Your forms of Resistance are spot on, funny and effective. Thanks so much. From someone who has been reading your stories since, well. . . forever.

Today's strip, about memorizing words banned by MAGA, naturally brings to mind Ray Bradbury's 1953 novel Fahrenheit 451 written during the Second Red Scare, and inspired by Hitler having burned books in the street and Stalin "purging" writers and poets in a campaign of ideological repression. In Bradbury's novel, a disillusioned book burner joins a clandestine group of rebels; each has memorized a complete book to preserve it for a hoped-for more enlightened time.

It's always fun to see Kim's origin story pop up on the Flashbacks page. It took me far too long to make the connection between Mike's wife and the class act baby. :-)

Zipper’s observation that aliens prefer English-speaking places brings to mind the way miracles tend to manifest in Catholics. All the great levitators, for example—Teresa of Ávila, Joseph of Cupertino, Mariam Baouardy, Alphonsus Liguori, Maria de Agreda and many more—have been Catholics. It’s generous of the aliens and miracle workers to show us whose is the winning side!

Today's Sunday comic makes me wonder. Why would tourists want to visit a backward planet at the end edge of this galaxy? A planet where members of its supposedly higher life form are still fighting among themselves and in the process destroying their own habitat?

Thank you GBT, for your work and your comics. I have been a reader for over 40 years now -- and your commentary never fails to make my day.

Re today's Sunday strip: While weaving narrative and current events together (with a view to workers heedlessly chainsawed from the Forest Service, etc.), GBT brings food for thought. For instance, what about parents who have young kids who must live on their earnings (if any)? In a word, sad. (Not to mention, on the part of the sawers, heinous if not evil.)

In today's strip B.D. raises an interesting and important point, and if you find out the answer you should share it with Democratic Party strategists: Why the hell didn't B.D. vote for Harris? Trump's lack of respect for veterans and service members was well known before he started gutting their civil service.

Just a quick response to the April 3rd BLOWBACK post by Ina Woolman: And almost all Canadians still love America! We just cannot stand your government at the moment, but we know that this too shall pass. :-)

Thank you for warning us -- for so many years -- about "the man who would be king"… and is now claiming that authority. If only more people had paid attention!

Oh, and by the way:  I ❤️ Canada!

Here is a way overdue Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! It's incredible how Doonesbury has reassured me that sanity and laughter are alive and well in this world. You are such a beacon of hope, perseverance, and goodness. Forgive that I gush, but knowing that you're there when I open the weekend edition of the Northern Virginia Daily on Friday (they no longer print on Saturday and Sunday), is a very big deal! I'm inspired by your dedication to our veterans.

Good job on the Musk avatar! An X with shades! (Well I remember the Quayle feather, the Dubya Roman helmet, increasingly battered; the Clinton waffle, the Gingrich bomb.) And his Minions! Well, Musk is nothing if not despicable.

Thank you for your insightful communications via your comic strip over the years. Most recently, I enjoyed the Sunday, March 16th strip, which appeared in The Seattle Times. I think it would be great if thousands/millions of people posted the link below (from The Seattle Times) on X (formerly Twitter), and sent the link to the White House and all Federal Senators and Representatives.

About your Doonesbury strip of Sunday 3/9/25: Superb!! Once again, you have shown your excellence in delivering a timely, much needed comment in an entertaining, understated way. Clearly, you are the foremost political commenter in your field and maybe all other fields. I do have a favor to ask. Although I am almost 80, I did a pretty good job of choosing my parents, so please don't retire for another 10 years or so. Thanks SO MUCH for what you do.

Your comic strip lightens the very dire situation this country is in. It makes you laugh when you really want to cry. Keep writing / drawing the facts and the truth will bear itself.

Blimey, as we English say. A whole Sunday strip on our constructional change to the House of Lords. Accurate too. But how will it play in Peoria?

Yegad, what cads! In effect, yon leveling riffraff boot the ennobled Zonk across the pond, back to his own humble origins (viz. at Walden Pond/Puddle, come to think of it). Shame!

Re yesterday's Say What? Trump claim: "There's a light over the United States...There's a light all over the world." The light of a surveillance drone; the light of the blazing sun in a drought; the flare of a failed rocket or jetliner exploding over the land...

New meaning for Ray Davies' "celluloid heroes never really die" lyric, eh?

Oh gosh oh gosh oh gosh. I had completely forgotten about the "draining the swamp" five-years-ago-today Flashback strip! I wonder what the equivalent would say today?!
