Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for March 17, 2022

The 1996-97 Knicks were pretty good. They were 49-18 on the day this cartoon ran.

If Duke was as sharp as he’s supposed to be, he’ll have told a few of the “protesters” what he didn’t tell Alice, that Trump’s in back of it all. So that, should this all go south, Trump might not have quite enough plausible deniability to evade accusations of involvement. Not that that’d matter, but still.

“Show me the money”? Donald?

This is The Golden Age yet another time around.

As now we all know how that Vladimir, rode a sorry old horse right on inta there, and that one he rode in on ain’t got any skin on and caint haul his ass off to Fridgedor.

We need counter protesters from the other side.

Betcha that Sabatini has “protection” who will disperse those feeble-minded “protesters” for good!!

BTW, Trumpty-Dumpty STILL won’t pay Duke for his efforts!!

RIP DON IMUS

Smart- Duke could have used out of work actors, but these guys will connect with EVERY New Yorker.

Ah, the old Patrick Ewing days.

One thing I’m sure was happening in 1997: “Conservative” comic strip readers were b/tching about GBT writing/drawing strips about Trump instead of about Bill and/or Hillary Clinton. Meanwhile, Bruce “Mallard Fillmore” Tinsley was writing/drawing little else. Were “liberal” comic strip readers b/tching about that, or did they just accept that “conservative” comic strip artists did things like that? I suppose either is possible.

Did you (it’s not as though I’m the only one who goes off-topic around here) know that the name “Mallard Fillmore” was first used in 1982 in DC Comics’ “Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew,” as the name of the President of “the United Species of America”? He was even green, just like Tinsley’s Mallard. Yet, if DC Comics has taken ever taken action on this blatant if perhaps unintentional copyright violation, I haven’t heard about it. And yes, I know that both names are puns on “Millard Fillmore” (1800-1874), U.S. President from 1850 to 1853.

I don’t think there would be too much sympathy for limo drivers, but then again they look like bums

“Imus in the mornin!” I remember that jingle from the early 70’s!

It’s okay. Nobody listens to the homeless anyway. Makes it harder to make snap judgements!

But, but, they don’t look *anything like Stormtrumpers!

I want lunch,too.

Imus did rule for a long time. Never aligned with his opinions but he was one hell of a funny guy. I never did forgive Imus for giving Trump the support that might have made a difference in his election. I can tell you, if he were alive today, he would be ridiculing Trump mercilessly.

Sounds like the current Trump supporters only smarter.

In Panel 4, Duke’s hairstyle is channeling Boris Johnson from over twenty years in the future.

That guy standing next to Elmont certainly got a noticeable case of five o’clock shadow between panels 1 and 3.

On a separate note, perhaps announcing the details of one’s deception over a frickin’ bullhorn audible to anyone within a quarter-mile or so isn’t the best approach.

But it’s just a comic strip and I should really just relax. :-)
