Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for June 24, 2014

He meets all the necessary qualifications.

His wife would know.

Oop… I don’t think I would keep a candle under the powder horn above the mantle. Could be an explosive situation.

Front line infantry.

Coming up, “When this is all over…” ;-)

Is this before Trudeau started changing a single background detail in the fourth panel?

You don’t win wars by dying for your country, You win wars by making the other dumb b..tard die for his country!

And now we know where Zonker got his good looks…

Not if you’re a Yalie, as is Trudeau. As Nathan Hale, the Revolutionary War spy and a Yalie, said before being executed by the British: “I only regret that I have but one life to give to my country.”

“The correct answer is “I am prepared to kill my enemy for his country!”.more like “I am prepared to kill my enemy for my benefit.”Nothing new there..And after the war was over folks wondered what to do with the Hessians they had captured. England didn’t want to pay for failures, Germany didn’t want them. We turned them loose and made Americans out of them too.

Nate was Zonker before Zonker was cool……

Side note: the minutemen were also a militant right wing group in the 1960’s.

Zonker? Who knew?
