Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for March 08, 2012

The Red Rascal gets shot down.

Why risk all they have on one brief fling?

Remember she takes her cut before he gets his — She knows how all those zero’s add up

Women are always using that excuse with me.

Frankly, with his social skills, it will probably be difficult to get any gal into his hot tub. There’s a difference between fantasy and reality.

She. Is. The best.

Intelligent, seksy, beautiful, classy — Becca is Doonesbury’s best character ever. Let’s see a lot more of her — and you can take that any way you want.

On IWD our gal is representen.

Marry her Jeff. She will level you out…..

The risk Becca can’t take is ending up in Jeff’s next book.

well played Becca, well played indeed

Stick with younger girls Jeff. She is way too smart for you and the younger girls will grow up to be as smart as her, having dealt with the likes of you.

Oh darn. He’s going to end up in the hot tub with that travel assistant again, isn’t he.

Did he actually buy the house? I thought he was looking at it.

Here’s something to salivate on:

Duke writes his memoirs and meets Becca……

Oh, the stories, the stories!!

They can’t date. Their hair color clashes with each other.

Becca’s a great character and her interactions with Jeff are just delicious!

“…just can’t risk it”.

How great is that?

Beg, Jeff, beg! Na, it’s not gonna happen….

Thank you for the perfect reject line, can’t wait to use it next time I’m invited on a “date” like that one!

She’’s a red-head and her name is Becca – just love it :)

Poor Jeff. He reminds me of Theseus, son of King Aegeus of Athens. He proved his worth in war but never found true happiness in love. Thus the old saying “lucky in war,unlucky in love”. I think GT likes Greek mythology too.

Oh, I see where this is going: Becca and Melissa in Jeff’s hot tub while Jeff’s on a book tour…(this IS Jane’s World, right?)

Well done, Bec. Put it on him.

Knew there was a reason I liked Bec.

C’mon – its obvious Becca plays for the other team.

Becca may be Trudeau’s coolest character ever. There are only two others running, Kim and Alex’s college roommate (who seems to have disappeared), but neither of them have Becca’s bite.

Correction: Should have stated “coolest female character ever.”

Becca’s immune to the Red Rascal’s charms? She must be a lesbian. Or has a modicum of common sense. Or both.

Nice to see an intelligent woman in the strip. Of course, if Jeff had a clue, he just might be insulted.

I think Melissa belongs on that cool list, myself, and no way should she end up with Jeff the clueless.

Becca’s just playing hard to get. The moment she senses Jeff is about to give up, she’ll surrender. Jeff’s about to be stoked and he don’t even know it.

Poor sonofabitch can’t even get laid ………..

Just wondering, is it possible for one person to post under one user name, disappear then reemerge under another user name, or for one person to post under multiple user names and confuse people with a one sided dialogue?

I don’t want to sound like a Machiavelli/Tupac conspiracist, but ever since the Truman Show, I don’t know who to trust.

Agreed. A very tackful and graceful move. Becca is aces.

She’s trying to tell you – she has the heart of a gold digger!
