Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for June 12, 2021

No, you can’t, Alex. That’s a genX thing. You millennials will have to develop your own style.

This strip is ©1996… and Mike recently referred to Alex as a 7-year-old.

So yeah… born 88 or 89, she’s definitely a millennial, originally called Gen Y.

I’m unclear on Kim’s age… but since the designation covers all the years between the baby boom and the Millennials… theoretically, 1964-1980, she has to be GenX….

and Mike is a boomer, cos he was in college in the 70’s.

Food?

It is good that she is emulating an accomplished woman. It’s sad on the dating sites when all a woman has to say about herself is that she is nice.

Trudeau really nailed the family resemblance in the last frame.

Kim is in the Sunday strip too little

Startling to me to hear Skittles referred to as food.

Mike can read Alex just fine.

Now little Alex is imprinting… good role model, though!

What food group do Skittles belong ?

I expect a shaved head and tattoos on both sides of her neck. Her kids will have their teeth filed to points.

There are worse people Alex could emulate – like her mother and/or Uncle Stupidhead

Psst, Kim! Skittles don’t qualify as food!
