Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for June 27, 2022

Joanie, get there fast, before she burns down the house.

Dang, I love Lacey so much.

My older brother is losing it, we’ll see he’s taken care of. It hurts.

I never could understand the connection between tea-drinking and dementia.

Must be something in the tea leaves.

It is much scarier to be the one who is potentially losing it. We are assured that memory loss is normal. Maybe so but how much? And it is not just memory loss but mental processes. I feel I am losing my ability to think straight, my vocabulary is disappearing, logical connections are much slower, working logical puzzles makes me sleepy – yet the doctors say “don’t worry!”. Right. The prospect of losing one’s mind is not a pleasant one.

I never lose anything. I just don’t need whatever it is anymore.

This cartoon raises interesting issues about humour and boundaries.Lacey is beginning to suffer from what I consider to be one of the most horrific diseases – cancer may kill your body but dementia kills who you are – and I still find this funny.And sad.Is that a strength of humanity or a flaw?

So, it’s confirmed. Massive senility has stricken the GOP. That explains a lot.

Fortunately for Lacey, there are no requirements for her job.

Apparently the Los Angeles Times cut Doonesbury from it’s Monday to Saturday editions.

For some strange reason this wasn’t in the Los Angeles times this morning.

I went through this with my mother. She made list but then didn’t remember what they were for. Everyone dealing with it has my sympathy.

We took care of my MIL until the dementia made her forget how to breathe. I hate that s#!+.

It is frightening to think that this sort of thing is really going on. I cannot believe that GT is running this storyline since he is a Biden supporter.

Nothing wrong with Lacey. She did the smart thing with that list.

Painful to watch,but you can’t deny it exists.

When you’re a good satirist,you can find humor in just about anything.

Please cc Sen. Feinstein on this. Thank you.

For all the commenters above struggling to care for their own failing loved ones, please know that all the "like"s you’re getting are the only available way we can show our sympathies.

Yeah … I am Lacey now. Fortunately I did retire last year.
