Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for August 12, 2020

You’re not in her shadow you’re no way close to her (sometimes you have to tell the truth).

And that outfit is definitely not it, Boopsie.

Meryl must have a very long shadow .

GT, good thing you had this career because it definitely was not in fashion design. You didn’t run this by Jane, did you?

There’s tacky, sexy, tacky sexy and sexy tacky. I think Boopsie is modeling a level below with that Walmart Outing/Thrift Shop blended look.

Meryl doesn’t do ‘tasteful’ skin flicks, so you aren’t in competition. Don’t worry about her.

Don’t I know it! I’ve had the same problem with Brad Pitt’s shadow.

I thought it was Goldie Hawn (not Meryl) who had the big hole in her in Death Becomes Her.

Boopsie, if you don’t want to live in her shadow, then break free, and make your own statement….oh…never mind, you just did…

Delusions of adequacy?

I never found Meryl to be very attractive.

What happened to the Tan? She looks like a Persil advert.

Does that dress have a cutout in it to show off the stomach area?

My son has been mistaken for both Kevin Spacey and Matthew Broderick, who don’t look anything like each other. But somehow he does bear a resemblance to both.

Why am I annoyed by Doonesbury repeats but not by Bloom County repeats?

If I recall, during the OJ trial there were daily media comments on the outfits worn by the woman who was the lead prosecutor (can’t remember her name). And no, I did NOT follow the trial; we all knew it would be bad long before it really was.

All my life I’ve been in Kong’s shadow. Good in the summer though.

It could be worse.

Poor Fay Wray had to live in the shadow of a Giant Ape.
