Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for April 20, 2022

Charm a jury, yes. But not a grand jury.

What’s Henry’s favorite hustle?

Uncle Henry sounds like Zeke Brenner, only not quite so obnoxious.

Speaking of family, what ever happened to Mike’s kid brother, the punk rocker turned condom salesman?

21,000 feet seems pretty impressive to me, as a person who has no intention of ever going anywhere near Mount Everest.

Relatives! We all have them and their all embarrassing, until we need a little cash to get buy until forever.

Hahahhaha, God bless my uncle wherever You took him!

I really like this thread.

Since Mike wouldn’t be in much of a position to complain about his mother talking about her own relatives, I presume that Uncle Henry is from Mike’s father’s side of the family, either a male Doonesbury or married to a female Doonesbury. We don’t know Mrs. Doonesbury’s maiden name, of course, and we surely never will. Shrug.

But can he charm hats off women?

Kim sure looks fetching in these panels.

Uncle Henry was part of an old arc where he told Mike—-“Didn’t getting your tuition money in tens and twenties tell you ANYTHING?”

Wouldn’t Kim be about 50+ if she was from the Vietnam war period?
