Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for September 20, 2019

Was BD John “Jan” Ridd in his past life?

Zonker has gone a long way in encouraging Boopsie to reveal her past lives. She should cut him some slack. (I wonder if she ever served in the court of King Oreo).

I can vouch for Boopsie. I wasn’t Lorna Doone of course, but I was the cookie named after the someone her character was based upon. Donna Lorne.

Saddest reincarnation story. Anna Nicole Smith was obsessed with Marilyn Monroe. After Marilyn ODed on it, they stopped making choral hydrate [aka Mickey Finns]. Anna wanted to be like marilyn so much she found a chemist to make her choral hydrate so she could get high the way her idol did.

And Zonker was a B character in Macbeth is his last life.

For a spaced out, hardcore stoner, Zonk sure has the knowledge when he needs it. I am truly impressed.

I love and am always amazed when a series goes by that I missed. I didn’t know Boopsie’s past lives were called out as BS.

Nobody was ever just some shmo in a past life. “I was a farrier’s assistant until I got cholera and died at 34.”

Just listen to the stories and shut up.

This is some good reading, keep it up.

Could someone explain what Zonker said that Boopsie felt was mean?

If a past life can be a fictitious character, then mine was Aang who must have been based off a real monk I don’t know of though I have not attained the power to bend any of the four elements. I believe it’s the air pollution permeating the atmosphere that’s preventing me from reaching my full potential.

Zonker…picky, picky, picky!
