Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for February 20, 2014
Transcript:
President King: As Walden moves into this exciting new for-profit space, some may wonder about her education standards. Well, I'm happy to announce that we have every reason to believe the new Walden will be partly accredited! Friend: Partly! Wow! Zipper: Game on, University of Phoenix!

I assume the Old Walden was not accredited at all.

If’n yer gonna stick us w’ reruns, Gary, at least make ’em GOOD ones.
Like the search for America on Motorcycle.
Or Mike’s Inner-City Oddyssey.
Not this stale junk we saw just a few years ago.

I’m fine with partly accredited. Lots of accredited folks fell for the Alan Sokal hoax. And not just the gibberish part – they bought the thesis that quantum gravity is a social and linguistic construct.
I wonder if Sokal could write a random essay generator whereby one could get a University of Phoenix humanities degree by autopilot…

Start the strip again from the very beginning.

People have suggested that if GT is into reruns that he ought to use his earlier material. The reason he doesn’t is because people would be able to see how far he’s fallen since his salad days when he was an equal opportunity satirist and not the one-note one he is now.

Never a good idea to show up at a job interview with an unaccredited diploma.

lol. watching how easily Americans bought the Reagan BS is not something to see again. once was bad enough as we are not witnessing.
murder of the American Dream is not something to behold more than once. all the “blowback” by the Right, well, that’s all the “proof” needed to show how easily duped and scared Americans bought the BS Reagan sold.
what’s really sad is that the white American are paying to screw themselves as teh last 40 years show.
lol. what a sad sight to behold and to live among such frightened spectres. ah the American Way

Credits from the old Walden weren’t accepted anywhere. The new Walden will have some cash flow and therefore some money with which to bribe some of the sleazier accrediting bodies frequented by the other for-profits who have to add the small print to their television ads mentioning that credits may not transfer. Yes, you too can accumulate a ton of student loan debt and qualify for a menial job. It’s kind of a reverse diploma. If you shell out to attend one of those, you’re then certifiably ignorant.

The reason the Reagan years aren’t relevant any longer is that, like FDR, both parties have appropriated him.For the republicans, they forget that they wouldn’t have him in the party now, and for the Democrats, they forget the damage he did to America.

Can you be more spedcific?

Well said, my friend.I’m particularly amused by “rpmurray” (the person who posts virtually the same snarky, whiney comment here every day) categorizing GT as being one-note!
NorCalChuck over 10 years ago
HECK! . . . I think he should do his strip based on the comments about his strip.They both seem to run along the same track.
BaconBoyCamper over 10 years ago
AMEN, Brother!I concur.If they are unhappy, they should vote with their feet and walk away… (or vote with their mouse and click off…)

Partly accredited! You got to try and reach for the stars or try and achieve the unreachable.

I do believe that those here complaining about the reruns are dong so in large part because these comics repeated are barely a year old, if that. Plenty of us would love to see some of the more classic Doonesbury, even if it was only a few years, old rather than that which is just a few months from original publication.

l liked this arc. I think the complainers are jackasses.
