Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for March 06, 2014

Jocks always get the girls.

And he said women adored him, he could get dates for B.D., and called himself “lover boy.”

You’ve come a long way, GT!.

Thanks for these from the archives.

There is so much wrong with government these days beyond the dumb and dumber differences between the Democrats and the Republicans – GT, where are you when we really need you!

For example, who will stand up to big money and say “capital gains loophole?” Why is the home mortgage deduction a loophole but capital gains never makes any politician’s list?

But, Mike, in about 25 or 30 years, your going to meet a cute brunette, and you won’t believe your good fortune.

Loving these old Doonesburys!

I guess that is why my bros always played sports. All these years I had thought it was for the scholarships…

well stupidity and jocks/one and the same/ never go out of fashion, just the names involved.

hard to believe this is the forerunner to today’s Doonesbury.who’d a thunk it!

Boopsie?

The Tulsa World dropped Doonesbury this week. Thankful for GoComics.

That could indeed be Boopsie.

Thanks for the Harlan Ellison reference; I loved most of his stuff.

Boopsie will appear soon.

interesting to see how primitive the drawing was back then.

-I have no mouth but I must kvetch.

-LOL!!!!!

Did I miss the strip where BD’s name was revealed?

I’m going to go hear Trudeau speak tonight here in Kansas City, about “Wisdom and Leadership Depicted Through Humor”, in honor of the new McMeel Family Gallery of comic strips to be included in a new building on the campus of Rockhurst University. I’ll let you all know how it goes……..

The capital gains at issue are part of an investment bankers’ income, received and ordinarily would be taxed as ordinary income. Yet somehow, Investment Bankers and some other parasites, not only take exorbitant fees, but get taxed on it as capital gains without the normal holding period. Investment Banks and Bankers are among the largest campaign contributors and bundlers in campaign finances. Gold and certain other assets are unique, in that they never receive the lower capital gains tax rate.BTDT, JusSayin

Somebody upset about flunking out, perhaps? Regis University has about 25,000 students and has been on the U.S. News & World Report top 50 list for quality of education for a couple of decades. It’s accredited by the same body that accredits CU and CSU, and has a higher standing than either.

enjoying this walk through time. Getting to see the stuff missed the first time round.
