Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for December 15, 2020

Woulda, coulda, shoulda…

Be grateful you’re rid of that bimbo, Mike – a brighter horizon will eventually dawn.

And neither of them thinks about their daughter .

Off-topic, it occurred to me that as is the case with Duke, Earl, Zeke, and Honey, we can’t see J.J.‘s brother Jeff’s eyes, so that we’re left to guess how “innocent” or “cynical” he is. Then I remembered that we can’t see Mike’s brother Sal’s eyes either. I wonder how far this phenomenon goes.

You know who Mike is here? He’s Woody Allen.

Don’t slam the phone when you’re finished, dear…

so JJ you want to say good bye to your child and explain to her how your dream life doesn’t include her?

So is it this coming summer when Mike’s summer daydream of a new life in the Northwest with a hot Asian girlfriend comes true?

I think Kimmie’s still a bit underage at this point. She came to the U.S. after the fall of Saigon.

It can be EXTREMELY difficult to resist an attractive person who wants you temporarily.

I feel for you, Mike – a lady journalist for a major newspaper once offered me the same deal. I shoulda taken it but…

Do you still have Nicole’s number?

I thought Mike turned Nicole down because she gained weight and he was no longer attracted to her.

I think if you “have to tough it out” or “stay the course”, you’ll never be happy.

Anyone know what the date was on the Nicole story line?
