascal fans have to admit that His Avengership is impressive.

I still say the kid is somehow going to pull it off, and his legend will grow even greater!

Avengership, love it.

Thirdguy, that thought had just occurred to me when I read your post.

OMG – imagine having the Red Rascal as a regular on Doonesbury! There must be SOME readers out there who are giving GT positive feedback on this story line.

Diggitt: I’d say Red Rascal is definitely a regular on this strip.

And, like Thirdguy said, Red Rascal will SOMEHOW pull this off. And then his legend will grow to the point where his father will have no choice but to blog about him in order to keep his own fanbase.

At least he’ll get his info direct from the source.

same info everyone else gets, eh cat? JFK woulda loved this guy!

now i hope everyone else is behaving right? and F.L.A.G.G.G.I.N.G.G. the spam?

or else how can we expect to get rid of it? this is the least we can do!!

I have checked my regular “go to” strips and found spammers on more than half. All but two (so far) have had two different spammers, one at one strip, and THREE at the other. Are they organizing, or what? Just one was irritation enough!!!

Referring to yesterday’s little discussion:

Good point, Nemesys: I recognize the spammers’ freedom of speech along with my freedom to flag.

Nola, I am pleased to find two regions of common ground for us: legalization of illegal drugs (along with heavy taxation on their use: a great revenue source, along with cutting back on prison sentences & police forces). You are correct that drug laws account for a huge number of the imprisoned. Indeed, w/out the criminalizing of drug possession, over half of all the women in prison would be free.

The other patch of common ground is our mutual desire for universal health-care, as we discussed in the current Tom The Dancing Bug cartoon.

Never mind flagging. Scrolling - thus ignoring - much easier and more effective.

It ain’t no irriation when you pass it easy as a log.

How would the Red Rascal deal with spammers?

He definitely blew it by asking permission to come through the window. Swinging right in to make his grand entrance would have clinched it!
