Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for December 21, 1989

Transcript:

Marilou: Phil, I just don't understand. After all we've been through... Phil: That's just it. I'm getting old. I don't need to be reminded of it! When I look at the woman next to me, I want to see the good times yet to come, not the life I've already had! Marilou: Phil, that's just cruel! There's no other word for it! Phil: Marilou, I'm sorry, but I deserve a trophy wife! I've been a big, fat success! I've earned her! Marilou: I see. And have you introduced her to your parole officer yet? Phil: See! That's a typical first-wife remark!
