Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for November 10, 2020

“And you have to call me Mr. Duke.”

“My son, one day all of this will be yours .”

So, who is the Duke of Earl? Is it still Gene Chandler?

Good save by Duke! No matter how spaced out he his, his wit is always razor sharp where money is concerned.

You can see why Duke ultimately likes this kid.

So many ironies, so little time

Hey kid, don’t get familiar. He’s still your Dad. Like it or not. …sad

“You’re not my father. I don’t have a father.” What a trite line, and Trudeau probably used it for that exact reason.

I’m currently 76, and I still spend some time every year wondering what I’d do if some 55-year-old stranger showed up at my doorstep and said “Hi, dad.”

“Earl, I am your flammer…” ☺

Was this strip published before Luke found out who his father was?

I’m surprised that Duke didn’t ask the kid for an allowance…

Duke makes no allowance for casual relations…

At least he’s met his match.
