Transcript:
Honey: An overdose just doesn't make sense, Curtis. Duke knew his limits. Curtis: Let's go over it again, Dean Honey. When did you last see him? Honey: Around 10pm. He'd just had his massage and he was unwinding with a fifth of... Curtis: Wait a minute, a massage? Who gave him the massage? Honey: Just a bursary student from the voodoo center... Curtis: Voodoo? That's it! Duke isn't dead, he's a zombie! We buried him alive! Duke: This has got to be the worst hangover in my entire life...

I’m probably going to have a hangover like that when I wake up in the morning.

Whoa, being buried alive is nowhere near funny…
Brother Bret over 8 years ago
Agreed. What is so funny about this story arc? First time I’ve seen it, but it’s hardly worth re-running.

Maybe the dialogue is a little stiff for some readers, or perhaps the idea of Duke 6 feet under is a little too deep.

YAY! Boy I’m glad Duke is back!

On the same gruesome note, just be glad they didn’t embalm him first. At least, that way, they wouldn’t have buried him alive. (Side note: Pat Robertson once tried to pray back to life a little girl who had been embalmed. And he was the Republican front runner for a little while back in the 1980 election.)

Geez, damn little humor among those who have commented.

Duke needs his morning coffin.

Okay. I didn’t remember him being dead…..
summerdog86 over 8 years ago
Rubbed into his skin from the Voodoo massage person.

“Racist?” Voodoo racist? Everything’s “racist” nowadays if you can’t think of a rational argument.

HAH! TOLD ya. NOBODY dies in Haiti…voodoo is rampant.

Wow, I’m surprised that none of the commenters was familiar enough with the history of Doonesbury to know that this was coming. The plot with Duke as an enslaved zombie ran on for MONTHS and was hilarious!
Sheila Hardie over 8 years ago
I’ve been waiting for it. No way he was dead.

On one hand, take comfort that there’ll be more hangovers where that came from.…On the other hand, there’ll be more hangovers where that came from…

Sweet dreams everybody

I’ve spent the entire arc line saying “he’s dead? Really dead? That’s impossible!”Yep, it was!

Finally! I was getting tired of the funeral thread.

LOL…only for Duke….there have been people who actually were buried alive as Zombies. Whoever said Duke is already “embalmed” was so right.
