Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for December 27, 2009

To dumb to know he’s walking dead meat.

Jeff is the type who gives the CIA info. Hear something? Tell it and collect the reward. Doesn’t matter if it is correct or not.

this is so wonderful - how he takes credit for his luck. God truly protects (in this case, GT) holy fools.

and gratitude too for Jeff’s mother: she has visibly aged compared with her husband - and he loves her still! (grateful sigh)

They can’t all be gems.

He looks just like one of the natives. A master of disguise!

If he’s not dead yet, he’s doing something right. There’s gotta be more to it than “blending in,” since Havoc is both unblending and alive.

There is a category, called “useful tools”, or perhaps “useful fools”, and Jeff’s picture is in the dictionary entry for it.

Jeff brings to mind some of the spooks I’ve known in the past. Don’t know how, but they all survived too.

@babka: If memory serves (from back before the Great Hiatus), Joanie was actually a bit older than the rest of the crew. Still, she’s could just taking on the years like Hillary did when she took the SecState job… rather a bit tougher gig than that “Governor of the Least Populous State” job.

wildcard - yep - I remember when all this was farmland…(thanks for filling me in)

susan - yep - I always wonder about the phrase “innocent people”….prolly only G-d knows how innocent I am. thanks to the fool who blew up his own privates (shudder) we may all be x-rayed down to the most minute bloody tampax. We “Joannes” will be sucking in our stomachs and hoping the radiation is not too excessive. all will wear serenity pampers, so we can take a dump in the privacy of our seats. times like this I’m thinking maybe the Amish are right, transportation-wise. A horse, a cart….. Only their diet has a lotta starch…..

(wait for it………)

(are ya ready?……)

(sure you’re ready?…..)

(okay, here ya go….)
