Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for November 30, 2015
Transcript:
Duke: You got back just in time, Honey. I'm going to need your help during the medical conference we're hosting this week. Honey: The college is hosting a medical conference, sir? Duke: Yeah, on ecstasy. The DEA, in its wisdom, has just declared ecstasy a big, bad, schedule I no-no! Honey: I don't think I'm familiar with that drug, sir. Duke: Shrinks have been using it for years, but the kids, as usual, ruined it for everyone. They turned MDMA into a damn party drug! Honey: MDMA? Oh, you mean methylenedioxymethamphetamine? Duke: Knock it off, Honey.
Hi, Trudeau lovers and haters! I sneaked a peek at the comments on yesterday’s strip, because it was so weird on different levels I thought I’d get your all’s slants on it. Thanks, AKHenderson, for pointing out the Russian-pilot connection. I’d been kind of subconsciously wondering about that, but hadn’t plugged in to the unfortunate incident in Turkey. (Also, AK, good reference to the arugula.) Also, I was wondering who the two candidates are with backbones, leadership skills, and somewhat moderate views? From the context, I’m assuming they are Republicans. Really, I’d like to know.
