Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for July 22, 2020

You could always get a job as a pharmacy assistant in the Walmart and take orders from some kid half your age.

It’s been a long time, but I still remember how miserable my late father was when his independent pharmacy was driven out of business by what was then called ‘Thrift Drug’ (later, it became Eckerds and then CVS). Dad had worked so hard to make his business succeed, but even the neighbors went to Thrift because they bought in bulk. Dad couldn’t compete. He did end up working for a chain (but not Thrift…)

Wally World brings to mind the question, “How much is enough for some people?”. There are numerous examples of them raising their prices after killing off the competition.

“Then sell something else” Isn’t that basically what Ivanka (the actual 1st lady) told the American people recently about jobs?

Gil wouldn’t have to worry about our Walmart. They usually don’t have whatever medication is prescribed. Yesterday they were out of one of the most commonly prescribed antibiotics.

This is what happens when an irresistible force meets a movable object. Still sad.

Continue to run your drug store, but now just focus on the high profit margin recreational drugs!

It’s a short journey from selling drugs to doing drugs…poor Gil!

Eye-skanka is “being best” the way she knows how.

Not first lady. Just the president’s mistress.

Would be funnier if not true . . .

I know where he can get the corn-cob pipes!
