Hooray! This marks the end of the Alzheimer’s / dementia series and tomorrow’s strip returns to Mike and Kim. For that, go to https://www.gocomics.com/doonesbury/1997/06/22
Repeating my comment from yesterday: Five (now four) more days of these depressing Alzheimer’s jokes, then on Sunday, June 5th, we should return to Mike and Kim. But since Sundays are replaced with original contemporary work you’ll have to go to https://www.gocomics.com/doonesbury/1997/06/22 for that.

It seems to me that this gag hasn’t aged well. It may have gotten laughs in the past but now it seems rather cruel to joke about people losing mental acuity as they age.
Strom Thurmond was born December 5, 1902 and was 94-1/2 years old when this strip first ran on June 10, 1997. He continued to serve until he left office in January of 2003 at an age of over 100 years, and died shortly afterward.
