Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for December 14, 2015

Even back in 1985, you couldn’t rent so much as an unheated basement for that low of an amount…

I visited a friend in midtown Manhattan in 1991. For a 4th floor STUDIO apartment, he was paying $1000 a month, and my jaw damn near fell to the floor: that was half again what my mortgage payment for my HOUSE was in Massachusetts.

Anyone know when Mr Trudeau is due to resume? He really should be taking on that moron Trump right now, surely!

What, ever?? Really? I thought he was just on hiatus while he writes some sitcom or something.

Oh and thanks — I didn’t know he was doing the Sunday strips. Just checked yesterday’s and I see he’s taking on that moron Trump…

Do you know how long since he resumed the Sundays? Hasn’t been doing them all along, has he?

It WAS while writing “Alpha House” which ran two seasons but has NOT been renewed for a third as yet. Good,funny show from Amazon if you can catch it.

I shared a rent controlled apartment in Greenwich Village during the ’60’s and early ’70’s The fixed rent was $89.64 per month ! .

, Due to circumstances stranger than fiction, we eventually managed to turn it into a co-op.and got placed on the historical registry.I cannot begin to imagine what one of those railroad apartments would go for today !

While my daughter was working as a t/a at Columbia, she had a two bedroom apt, for $1600, that I referred to as her hallway with 2 closets.

Deliberate continuity error – the panda’s body reversing out in panel 3.

Apologies if this is asked and answered, though I did check back a couple of weeks – any explanation of why we have been in 1985 for several months when it’s only meant to be a month a year?

It’s not him as much as how many people support him and what it says about our country that I find deeply disturbing:

“Tells it like it is”? What, like that there are no go areas in London where the police won’t go because they fear for their lives? Heck, there aren’t many places in London where I won’t go, as an unfit male in his sixties, and none of them are primarily Muslim.

Sadly, the voters like his ideas. How he fulfills them, not to much.

Must admit, I thought I was pretty safe calling Trump a moron on a Doonesbury talkboard. Didn’t think anyone smart enough to get Doonesbury would support him. Funny old world.

Add a zero to Mike’s offer and it’s still funny.

Why is everyone determined not to see the obvious: that Trump is on a so far highly successful mission to make his old crony Lady Macbeth…er, whats-her-name…look good in comparison, and to scare the pseudoliberals into voting for her?

Maybe if it’s a 2" X 2" closet, if you mean 2’ X2’, foget about it.

“… if he’d invested the million in a no-load S&P 500 index fund and done nothing else, his net worth today would be higher than it actually is. Great businessman.”.So – can we assume that your definition of a “great businessman” is someone who does nothing? In my opinion, a business man of any caliber is an individual who is willing to take the risk of doing something..“If he owns the planes personally like I own my car, he’s OK. However, if they’re company assets and the expenses are deductible from company revenues, even if he owns the company, their use counts as “in-kind” contributions to his campaign — which are illegal.”.I somehow suspect that such details are well documented. He may be an idiot, but you can bet that the accountants and lawyers that he hires aren’t.

It’s unfortunate that it “is” racist, homophobic, bigoted, angry and hateful.
