Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for September 13, 2010

Jeff is delusional.

Don’t get carried away, Jeff…

I’m impressed that he realizes he’s a loser.

It’s not that he realizes that he’s a loser, it’s that he realizes that other people think he’s a loser. A subtle but important difference.

Jeff has actually had a very impressive life-experience - Class President at school, college graduate (even though it was only Walden,) CIA internship - for his age. Meanwhile, Dad drifts along like the other Walden losers, pretending to be a blogger.

Go the Red Rascal!

Two words for Jeff: graphic novel.

Wonder if Mr. Overkill has any Marvel contacts…

Yeah, that Red Rascal, what a comic book character. ;-7

Mr. Overkill probably needs a good laugh and Prince Poppycock was too busy.

Ha!

All Jeff needs is 45 years of 9-5.. Straighten him right out.

Good point, NebulousRikulau.

Maybe this time he’ll wear a tie. Perhaps a nice red one…

@davidblack, you do have a point. Chaotic as it is, at least Jeff has career goals and works the system hard to achieve them. He’s not your typical “helicopter generation” kid… as this discussion with dad illustrates, he resents having choppers around to tell him what to do (explains much, perhaps).

And the most telling words in today’s strip are…..”your loser son”!

Runs with Beer :

How do you post with such big fonts?

@MightAsWellBe: After “leaving” the CIA, Jeff has applied for a job with a Blackwater-type government subcontractor company called Overkill Inc and Mr. Overkill is the boss.

Pound sign glenbeck If you go to Pibgorn comments usually the first poster has a boilerplate with a link to all of the funky commands.

Pound sign 2 Pound signs 3 Pound signs 4 Pound signs

I’m guessing it’s the pound signs!!

hmm. i’ll bet overkill is a 9 year old kid in the bronx that likes stringing along loser dorks.

Gee, my keyboard doesn’t have pound signs. It has dollars only….. Will they work?

^ Just kidding!

A Comic Book personality in a Comic Strip. How awesome is THAT? (pound sign/pound sign)

@mightaswellbe; What’s wrong with sounding ignorant? I’m ignorant of lots of things, and like you, I want an answer to my questions.

Now being ignorant and proud of it, that’s what people should be ashamed of.

@Justice22; _My_ keyboard has a pound sign (#) over the 3 on the top row of keys. Doesn’t yours?

£?

Aulus,,, You got it!

I’m too lazy to install another language for my keyboard. I install a Spanish language and then something takes it out… Weird.
