Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for April 02, 2011
Transcript:
President: No talk yet of a restoration... Duke: What a surprise. Earl: Good morning, men! President: I don't understand it... Earl: How're we all getting along? Duke: We're not! President: We are, but for a few cultural differences. For instance, I crave and miss the company of goats. Your father does not. We're something of an odd couple. Earl: He's a riot. Duke: No! We are in no sense a couple!

I’d watch out for attempts to couple…

You can tell who wears the pants.

Junior’s clearly enjoying this.

I really don’t want to know why he “craves and misses the company of goats”.

Call the networks and get an agent!

I think we’ve got a reality show hit on our hands… “This Old Despot.”

If you really want to know why he craves the company of goats, look up “stump broke”.

I think those two (and a goat) should be on Oprah. “Surviving life together in retirement”.

A riot. That’s how it all started.

@cdward:

Odd couple? I see Bmzklfrpz as Oscar Madison but can’t picture Duke as Felix Ungar.

Wow has Duke ever mellowed…Not so long ago he would have a bottle of Wild Turkey in one hand and a Luger in the other firing wildly in his Excellency’s general direction.

came to believe that The Great Goat (related to My Pet Goat) could restore him to sanity, a condition he’d never experienced.

DUKE: No, Trff, that’s not spaghetti. That’s linguini!
TRFF: [SMASH!] Now, it’s garbage!

Yeah, they got kind of a Flo and Eddie thing going there.

Hey, he could be an Al Q. You know how evil THEY are.
freeholder1 over 13 years ago
to the neo-con trolls: I’m merely pointing out that degrees of evil is a preposterous notion. We shouldn’t be backing anyone in this neck of the woods and shouldn’t have in Iraq. Wait till you see what happens when re REALLY withdraw troops in the I.

Bmzklfrpz, it’s like this…
When your people - you know, the ones who are supposed to worship you? - decide to burn your palace as a sacrifice (especially with you in it!), it can only mean one thing…
YOU’VE BEEN FIRED!!!
And Duke… If Bmzklfrpz wants to be around goats so badly, didn’t you make friends in a funny farm a while back?

He can’t shoot Bm yet. They’re on the hook to Overkill for the 50 formerly owed by Jeff. It’s unclear whether Overkill still owes it to Karzai. Bm on the other hand, is right not to pay Duke, even if he could, as the PR campaign is an obvious failure. Nobody does restoration on spec, unless there’s popular sentiment for a monarchy claim, which is a simple arms tranport.
