Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for June 14, 2023

Spending 12 years in college until you’re forced to graduate is a Harris family tradition.

Years ago, a well known and respected college on the West coast had a problem with “professional students”, people who had degrees and graduated long ago, but wouldn’t move on. The college got rid of them, thus freeing up valuable slots for incoming students.

I wrote every one of my papers myself when in college — and I have the grades to prove it.

Think about Sonny Drysdale from THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES (played by the late Louis Nye). He was 35-year old and still in college—thanks to his insufferable snob of a mother’s constant coddling and babying!!

It was when Milburn finally put down and refused to further finance his stepson’s “education”, and he was forced to earn his own living, that “Mommie Dearest” transferred her “maternal instincts” to her pedigreed French poodle—who eventually had a litter with the Clampett’s bloodhound, Duke—LOL!!

Some people go to college for the purpose of a higher education and do everything possible to avoid getting it.

“The Slacker runs deep in this one…..”

Yes, the ethical aspects are usually an afterthought.

Why so many bad links lately?

Come on dude. College is no place for morals. You gotta get ready for real life. “Admit nothing. Deny everything. Demand proof.”

For 2023 replace “buying a paper off the web” with “using ChatGPT to write a paper.”

Trudeau was great as long as he stayed out of political commentary.

Total Trudeau…

After I had been working on two separate science majors for five years, the University told me it was time to graduate. :)

Yup Zonker’s 6 years as a sophmore at Walden were the best years of his life lol

STONE SOUP had an arc where the older daughter bought a paper off the web only she forgot to erase the name of the original author from the paper.
