Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for April 13, 2023

The President of France couldn’t make it; on an important trip to China.

Jeremy sit! Shut up!

Elmont is making a great stand. Coherent for a moment.

Joanie looks like she’s ready to throw that bum out bodily!!

Like the Coneheads; if you say you’re “from France,” you can get away with anything.

Great ad lib from Elmont.

I wonder if there is press coverage of this.

“I’m standing in for the President of France.” Will have to use that line somewhere.

Elmont is easily the most stable person in this entire strip.

“old boy”? Isn’t that a Britishism OSLT? I was unaware Jeremy is supposed to be British. Seems kind of a non sequitur. So Jeremy actually just out-non-sequitured Elmont ? Not many people could manage that. ;-)

I’m having difficulty reconciling the background of the last two frames.

Two of the strip’s more bizarre characters squaring off against each other.

Tell it true, Elmont!

When is he going to fire one up?

With Lacey gone,who’s going to tell Senator Alphonse D’Amato of New York to “please shut up,Dear”?

He’s still alive,so that is still a necessary function

This is shaping up to be quite an interesting funeral

Was there ever any conjecture about Elmont being Zeke’s long lost father?

Sacré bleu!

Elmont is giving the best funeral speech so far, then Jeremy had to go and interrupt.

Typical.
