Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for August 29, 2010

Some family businesses do well and some don’t. Someone sometimes winds up with a horse’s head in the bed next to him; someone sometimes winds up with the other end of the horse in the bed next to her.

Eh, don’t knock the Summer Daydream. He’s in Seattle in the first place because the Daydream became real one year.

Time to bring Duke in as a consultant.

Dads starting to gray a bit. Looks good.

Mike must be the only person left on Earth who wears pince-nez instead of eyeglasses.

So what’s the business?

SCAATY you’re right! We don’t see many pince-nez anymore … and I NEVER see monocles.

Col. Clink was the last one I remember.

Does Mike’s nose look more like a popsicle stick or a sideways diving board in pane 6?

Time for Mike to check out Bernie.

Looks like a popsicle stick to me in panes 2, 7, and 8 as well.

Wouldn’t it be nice if this daydream turned out to be reality?

I mean, it’s happened before right?

All that talk about Lacey Davenport has me thinking…

I can’t help but wonder what became of Jeremy Cavendish. I mean, sure he was an idiot and a jerk…especially when it came to Lacey’s will and funeral. But still…

In panel 2 Mike looks like Garrison Keillor.

That’s usually the case.
