Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for May 15, 2011

Way to go, Red Rascal! Terrorize the terrorists.

Nice to know Rebecca Black is good for something!

Jeff can call his story “The Ransom of Red Rascal”- a title as original as the story line.

Jeff’s real vocation is obviously writing adventure stories for middle-school boys. I bet he could make a living turning “Red Rascal” into a series of books ala the Hardy Boys. Or maybe into a comic strip … - Oooh, that’s an idea, a Doonesbury character who is a cartoonist! Offers some interesting possibilities in the hall-of-mirrors vein. A cartoon about a cartoonist. - Anyone remember “How to Murder Your Wife?” that was a live-action cartoon about a cartoonist who is accused of actually doing what his cartoon character does. -

Except for cartoon logic, Red Chief and Red Rascal would be cut up and thrown in the river. Damned cartoon logic!

I have flagged you, sir (or madame, as the case may be), and I’ll continue to do so until you stop being a tiresome monomaniac. Fair enough? — and we’re done.

He would be the Repubs only chance!

Taliban didn’t pay, they just cut their price to $90. Check the strip for 4/10 for the 1st part of this story.

> gladly< we put up with your clone all last year. Go away. You make NO sense and aren’t even funny/clever in your stupidity. B-o-o-oring!

Well said, Jeanne. Gladly must have ingested some of that hallucinogenic frog juice from today’s BC.

Don’t worry . . . . Be Happy . . . Do, do do do doodie do a doodie do . . .

I’ve got a brand new pair of roller skates You’ve got a brand new key

@ glady. you have been flagged, numerous times. Get the clue?

Folks! Don’t feed the trolls, just flag them!

Gee thanks, Doughfoot. Now I’ve got that stupid song stuck in my head for a while. It was bad enough having to play it every day back in a previous life as a DJ. Now it is back to haunt me again.

Met her on a Monday and my heart stood still…

IIIIIIIIIIII’mmmmmmm SAILiiiiiinnnnng awaaaaaaaaayyyyy…

Our local paper cut out the first two panels for space. It makes more sense this way.

… who let the dogs out?

I’m in no danger of having the song mentioned in the strip stuck in my head, because I’m entirely unfamiliar with it. (And if you think I’m goint to Google it, you’re mad.)

Trudeau actually sat through enough of that “song” to get that many words? That’s dedication to his art & takes a stronger man than I.

Da do run-run-run, Da do run-run.

Oh! To heck with it! The William Tell Overture. “Ta-dap, ta-dap, ta-da-da-da-da-dap.” Now you can all go nuts with me! (He-he!)

I googled a few of the words given. It’s Friday by Rebecca Black. I youtubed it. I listened to it. I stopped it in the middle… This is a masterful instance of a time honored plot device, a hilarious way to roast a cruddy work of art. Another example: In Bloom County, an alien exploded after watching Tammy Bakker sing.

Anyone who has ever read any of the previous Red Rascal strips knows that this is NOT how he really got away.

So the SEALs didn’t do this one? Or did they cough up the $90?

This was great. Too bad there’s no tag feature on this site anymore.

Mercedes Lackey had a character torment elven telepaths by singing various They Might Be Giants songs! (Chrome Circle)
