If Roz has almost eight years and she's a Specialist, she may find herself out on the street unless she makes SGT very soon. Even so, with the cutbacks looming, she and Mel may both be out!

I really appreciate your portrayal of the enduring friendship of Mel and Roz. May Mel's father come to fully appreciate it as well.

What a treat to see the strip featuring down home patriotic, straight up (especially Mel) complex-free American folks! The world can't get enough if them these days.

I hadn't actually thought about it until I saw today's strip, but it's been just over 20 years since I was discharged from the USAF for being bisexual. At the time, I sure didn't think I'd actually see the changes I've seen in a short two decades. This leaves me hopeful for yet more positive changes! Thank you for bringing these happy thoughts to my day.

Today's strip could be subtitled "Don't ask, tell!"

Since when does having long hair keep lesbians from hitting on a girl?! Maybe I just speak for myself, but we do love any kind of hair -- especially if there's a brain under it.

Welcome home, Melissa and Roz. A job well done.

Today's strip brings up a point that confuses me. Were Mel driving with a guy, would Dad worry if the guy hit on her? Why is being hit on by the same sex any more/less annoying or complimentary?

Good on ya, B.D.! And just in time for Memorial Day, too.

As a veteran, mercifully spared combat over my 20+ year Navy service, I truly appreciate your consistent support of all veterans and helping to keep the public aware of important issues that politicians would seem to rather let lie, undisturbed. Thank You!

Awesome Mastery of Art demonstration: The last frame of today's strip -- B.D.'s slump into lightbulb-changing attitude. The dramatic change from frame one to frame last was beyond it! Thanks for the creative inspiration, and thanks for all the years.

Glad to see you back with B.D. and the V.A. Center. Hope you stay with it a while. People need to be reminded. It’s not like WWII (when I was growing up), when everyone knew someone who was in it or had been in it, whether it was a father, brother, spouse, son, neighbor or other relative. Now we all say we support our troops, but what do we do to show we mean it?

Of course Mr. Romney's positions haven't evolved. Most of them have devolved. Keep up the good work, Mr. Trudeau.

Much as I've enjoyed the Mittbully strand, I have to remember that after college, in France, he was in a car accident that put him in a coma. That means brain damage, which may mean amnesia. He may be enduring the bully business only because he thinks admitting to amnesia would be even more damaging.

I was thinking of running for President so someone could tell me what I did in high school. I have vague memories of beer cans, Zig-Zags and Trojans. It is difficult to really put it all together. I am sure the press could sort it out for me.

Intended or not I love how the art direction of your fourth panel today takes the visual flow of the eye from the phrase "hate crimes" to the microphone cover labeled "Fox News." I would hate for anyone to think this is an intentional act of bullying on your part... On the other hand; good job!

Yawn. Oh my, the Romney bully thing is getting really old, Mr. Trudeau. Is that the best you can do?

If this incident didn't stay with Romney, it could mean that it wasn't cruel or demeaning enough to even be remembered. Or that he pulled so many "better pranks" that this one didn't rate saving. I, for one, did not forget the times I acted cruelly, and I was able to change because I remember and regret.

The point made by Mark, that most people remember their mistakes with shame and remorse, rings very true. I received apologies from childhood bullies at my high school reunion. That Romney can't remember is truly troubling.

Don't let Romney off the hook. Hearing of his "prank" reminded me of my friends' stories of harassment in high school -- being slammed into lockers, having their heads forced into the toilet bowl as the toilet was flushed, not to mention the verbal taunting. The guy on the receiving end certainly remembered it clearly. I already had made up my mind not to vote for Mitt (as if he could even be elected dogcatcher in Massachusetts, after the way he bad-mouthed the state on his way out of the Governor's office). Now I'm adamant. I can't vote for him for anything, ever.
