Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for February 07, 2013
Transcript:
Alex: Gram seems a little out of sorts. Rick: She's adjusting to her new job. All her co-workers are very young, very ambitious strivers. She doesn't really feel like she fits in. Alex: Oh... poor gram. Maybe I could reboot her hair. Rick: Good thought. It's been years.

He says this as he looks at the soon-to-be-mom who isn’t exactly a Vidal Sassoon protege !

She works with the young and the stupid, Alex. I don’t think you giving her advice on hair is going to cut it.

I’ve always liked Alex. Gonna follow her own path, do things her own way, learn things the hard way. 25 years married to someone like that.

Rick could use a refurb himself.

Maybe Joanie should just claim to be Native American…

Alex’s hair is way more in need of rebooting than Joanie’s.

You know what they say. Messy hair is the sign of a creative mind. Who do you want to be? Albert Einstein or Ron Burgundy?

Umm…Alex, we love you but your hair is a hot mess.

I have waited long enough for Alex and Drew to finish their conversation from well over a week ago, now. I want to know what Drew said!! Now, please.

I actually like Alex’s hair. And why is Rick not addressing the baby bump situation that was dropped like a bomb yesterday?Gram’s hair is not as interesting.

And Rick’s beard could use a trim as well.

Rick seems to have less grey than before! Why do the Doonesbury men age so slightly, but the women get all the rooster necks and pouchiness? I realize Rick’s neck is conveniently hidden by the beard, but come now…

JJ was born in 1973, making her a 40 year old grandma!

As a 25 year old, Alex seems rather young for a mom nowadays, though maybe she is old enough.
montessoriteacher over 11 years ago
It says online that JJ was born in 1973 and Alex 1988, though this doesn’t seem right.

Cleverly ambiguous remark, Rick. ;)

I like Alex’s hair — it’s cute and it suits her no matter what she does.

Those who can, do. Those who can’t, teach. Those who can’t teach, preach. Preach on, Cali. I think you have a call.
