Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for March 26, 2012

Headline: Former dictator and Washington lobbyist commit suicide after car backfires.

Sorry, I’ve already been dead once. Rerun from May 2, 2011.

‘Pop’? Must be a 9mm. Careful! It might leave a nasty bruise! ;-P

Funny you should say that. At this moment, I’m watching Der Untergang, about Hitler and Eva’s last days.

Another week of reruns? I can’t remember when GBT last took two weeks off in succession.

“If this was a real assassination attempt, at least one of them would have never heard the shot.” Not necessarily so, if it was an “attempt.” Now if it was a success, that would be a different story.

Dang, I thought GT would be giving us an insider’s view of the Supreme Court deliberating the future of our health care system.

I would have voted for the SC deliberating too. Oh well. This was a timely strip when it ran last year.

If only it would work for a select few at Fix News.

“If this was a real assassination attempt, at least one of them would have never heard the shot.” Not necessarily so, if it was an “attempt.” Unlikely; assassins don’t usually take practice shots. If they take the shot, that means it will hit someone..On another subject, did anyone notice they wasted a perfectly good human heart on Cheney? He’s what, about 10 years older than the normal oldest recipient?

MIKE PRICE said, over 1 year agoThe practice and teaching of the art of comedy has been my profession for over 60 years. Garry Trudeau has a great, well-honed sense of humor, and he wields it like the master he is. But comedy, all comedy, is, in the final analysis, purely subjective. Some of the commentors appearing herein cannot appreciate GT because their politics denies their enjoyment; hatred blurs and dilutes their ability to grasp any nuance. The rest have a grapefruit’s sense of humor.

Last night I read those comments, fewer but more or less in same vein, maybe less anger.Mike Price actually has a bio wish some personal information; joined gocomics in 2009, says he is the oldest stand up comic, Hasn’t posted in 11 months, so I googled him . He lived in Santa Monica,moved to Reno where he died last November. Nice story about him in Jay Johnson’s blog:

I’m still hoping the DTPi will resurface. Keep wishing the disappearance is due to just a broken computer and not anything worse.- - - the persistance of memory…

I’m sure of one thing…when or if DTPi resurfaces, he’ll show up here first..

“Cyanide. See you in hell.” Hahaha…that totally sounds like something the real Gonzo would say.
