Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for May 17, 2016

Everybody is a critic.

He’s right. A beer can pyramid does make a statement. The statement however, may be somewhat less than flattering.

Campbell’s soup cans do. I cut a finger opening one last week.

The soda cans still have them.

Dog and cat food cans.

It wasn’t really all that much money by modern standards. In the 1980’s however it was quite a big stash.

Curtis in panel 4 is right.

And the irrational rise in valuation of art works works in Zonker’s favor..Come to think of it, irrationality on the part of others frequently works out in our favor.

Dude… Beer can pyramids have been built and rebuilt for generations. Try rebuilding a three-million dollar Monet painting.

Woohoo! Zonker has been amusing me for 42 years since I bought my very first GTrudeau book “Call Me When You Find America” in 1974 during a book fair to have some reading material my freshman year of high school. I am an owner of a nearly complete set of GTrudeau Doonesbury comic books dating back to when the cost was $1.95 for a book of comics. I even have his Yale book of comics.

I have seen his comics for years and as a conservative it has been quite an enjoyment to see the characters grow up and have kids. Mike and BJ and Zonker and Mark living their satirical lives.

BTW: If anyone wishes to buy an entire set of Doonesbury dating back 42 years drop me a line. I got forty or fifty books across the Watergate/Nixon years clear through to the Clinton years. Make an offer.
