I appreciate the humor in today's strip, but, as I understand the Constitution, it isn't actually Congress' job to "govern."

I wonder how long the congressional investigations will have to go on before we see Mark yelling, "Guilty! Guilty! Guilty!"

I have the feeling that once Zonker's weed plantation dreams are snuffed, he will have a new gig as nanny for twins.

I am a Gold Star mother who knows a four-year-old little girl and a not-yet-one-month-old baby boy bearing, in remembrance, my son's middle name. Your May 24th strip brought most knowing tears. Thank you!

Leo has rapidly become my favorite Doonesbury character. His steady love for Alex makes her so much more likeable. I look forward to seeing them both grow.

I love Toggle's response to an ever-panicking Alex. As a father of triplets, I have used the exact line about "going to a zone defense" when discussing our experiences with our sons when they were babies and then toddlers. They are now 16 (or a collective 48). I'm sure that I lost some brain cells from the sleep deprivation in the early years. I've been a fan of Doonesbury since high school in the early 80s and haven't missed a strip since.

What an awesome week in the Doonesbury family -- the reunion, a STEM PhD for Alex, and naming the boys; all perfectly timed. Thank you! Remembering those who served and made the ultimate sacrifice; and those who have yet to come home...

Most mornings you entertain me. Some mornings, like this one, you move me. Simply beautiful. Thank you!

Today's strip brought a tear to my eye. How do you argue with that?

No matter what your feelings are on war, never forget what it has cost us. Thanks for the jolt. Unfortunately to many Americans, Memorial Day is just the first day of summer, when the pools are open, when we get the grills fired up, and a day on which there are many sales.

Thank you for your powerful Memorial Day cartoon. I've thought about Joe, Steve, Kevin and Eric frequently since 1987, but hadn't shed tears in a long time.

"Not easy" is pure Leo. Perfect.

OMG!!! How can Alex say no to that? Tears did start flowing when I read this morning's strip.

"Two buds of mine..." You never know when the tears will flow, do you. Thanks.

Re: BLOWBACK LACK. Hire Alex! Hire Alex! Save her from DARPA, or worse!

For the past week we've been having trouble with our email, and I apologize to those who tried to write in but couldn't. Our tech folk are closing in on a fix, and once we're BLOWBACK-functional again, if there's something you still want to say about strips gone by, go ahead. I'll post-post until we catch up.

Congratulations to Alex on her Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. Also to Garry Trudeau for selecting an engineering degree for one of his characters.

What a pleasure to see Mike and B.D. together! An amazing enduring friendship despite such vast personal differences. B.D. the original BMOC, and Mike so in search of an identity -- any identity. As time passed and Mike became himself, B.D. served as his (and the rest of Walden's) unwitting set-up man. Wow, how time marches on, and how far we've all come. 

I wonder why Walden is even holding a reunion. Don't they all have the internet? I would think Facebook has made reunions redundant.

Thank you so much, Mr. Trudeau, for reminding me how old I am. Although, of course, you also remind me how experienced, wise, and therefore valuable we old flatulae are. And how absurd the whole process of getting here is. And, um, is it wrong for me to relate more to Zonker than to any of your other characters? After all these years, I'd have just plopped right down into Walden Puddle too.
