The first time in 34 years we see B.D. without a helmet, and then we see he is without a leg as well. A strip we cannot forget...

To see B.D. on the cover of Rolling Stone (the December 5, 2004 issue) click here.

Today's Classic 2004 strip -- of B.D. and Ray, where B.D.'s helmet is taken off -- is one of your most powerful strips ever.

Garry Trudeau is part of the resistance and has been throughout his career. Help us Obi-Wan Kenobi, you’re our only hope.

Thank you for the Doonesbury comic strip. It is affirming to see truth and relevance in these dark times. Please keep drawing and shouting out into the void. We see and hear you.

Today’s (Sunday) strip does a masterful job of tying in lots of threads to today’s real dystopia. Mr. Trudeau is brilliant. I hope he is doing okay. (But then -- are any of us doing okay?)

Re today's strip: I see a podcast in Mark's future...

If they hand out Pulitzers for comics, today's (Sunday) strip certainly deserves one. All the darkness of Administration 47 compressed into eight panels. Tragic, but genius. And GBT saved the worst (best?) for the end. Dammit, Mark, I hope this ain't the last we see of you!

Gosh, I had forgotten this COVID-19 strip until I saw it today in the 5-years-ago slot on the FLASHBACKS page.  It is brilliant -- still has such impact. It brought back to mind those dreadful images of there being too many bodies to bury in New York, especially people who did not have anyone to bury them. Half a decade ago -- seems both more recent and longer ago, simultaneously....

How cool to see Juliet Schor referenced in today's strip: "See, Schor argued that even a Medieval serf worked far less than a modern American," Bernie tells Mike. He's referring to my real, live, brilliant Wesleyan classmate -- writer/economist Julie Schor. You go, girl!

So, here's "what's going on" in today's strip: Panel 3: Cuts to Medicare/Medicaid, especially to funding for in-home support services for disabled elders. (Plus, no caregivers coming in to work, due to fear for their own families because of the ICE raids.) Panel 4: Cuts to EBT-SNAP and USDA public-nutrition supports for farmers and farmers' markets. (Plus, no farm produce because no laborers coming in to work, due to fear for their own families because of the ICE raids.) Panel 5: Recession, rising prices, layoffs, due to tariffs and to loss of funding coming in from university grants, welfare, public works, etc... (Plus, no cooks or dishwashers or bussers coming in to work, due to fear for their own families because of the ICE raids.) Panel 6: Cuts in funding for public-safety and public beautification projects, such as roadside and park maintenance. (Plus, no gardeners or landscapers coming in to work, due to fear for their own families because of the ICE raids.) ...Did I get it right?

Today's strip is yet again a 30-year-old Flashback (1995) that could have been written today. Goes to show Trudeau well understood the French critic, journalist and novelist Alphonse Karr's statement: "The more things change, the more they are the same."

With all of the cuts and repeals going on in the current GOP presidential administration, can we also expect that they will repeal the Law of Gravity?

Not so fast! Isn't the price of comics already down 400%? No, wait. That's eggs. But still. With a very stable, endearingly realistic genius in charge, and with tariffs working wonders, happy days are here again, right?

Loved today’s strip, as always, but wonder why the Susie character didn’t address that man (never use his name) as “Sire”?

Re: Banned Words. Your continued coverage of the words banned by the Trump government is a great public service to anyone trying to learn American English as a second language. Now they can see a much easier way to that knowledge. Fewer word to learn! And, for your continuing coverage of the changes in the language -- Bravo! Keep up great work.

Thank you for the long-standing and continuous Truth to Power. We need it more than ever! Never give up -- Never give in!

What a brave new take on Memorial Day: committing Trumped words to memory. (Sad.)

So grateful for today's strip on banned words. I like to tell my students that these words are in the titles of all 16 academic books, and both general audience books, that I have published. I am proud to be someone whose work is defined as per se dangerous by the orange one. Your work is vital; keep on making good trouble.

Oh no, all the banned words have gone missing from Zonker's QR code! Joke's on us. Quick, check this other source before they disappear again.
