Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for February 16, 2012

I said she was gonna be trouble!

Friday’s strip is gonna be reeeeeeeeally interesting!

I hope she mentioned that they are stuck in the snow and he should send help.

I don’t know what will happen next and I like that a lot.

@ mythreesons (from yesterday): I’m in Easthampton, but am more than familiar with all the towns you mentionned. It is a great place to live.

Maybe Leo got dressed up for the Darth Vader lady?

Alex has perfect instincts/radar & spot-on timing. now we find out whether all’s fair in love and war.

Repeating… For such a smart girl, she sure is dumb sometimes. That new patch is going to be spinning around his head tomorrow.

Leo why haven’t you answered my text? //When did you sent it?//Five minutes ago!

My daughter once called me at about 2 PM and asked if I had seen her email she sent me. I asked when she sent it and she said 9 that morning. Shame I had a job that kept me from sitting and watching for email all day!!

She’s as nutty as her mother.

Or, better yet, just say it never came through. I get a quite a few days-delayed voice-mails and texts.

are all redheaded women in this strip all about the money? Becca, & this gal who doesn’t care what trash she’s paid to narrate?

Back on Jan. 16, Sherm tells Leo about Skye, describing her voice as “calm and menacing” — When Leo says wouldn’t a deep male voice be more menacing, Sherm says: “You’ve never been married have you . . .?” So here’s the lady with the awesome voice on one side of Leo and the incoming marriage proposal on the other side. It’s gonna get real interesting for Leo.

Maybe Toggle will be tickled, or should I say, switched on.

Leo doesn’t know it, but his life is about to be ruined. I hope for his sake he says “no”.

Can’t wait till tomorrow!

She has serious mental issues that need to be worked through. Until she does, Leo should drop her. But won’t, because he has issues, too.

Alex doesn’t have “serious mental issues.” She’s just young and socially inept, but some inner sense is warning her about potential trouble with Red. You know the cell battery will die before Toggle gets back to her.

babka: “are all redheaded women in this strip all about the money? Becca, & this gal who doesn’t care what trash she’s paid to narrate?”

She’s a voice-actor. It’s a gig. Liberal actors sometimes play conservative characters, and vice versa, and they do the job to the best of their abilities. It’s called “being a professional.”

If Skye is morally culpable for reading the script, is Leo morally culpable for helping to record it?

Besides, if she sticks around as a semi-regular character, later in the year she might very well record spots for Obama. Maybe she’ll even work for free!

“All about the money”? Babka, you must have a lot of cash to spare or you wouldn’t be so judgmental about people who are just supporting themselves.

What Alex said: “If we talk about it, I might not do it.”Translation: “If we talk about it, Drew will beat me to him.”

Will Toggle have a new, bedazzled eyepatch for the wedding?

Talk about life imitating art, look at the bs story this couple made up about being stuck in the snow for 3 day in a Porsche. There’re telling this dramatic story to the rescuers, while the picture tells an entirely different story. Smart Ass Alex should’ve gotten stuck with the right person.
