Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for January 24, 2021

Appreciate the quiet for awhile.

On November 11th I knew that some version of this strip was inevitable. I would have been really disappointed to have been wrong. Thank you.

The bricks were the same .

Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose…

What was old is new again.

My sentiments exactly!

I wondered what Trudeau would do to mark the occasion. Neat.

Third worst US president in history.

Someone predicted this last week. I’m sure they’ll let us know who.

I’m fine with it. Anyone with a brain needs a break.

There need to be indictments and soon.

For openers, any secret pardons need to be flushed out.

For another, #TraitorTrump

I wrote maybe two years back that I was reminiscing about the good old days and was so hoping to see this comic— the picture of the sun coming up and the wall falling—finally, finally, finally it’s true and accurate again. THANK YOU! You remember how they said, “the system worked” in Watergate. What happened with Nixon was what was supposed to happen under the Constitution. We almost weren’t so lucky this time. Maybe God really does see some potential for this country after all. All my best. Leland

exactly what I was hoping for.

“Everyone’s exhausted”. So very true but wait, Trump left a going away gift to remind us of his superpowers: Impeachment Two.

Ha! I was right! Mr. Biden, tear down this wall!

Funny how BOTH of these clowns were Republicans…

So true

I appreciate the fact that they made the strip look like a yellowed clip torn out from an actual newspaper…

What happened in 74? I have trouble with yesterday.

What is really funny, is Nixon’s reputation has been upgraded because of trump.

Biggest loser, worst President ever = trump!

ah yes, I remember it well…

Trudeau left out the storm troopers in the last panel, huh?

In case you’re wondering:

Thanks Gary.

Ok, but don’t make a habit of taking off Sundays. We miss you on the other days too.

I have been thinking of that strip all week.

Look again. The walls and fences are going UP not down.

Everything old is new again.

And this is good?

Nice. I do seem to remember a lull in the hate when Nixon resigned. It does sort of feels like that right now. I wonder what’s going on in the mideast.

Now they can go undo the damage that Melanoma had done to the Rose Garden.

So that’s what happened to the big beautiful wall…

As Gerald Ford once said, “OUR LONG NATIONAL NIGHTMARE IS OVER!”

Enough said! I feel as good as I did then – maybe even better.

I’ve seen that cartoon before but I still say YAY!

How come he’s so political lately? I remember when this strip was all about the problems of talking bunny rabbits and friendly giraffes. And streaking.

Bravo! (I remember this from the first time)

There’s gotta be a Pink Floyd joke in there somewhere. Four years ago, some alternate lyrics were “All in all, it was just a tiny crowd in the mall.”

I found & reposted the 1974 strip on my Facebook homepage a couple of days ago..

In the 1970s, that wall was only metaphorical.

I remember reading this in 1974.

“No, no, everyone’s exhausted!”

But President Biden’s off to a strong start!

Let the sun shine in.

Tear down this wall, Mr. Biden.

And yet Nancy insists on continuing the drama while Joe preaches for unity.

There is so much good material on Biden already. How come we don’t see it?

quite fitting

It occurred to me, now that Trump’s out of office, is Godwin’s Law back in effect?

I remember this one well, back in 1974. I thought it was welcome then, but seeing it today I realize that it is far more welcome than it was the first time! I was wondering if GT was going to have it rerun (actually I was expecting it, or a modern variation thereof).

I was wondering if Trudeau would reenlist this famous entry from the Nixon era. Thanks, Garry!

Really appreciate seeing this one again. Thank yoh!

But try to tell some 30-something maga-head about any similarities and they can’t see any because the once and never again President didn’t do anything wrong.

Thanks, Garry, for helping to shoulder the load for these past five [fifty!] years. I think both Roland and Alec Baldwin have earned a break.

The ‘wall’ around the White House might be vanishing, and the ‘beautiful wall’ along the southern border might be on permanent hiatus, but a new wall needs to be built around the Capital Building (or at least, part of it), to protect the members of Congress who aren’t part of the attempted overthrow from those who will be incited to try again…

Which reminds me, has Gary ever said when he will resume drawing the weekday strip? It’s kinda hard to keep some storylines going one day out of the week.

Even if Trudeau never depicts Trump again, maybe before too very long he’ll offer a list of ALL of the crimes that Trump can be reasonably charged for, not just incitement but sexual assault, corporate fraud, and, well, I have yet to find what appears to be a complete list.

Also before too very long he’ll probably introduce us to a few fictional Capitol rioters as vehicles for his commentary on their trials, imprisonments, mindsets, and so on.

Something else I’d like to see him give us is an objective, sober description/chart of the Qanon satanic pedophile trafficker wackiness (which they stole from the Reagan years, anyway) — I doubt that I’ll find anything objective or sober on the Qanon sites themselves - and I can’t imagine anyone else who’d take the trouble to map it out. Surely The Red Rascal is prepared to fight those dastardlies in Trump’s place but he’d need to be briefed on it. :)

I posted it on Facebook the day after the election was final! HA!

Ah, memories.

Taking down the Wall around the Nixon White House.

Since, my friend, you have revealed your deepest fear

I sentence you to be exposed before your peers

TEAR DOWN THE WALL!

Amazing how history repeats itself…only this time it really outdid itself.

I was thinking about this strip (I’ve got one of the old books) and wondering if he’d recycle or make some kind of a reference to it. :)

As I recall, this was all too quickly followed by Ford’s pardon of Nixon. Let’s hope there’s no repeat there…
