Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for August 15, 2014
Transcript:
Ginny: ...so, Lacy, that's the dilemma we find ourselves in! Unless one of us drops out, the voters get two more years of Philip Ventura! Dick: Now, just a minute, young lady! Lacey has been running for that seat for twelve years! And no one in this community is more deserving of it! Ginny: I realize that, Mr. Davenport! That's why I came here to tell your wife that I am withdrawing from the race! Dick: Oh... forgive my two cents. Lacey: Dearest, maybe you could leave us alone for a minute. Ginny: God, I hate being noble!

Dick, let the ladies handle it. There is a buff breasted flycatcher in the backyard you might be interested in.

This was better the first time around without all the missing strips. Anyone who sees this for the first time is missing out on much of the context.

You can tell this was written during a different era. No politician today would act in anything less than his/her best interests.

of course, you all could have done what I did and collect every Doonesbury collections book for the past 40 years.Rereading them on a very slow day is extremely entertaining.(like Uncle Duke telling Mac while Gov of Am Samoa.(I am a reasonable man so I know this isn’t snow" while standing in the ocean during a snowstorm) or all the strips he did about Nixon with just a wall in each panelI have found hundreds of gems like these. I even have the very first collection-when GT was in college and had the strip in the local student paper

So, she’s been running for twelve years but lost each time?? She must be very tired. Two more years of Ventura, I guess that’s the guy who beat her last go-round.

Egad, I forgot that Lacey was a blonde. She was silver-haired for so many years.

Ginny’s way of saying, “My goals are not centered on myself, but on the good of those around me.”

@WeakstreamCharles Schulz avoided showing cats in his strips because he couldn’t draw them.
