Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for May 10, 2010

You can’t stop a woman on a mission of self distraction.

There’s still Magic Jack.

Daniels? Not till after finals, Barticle.

WWJD, We Want Jack Daniels.

She’s nervous. Gotta a big case of rejection complex, stemming from when her mom walked out on her as a kid…

^Agreed. Leo’s going to have to be very patient with Alex till she can trust that she’s really his. Besides, who doesn’t attempt to blow off studying for finals?

Her neediness is going to drive him away, at least temporarily. Girl finds boy, girl loses boy…..

OK, so now we are going back to “Doonesbury Lite”. If this strip was actually being performed in front of a studio audience, we’d be hearing “Awwwwwww“‘s thoughout the week.

Yes, back to “Lite”. How about some strips on the new AZ immigration law to get the Comments page filled up!

Ah for the good old days of the TV on mute, the records stacked high on the spindle with the White Album ripping up the woodwork, a cigarette burning in the ashtray, a bottle of something effervescent nearby, my girlfriend curled up with me and me saying. “I’m studying. I’m really studying.” Oh, wait, that was Love Story.

ah. women in love. I remeber when it was 2 phones with 1 line and an answering machine with a tape. My sister picking up the kitchen line “Get off!!! I need to call brandon!!!” nothing on the tape, NO MESSAGES. today it’s to much.

Ah, Technology…

So many ways to get in touch with someone who does not want to be distracted.

Isn’t the 21st Century awesome?

Which of them is supposed to study for finals?

Ah sweet stebon who brays eight days out of seven.

From Ah sweet Devon, where it rains eight days out of seven.

Oh, Alex! How hard life’s lessons are. All things will be well. All manner of things will be well. You shall survive and know your worth, which is great beyond imagining. Trust Leo. Trust yourself.

Love it shytimes!!

Only in America is an education considered “elitist” and something to denigrate. How sad! People around the world would die for any education.

Alex just found the one kind of communication Toggle didn’t ban – what’s wrong with that. (Yes, she is a little too needy, and yes, it is probably due to abandonment issues).

To all real donkeys and mules:

Please accept my apologies for any possibly perceived denigration of your sweet melodious voices as mentioned in above comment.

pouncingtiger, that’s the best comment I’ve seen:

“You can’t stop a woman on a mission of self distraction.”

Why is Leo speaking with no hesitation?
