Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for June 11, 2023

I’d feel weird smoking a talking plant.

Little Head Shop of Horrors

The fact that Zonker is doing the books is even more disturbing than the talking weed.

yes! this! and i don’t even do the pot anymore! it is golden, though.

Looks to me like Zipper’s gained some weight in panel 7.

That’s OK, Zip. Now that I’m fully retired, I generally get up right around the crack of noon.

Stanley (‘Sup my dude’)? How about Stan Lee! (‘Excelsior!’)

I’m greatly looking forward to the Sunday strip on Trumpty-Dumpty’s 37 indictments!!

5:49 AM in the state of New Jersey, where private use of weed is legal. Am I buzzed at this early hour? Yes.

But nobody smokes the leaves anymore. It’s all flower.

I wonder how many versions of this were drawn with little faces on Stanley.

I’m starting to feel even Trudeau is getting tired of Zipper.

Leave it alone, Zipper.

I like getting small.

In these summer daydream episodes, it’s usually clear which is the daydream and which is the return to reality. But not here!

Zonker is starting to sound like Mike. I guess it comes for us all. :/

Definite “YES”

It’s started. AI is taking over. Cigarettes will tell people to quit smoking. Maybe that’s a good thing

I wonder what will happen when the weed business becomes a Wall Street enterprise. As a disruptive thought of my own, how about screaming hot weed?

Be careful! Remember Audrey 2 from Little Shop of Horrors!

In my daydream, I’d create a female specimen, with the voice of Cecelia Bartoli…

Don’t waste your time trying to turn a weed into a tree. As far as I know, “bonsai” doesn’t work on weeds. Yes, marijuana is a weed and grows wild in the midWest. I had a Latin teacher who told me how the kids would chew on the seeds in Ohio.

Stanley reminds me of a mellow Audrey II.

Does it really qualify as a DAYdream if you’re ASLEEP? ;-)

When did Zonk acquire a work ethic? I musta zoned out that decade…

Ya think?

Better to go for the plants with the 7 frilly leaves than the 3 shiny ones.

Mucho gusto!

Cannabis plant leaves are too big to be in scale for a bonsai plant (or so I’ve been told ….).

A one-and-done daydream? You’re getting ripped off, Zipper: Mike always got at least a week.

anyone remember the really old (college day comics) when Zonker and his plants would talk to each other.

I rue the days I voted to legalize pot. It smells soooo bad.

There were talking cannabis plants on “Disjointed”. Great show!!!

As I mentioned before,Colorado legal pot is in an economic slump and they’re only the 6th most productive and profitable state.

This was a nice nostalgia trip back to Zonker’s “talk to plant days”.Patty The Potted Palm,wherefore art thou?

the roll out of bed to start work at noon wouldn’t be bad if he worked until 9pm.. and did actual work until then.
