Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for November 05, 2019

“Your listeners do.”

All 3 of them.

Andy’s a dream hopper.

“Why not? Your listeners do.”

Great line.

Gives a whole new meaning to “dead air”.

I seem to recall a lot of more conservative types complaining that Trudeau never lampoons the liberal side, guess they need to read more closely… And I like NPR! Once there was a time when being able to take a joke was a sign of good character.

They say talking to yourself is a sign of madness. I am thinking they mean talking to yourself, out loud. As for me I talk to myself all the time. I crack me up sometimes. I’m laughing out loud now. SO? What are you looking at?!

Did NPR train Mark to speak in that soft voice they have? That always puts me to sleep.

Get him some ointment for that burn.

Is then when Mark has a revelation about himself?

I thought I recognized this story arc. I remember thinking at the time that this seemed an odd twist for Mark, but I got used to it.

Didn’t he come out a while later?

Ouch.
