Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for June 19, 2022

Get this guy to Nevada where it’s legal.

See if this mental image helps next time you’re tempted to respond to a troll. Picture it cackling gleefully that its provocative comment was so clever that it got a sucker (you) to rise to the bait. It does so while using a wet wipe to clean a sticky substance off its hands and keyboard. (It’s left to your imagination to figure out what the sticky stuff is.)

I think Zipper is mostly clueless.

Trudeau ,mocking the Alphabet Community. They’re going to surround his house.

For all the folks who’ve been up all night way buzzed — it’s Sunday.

Just tend to the crop, Zipper—and stop thinking!!

Oh, I’m sorry—I forgot those two are not Republican!!

BTW, happy Fathers’ Day, Mike, BD, and Leo.

I’m obviously missing something (big surprise), why has he not seen a woman in two years? Doesn’t he interact with the people who buy their product? I’m unaware of any reason to think that they’d all be male.

Love the subtle dig that Florida adolescents either can’t or are not allowed to read without assistance.

" _BLT_QG" ? He must be hungry.

I used to drink so much I was basically fluid!

Live here in FL. desantis’ popularity is waning. the man is SO ignorant. . .let’s see, he wants to have the power to “review and reject” any college prof who doesn’t meet his “standards”. . .has cut 35 mil from the mental health budget. . . refuses to back the covid vaccination of under-fives . . there’s not enough room to list the idiocies of this imbecile. And to think that this state leaned Democrat when I moved here 30 years ago. . .

Gotta say. . .my favorite comment of the week for sheer ignorance and stupidity is marjorie taylor greene’s blaming the tampon shortage on trans men. . .

I’m “It, It, and Its.”

no we’re not

What are the proper pronouns for a trans chocolate bar?

I find that people are easily confused until there is an emergency. I mean really, where do we “stand” on women and children first?

The current state of identity crises has to be contributing to a lot of these kids offing themselves. I can remember as a hetero male entering puberty in a repressed family environment, without all this flak and chaff flying around, having a lot of questions.

WTF is happening? Which way is up?Wait! Say again. What goes where?Really? Are you sure about that?….and lots more.

I made a legitimate attempt to try to follow the current alphabet soup. When they threw in a few more such as “binary” I just said “Awww F it all.”

Right now I am just PO’d that Monday the stock and bond markets are closed, and I could not care less about what the south of the equator game rules are for the current hormonal generation.

Lettuce Guacamole Bacon Tomato Quinoa ???

Rock/Paper/Scissors

Is ‘being fluid’ the same thing as ‘being all wet’?

Trudeau trying desperately to remain “hip” and relevant

I suspect Zipper, like Uncle Zonker is “Ace” (asexual). I don’t recall Zonker ever being romantically interested in anyone, of any gender. I think Zipper talked about a girl once or twice, but hasn’t ever actually gone out with one.

he got the letter order wrong. It’s BLTGQ. A men’s magazine about diner lunch food!

With 57 some odd genders, they all deserve a letter in the alphabet soup

Where can I get a Z&Z t shirt?

Is “gender baked” a thing? That seems like it would describe Zip.

I wonder if Zipper has ever, like Zonker, heard the plants talking to him.

LBTGQ?

I’d like to leave a laughing emoji on this, but they don’t show up in the Comment block. But this strip and its supposed point are totally laughable.

Reading about the ERA:

“Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.”

They got to revise that to ‘on account of gender.’

There is a difference.

Yep probably wont even print this in FL, wouldn’t get passed the deSantass censors. In all seriousness the governor of FL came close to denying children access to a Covid vaccine this week. Somebody told him it wasn’t a “good look” to usurp parental authority like that. Need to wait until he is dictator in charge.

Zonière has aged the best of all of them

I’m an easygoing guy. Pick a gender. Stick with it for a while. You want to sleep with either sex, fine. Parade downtown, OK with me. However, if you want to make your surgical and bedroom practices part of daily conversation, I think you are missing the point about becoming your new self.

I’ve given up trying to keep up. I shifted to “alphabet soup group”, then the less politically correct “AEIOU and sometimes Why community”.

You know, Zonker and Zipper almost make this a Father’s Day strip.
