Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for December 07, 2014

I hope Kim isn’t pregnant because Mike’s sperm are past their prime.-Will Duke need a new roommate?-Sorkh Razil, declare victory and come home.-Did any other school accept her?-Do people still watch TV news?-I don’t see the Harris bloodline continuing.

Yeah, Mike, that was a good question. Maybe this is Trudeau’s answer to all those who post on this site and complain about the reruns during the week…

Panels 4 and 6 could be the same story arc…and news fodder for Roland! Who needs ebola?

“When you decide, let the marketing consultants know.”

“No, I mean in real life.”

“… Okay, still let the marketers know. But I’m still going to keep my business and personal lives separate.”

I saw him on a TV interview, it sounded like he’s tired of doing this and unless his show doesn’t work out he’s not gonna do it daily again.

All worthy arcs, and ironically, better than most of the actual arcs.

Could be Alex is pregnant again, so they will have greater role as grandparents. Interesting way for GT to let us know he has an overwhelming schedule here, what tv show was he on?

I LIKE this, Mr. T!

Much going on - go back to daily dangit!

Not me. I’ve ruined two nice monitors that way already.

Interesting that Ebola is still killing thousands but few case have shown up in the US, there’s a full-scale civil war raging in Libya another in Syria, and yet the US media acts like Iraq and elections are the only things going on.

I’m pretty sure this is a commentary on modern TV shows that have multiple story arcs going on at once as opposed to a single story per episode like they used to do way back when.

I’m hoping this means he’s planning on going back to dailies…

I like where this is heading. I think. Let’s keep Melissa in the rotation, please.

And wasn’t Drew’s news awesome?Just kidding.

Six new story arcs must mean Trudeau will be doing his daily comic strip again, instead of just on Sunday. I hope.

""No ACTUAL Ebola threat? No problem, we’ll just make one up!" ".Cute how so many seem to think Ebola as a potential threat is made up by Republican operatives..One would think any illness with such a high mortality rate, unknown original source and mutatable virus would be a threat even to those who somehow think it doesn’t matter as long as it mostly only kills Africans.It is a shame how racist and hardhearted some are..Okay, if you don’t think it is really important, just pretend it is important in case some disease is found to hurt white people as badly. Finding ways to cure the unimportant one might help in curing the important ones..(Gotta talk their language.)

I can see Kim with a baby bump.

The pregnancy jumped out to me: who’s is it? Kim? Alex?

“and we can thank our for profit only Big Pharma for not working on a cure till now.”.Hundreds of nations, thousands of medical research institutions and doctors, all deciding how to use their limited resources of time, money and lifetimes to deal with more thousands of killers and the big pharmaceutical companies are blamed for not curing it already. And if those evil, avarice-defined pharms have found a cure, they need government permission to produce it lest it have even worse side effects and yes, somebody SHOULD pay for the production and distribution.

You mean this is NOT indicative of the return of new weekday strips? Sigh.

Fake?

Sorkh Razil reminds me of Harry Flashman from “The Flashman Papers” by George McDonald Fraser. A very funny and yet informative series of novels.

Ah yes a fresh Doonesbury. I prefer the 21st Century vintages as the wines from the 70’s and 80’s are mostly flat and sour. These recent examples are light, airy with a hint of cherry and chocolate. 90.5 rating

Put me in mind of the Grateful Dead: “trouble ahead, trouble behind. Goodness knows that notion just crossed my mind.”

And how fast did Sam go from being 13 to deciding on an institution of higher learning?

I guess this is his way of passive-aggressively ending the strip. A more honest approach would be more appreciated.
