This isn't over yet. Zonker must get in! He's too important. The British as yet know nothing of surfing.

I have enjoyed the Doonesbury strips since they were first published. At the end of a full life, the strip is my first read in the morning, followed by the obituary column. In both situations, I feel that I am looking for old friends. They are never read in the reverse order -- I might see my name and miss the cartoon.

Please don't break Sam's heart -- I beg you!

When I was a child the Donald was drawn by an excellent cartoonist, had a funny tuft of hair and spoke like a quack. Some things never change.

Thanks for Sunday's strip highlighting how our government and media are giving the Bahraini government a pass on the horrific human rights abuses they are engaged in -- the worst we have seen so far, apart from Libya. I marvel at how you can do so much in such little space, while making us laugh. May your strip help educate the public and put increased pressure on our government and media to do right by these peaceful people demanding legitimate rights. Thanks!

You make life here a little brighter. Please take it as my utmost compliment that you, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Hillary and Obama keep me going over here.

This year's storylines have been brilliant. Thus it pains me to note a flaw in today's strip: President Obama is a Chicago White Sox fan, and no self-respecting White Sox fan is upset when the Cubs lose.

Garry, I love you. You consistently hit the nail on the head. I laugh out loud almost every day.

Been worried about Ray lately. He deployed and we all sort of forgot about him. I know we get busy and we say we will Skype but things happen, you know? We deployed together in '03 and '09. I hope he is alright, dude doesn't talk much.

I frequently recommend to friends that they read the strip. But, last Sunday I felt like Paul Revere. "The hair! The hair! Trudeau has nailed The Hair!" I even suggested they read online to get the first two throwaway panels. The Hair is your Starry Night.

OMG the lips. That hair. I spit out my oatmeal! Keep it coming. You are hands-down, the best cartoonist/caricaturist I have ever seen.

Since I have been told by a friend or two that Mr. Trudeau's affinity for soldiers is a Garry-Come-Lately thing (in spite of B.D. and Ray and Phred et al...) I have been awaiting the Lacey Davenport strip that appears in the 20-years-ago-today spot on Flashbacks. It's an all-time favorite. Pulitzer, Schmulitzer, where's the dang Nobel Committee when you need it? Good goin' man, and thanks.

Regarding Sarah Palin, that's huge reality star and half-term governor.

I have been reading Doonesbury for decades, literally. I find the strip to be on top of what's going on in our world at any given time, presented in an offbeat, amusing way. You have given me more laughs than my first husband, and I appreciate it and you more than I can say. Thank you for your wonderful work!

The question of whether anyone should take Donald Trump seriously was answered 35 years ago by Honey: "Even in Utopia, there's myopia." Also amnesia, evidently.

The birthers ought to take it a step further. Is there any real proof that Obama was ever born? I mean, he may have been delivered to Earth by galactic terrorists who see this presidency as the first step to subjugating the human race.

Was the Donald himself actually born? How do we know he isn't some other form of creature -- an alien, not just from another country, but from some place in space?

You nailed The Donald -- gotta love the hair! Thanks for helping us cope, with laughter, at the crazy world we are in these days.

Please, please, please don't let up on The Donald! More than ever, you are hilarious and dead-on at the same time.

I am now dreaming about that hair. Is it hair? Or is it a Cthulu-type monster, just waiting to grow and pounce on unsuspecting opponents?
