Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for July 11, 2021

Couldn’t figure out how the brakes worked?

Did he have a helmet on under the turban?

Now that’s hitting for the cycle!

So is this the end of the Red Rascal?

This guy’s as bad as Zipper. Are they related!!!!

Launch on DRAGON BALL used one of those!

I’m kinda confused.

Poor toon, kind of a waste.

He should have bought a motorized pogo stick instead.

“…very bad conclusion…”

What a tragic way to end a character!

Those electric unicycles are hilarious. I can’t look at anyone using one without thinking of Thor from Hart’s B.C. striplinks to a couple of pics to show what I mean:https://johnhartstudios.com/meet-the-actors/thor/http://nmmc.net/Blog_Resources/Images/BC_Wheels.jpg

“As he hurtled toward his adventure’s very bad conclusion…” Is this a rare misspelling in Doonesbury? Should it be, “As he hurtled toward his adventure’s very bad concussion…”?

Each time I go out Bloomfield Road, I look around hoping I’ll see the guy on the unicycle with the Indian clubs again.

I especially want to see him in action. He was just carrying the clubs when I went by, and I couldn’t linger because I was on my way to a session.

Always stick with a hoverboard. And remember to charge it outside, away from all combustibles.

Is he one of Orwell’s rough men who guard us while we sleep?

Huh?

Shop owner: “I just sell the damn things. Don’t ask me how they work, and no, we don’t fix them!”

Inspired by Simon Cowell’s real life adventure

Just what we need, another goofy contraption to encounter as a pedestrian, or worse yet, someone who might try to meander into traffic on a motorized unicycle? Of course, in suburban KC, it isn’t as challenging as it tends to be in other cities… Good luck to all of you!

A little off the mark…should’ve been a Onewheel

I take this as a metaphor for the Miami condo collapse, and for every other obviously bad political decision this country has made in the last, say, five years.

If he’s looking for tyranny shouldn’t there be palm trees? There are palm trees in Florida, aren’t there?

Ha. I wonder who was there to hold his beer.

Downer strip. Was hoping for Trudeau’s weekly dose of political satire

That’s OK. We’ll be withdrawing completely before he hits the water.

No chase scene is ever complete without a fruit cart, amirite?

STAY AWAY FROM THE SEGWAY!

Odd how some people can find tyranny where they imagine it…

I hope he’s heading for Mar-A-Largo

Those things look like SOOOOOO much fun! Unfortunately, I’m way too old to learn to ride one. As, apparently, is Jeff!

With so much comic fodder coming from the Biden/Harris administration, Gary seems adrift like Ahab in a banal pursuit his Trumpian white wale, obsessing about the apocryphal Jimmy Crow and the 1/6 scuffle at the Capitol. How about something to the effect of Uncle Duke, your caricatured devil incarnate who ply’s his chaos to the highest bidder being the man behind the scenes who is actually running the country creating all our current calamity.As we inexorably swirl the bowl as a nation you could at least dole out the critique in an equal opportunity fashion.Lord knows there’s plenty to go around.As a long time fan of Doonesbury, will this be best described as Trudeau’s void period? C’mon, Gary, shake it up!

Darn Heat Cracks in the Sidewalk.

Not to worry, folks. The Rascal is headed towards water. They may temporarily go missing, but no hero – or villain – ever died after they fall into water.

Up until mention of the electric unicycle, I was thinking in terms of “The Greatest American Hero” learning how to fly the suit.

Please, Mr. President, send “The Red Rascal” back to Afghanistan, now!
