Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for December 01, 1976

Transcript:

Ed Bradley: Mr. Sanderson, you've been assistant gardener here at the White House during the eight years B.J. Eddy was head tulip. How do you feel about his leaving? Voice: Well, personally, Ed, I'm real sorry to see him go. B.J. understood that a flower that felt good looked good, so he went to great pains to keep up morale and good humor on the grounds. I'll never forget how during one particularly depressing period, B.J. arranged for a row of jonquils outside the Oval Office to burst into full bloom in the middle of January! Mr. Nixon ordered them cut down, of course, but the garden was in stitches for weeks! Plant: Hee, hee! That's great!
