Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for November 13, 2012
Transcript:
Jeff: Zip, how is it you're still a student here? Zipper: You didn't hear? I was granted tenure-- the first Walden student ever so honored! Being tenured means I can devote myself to lifelong learning without the fear of graduation! Jeff: What happens when you retire? Zipper: I become student emeritus-- a revered icon!
Awesome, whether he realizes it or not, Trudeau has created two absolutely perfect icons for today’s Democrats. The mooching slacker on a fully-funded, lifelong gravy-train, and the narcissistic faker with delusions of talent and relevance. The irony is almost too rich for words.
