Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for September 10, 2012

Oh goody- a rerun! First ran on August 29, 2011.

To what do we owe…..?

Go fix Syria while you’re at it.

Now if he only worshiped a god beside himself…

Next thing you know you’ll see them selling the book next to the comments section of Gocomics. Oh, wait…?

Seriously, this is such a true shot with all the non-talent celebs cashing in.

if they took “God” off the coins, well “In ___ We Trust” would sure look dumb.

Rerun? Aw, i was thinking he’d be keeping up those mortgage payments after all..On another note…anyone have any idea why Elizabeth Warren got the convention gig? I thought they always hired a rising star to deliver the keynote address. Warren’s star is still on the launch pad, and that Senate race is very iffy.

My bad. Keynote speaker was Julian Castro. Elizabeth Warren was just the most heavily-hyped. Maybe I read too much Doonesbury.

I can’t wait to see the fall out from the extremes in his party when he said on MTP that he would not get rid of all of Obamacare. A move of desperation possibly?

For all Gary’s political self-righteousness, he’s the only cartoonist who regularly hits us with reruns. If that’s what I wanted I’d buy a tv.

They could put, In Government We Trust. A little Orwellian.

I kinda like “In___we Trust” , but then, I’m a Unitarian……

You’re kidding, right?

Please reread your Declaration of Independence. It states: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” We have freedom of choice concerning religion.

God is important to the Mittster. Do you know he baptised his dead father in law, who was an atheist and would have been upset if he had known? Of course W heard the voice of God telling him to go to war in Iraq. If you liked W, you’ll love Mitt.

A rerun when there’s an election campaign going on!?

Of course GT deserves a break every now and then. It just doesn’t stop people from missing him. What I think is bad is that Colbert and Stewart are off so much. It seems like they could get subs on occasion. It is different when you write a comic strip though. I am sure it would cost some $ to get the subs but who wants to watch reruns? The viewership must go down when they aren’t there, so that is not good for ratings, which isn’t good for their bottom line either.

…and after Syria, what?

Yawn. Afraid it’s not worth reading the strip at all this week. I always read Doonesbury reruns but this guy is painfully boring. Sure hope GT is finding a new audience with him ‘cos he’s losing me!

Minor edit to " In Gold We Trust"

Where is Guard sarge and PS Shearer? Working for the Romney campaign?

As were civil rights in the Sixties?

Procreators actually.

Gary could turn this rerun into a really great story line by connecting it to the present. He could have Random House offer Jeff a second book contract. That would REALLY gall his dad.

Same here.. It was a bigger concern than the economy, keeping the Affordable Care Act.. Oh wait Mitt said he was going to keep parts of that as well.. After months of telling any one that would listen he was going to get rid of it..

Hey he is not getting rid of god from any of the currency..

Unless he has been addressing atheists? He is still going to give tax breaks to the rich too.. Right? hard to tell with mitt.. Some times he is for something. Sometimes not. unless of course he should be.. Oh wait

He did say he would not get rid of god on any of the currency. So yeah I guess he is standing for something. Unless he is not today or tomorrow. Does any one know what he stands for? Seriously.. He flip flops so much you need a score card to keep it straight on any given day..

Has to be the second of the two evils…rebumblikan

Why don’t you just put umuruku on your coin. You don’t have to have stuff like trusting in anybody. After-all, who does trust these days. Our coins have the date and country on them. They don’t need anything else for the vending machines that they get put into.

Some of us prefer the British ten pound note to In God Wet Rust

Romney said the republicans made a mistake. They will now hold another convention to UNnominate him.

Note to self: Mammon is in! And please replace “one nation under God” with “on nation under Mammon”! That sounds so much cooler!

I’ve got to call you on that, Susan. Charles Schultz did not take breaks, he kept working right up to the day he died. His last Sunday strip appeared over a month after his death. That’s the only reason we’re getting reruns now — a pretty good reason!

Schultz took a 5 week vacay in 1997. He did have quite a record of no vacations. I’m not sure many of us would want to live like that even if you are passionate about your career.

Garry is on vacation. :)

Will churches and other religious institutions refuse your money if “In God We Trust” was removed from the currency?

Teddy was Dutch Reformed (Calvinist Protestant). He attended church regularly,I love the Sermon on the Mount.TR’s own words regarding the motto “In God We Trust” on money, in 1907 he wrote, “It seems to me eminently unwise to cheapen such a motto by use on coins, just as it would be to cheapen it by use on postage stamps, or in advertisements.”

Mammon is a term derived from the Christian Bible used to describe material wealth or greed, most often personified as a deity, and sometimes included in the seven princes of Hell.

*This is the last time I am going to respond to an idiot like you.

BRAVO!

Why does EVERYthing seem like a repeat this week??
