Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for February 21, 2023

Get a D@MN ANTENNA!

We only had 3 networks and PBS and we managed to be entertained!

The homeless are entertained by the sights they have to see every day of their existence

i don’t remember any homeless when i was a kid.. in the 50s.. the 1950s.

Ah, the hierarchy of needs…https://www.flickr.com/photos/dullhunk/9730894552

Yeah, but you weren’t the kid who had to hold up the rabbit ears just right so Dad could watch the Cubs game with Harrey Caray.

Happy Mardi Gras everybody!!

Thanks to St. Raygun for closing the mental hospitals and cutting funds so that all those people were thrown into the streets with no safety net. Like he saved a lot of money for the already wealthy.

Fancy words don’t buy the groceries, either!

The upside of having only a handful of channels, we all read more…

What about the 30 groundskeeper jobs?

There is a big future in shoplifting for those kids, and social services are everywhere. Maybe not cable TV

Trudeau has left us a great American aphorism: “Fancy words don’t pay for cable.” …although we’ll have to change “cable” to “streaming” and probably, in a few years, to “transmissions to your cranial entertanment/news/thought-control implant”.

The work house.

“Fancy words butter no parsnips,” according to some wit from the 19th century.
