Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for September 08, 2021

Now Mike wished he had won French fries with that bottle cap.

Oops! So much for the day dream.

That’ll throw you for a loop.

And the storyline takes a dark turn.

panel 3: Cathédrale Notre-Dame, with its original roof intact.

Wait, what?

I can’t tell if he misunderstood the situation or if she’s messing with him.

“If you can’t be with the one you love..”

I’ve never had any issues meeting my girlfriend’s boyfriends. She’s currently dating 7 guys besides me. I feel lucky to have finally met someone so faithful to me. Huge improvement over my wife. She hid her boyfriends from me, for the longest time. Of course once we separated she had no issues coming over and borrowing the use of my bed with her various boyfriends in an effort to keep her activities hidden from her “real” boyfriend.

So much I had forgotten about these strips. They’re only random storylines but it’s nice to revisit them.

If her boyfriend is Jean-Claude Killy, use your time to find a french girl. France is famous for its beautiful women. May I recommend Claudine who can be found at Club Med on Martinique?

“record scratch…”

Now your on her reserve team. Not off the team, just out of this game.

She has “gone native”.

The distant but recognizable sound of a balloon popping.

Ouch.

NYYYYYYYY—-OOOOO—-WWWWWWW….CRASH!

Maybe she’s hoping to make him jealous enough to commit.

A good time to wake up from this summer’s daydream, Mike.

heh heh…heh.

Mike just slipped from the lover zone into the daddy zone, which is much worse than the friend zone.

Qu’est que c’est?

Not a good time to play “Daydream believer” by The Monkees!

Well,we know Mike won in the end.Still,a rather unexpected twist.

I’m wondering when Trudeau decided to switch gears.When the strip started,Mike was supposed to be “Charlie Brown”;the guy for whom nothing went right.

Now he seems to be on steadier ground than most of his old schoolmates.

Wake up time

I wonder who could have tampered with Mike’s emails from Kim to keep this hidden from him? Who would have the ability? Who?

Poor Mike.

He didn’t know he was so easily Replaceable.

I’m not reading all the comments but tres has the accent going the other way.

And now, the nightmare begins…
