Alex was raised right, she doesn’t feel comfortable calling an adult by his first name.
Later, “Uncle Stupidhead”.
I see he’s wearing a NEW jacket, courtesy of JJ, no doubt!!!
The kid’s quite perceptive….
My, what a perspicacious young lady! :D
Who is going to pay for this lunch?
How times have changed. Apparently HoJo’s was still an option a quarter century ago. Only one left today. How the mighty have fallen – once the biggest franchise chain in the country.
How sharper than a serpent’s tooth…
I miss Howard Johnsons. Loved their unhealthy fried food. Our family used to go there after church most Sundays when I was little.
Don’t take it personally Zeke. Her loss and pain is not your concern. It’s your fault, of course. Just not your concern.
Alex was totally perceptive right from the start… unlike J.J. who never did see Uncle Stupidhead for what he really was…
Don’t forget Mommy Sleazebag. Takes two to tango, kiddo.
out of the mouth of babes…
Don’t hold back, Alex…tell us what you really think.
Alex is an excellent judge of character. That ability will serve her well.
Zeke is just stupid. Uncle Duke on the other hand, is bad to the bone.
In the last panel, it looks like JJ might actually be getting the message.
As they used to say, “Calling a spade a spade.”
Alex don’t take no stuff. She’s not only super smart but has no interest in faking respect to someone who doesn’t deserve it.
This is their first meeting, so how does Alex already know he is a Sleazebag?
This reminds me of “The Ransom of Red Chief”.
jj’s glowering but doesn’t get that alex’ response if perfectly normal, this is the guy who trashed her family.
Right? I mean, WTF did they expect?
She calls ’em like she sees ’em.
In the current Doonesbury timeline, are JJ and Zeke still together?
Damn, that girl is Tough!
Gee, I wonder how long it will take for JJ to just accept the cold, hard fact that Alex just doesn’t like him.
Mr. Zeke Sleazebag.
