"What part of president-for-life do you not understand?" That phrase is remarkably similar to my Swiss Army knife of evasive answers: "I do not see how that is relevant to the present conversation." Keep it up, President Bmzklfrpz!

I am anxiously waiting to see the Red Rascal story continue. Surely something good -- and outrageous -- will come of this.

Your current Duke story line may be the best ever. I have been reading the strip since day one and I cannot remember another more compelling, funny and must-read than this one.

Hey Duke, didn't you know? You break it, you own it!

Duke has discovered karma.

Poor old Duke! Perhaps the Red Rascal will have to do another extraction.

I really appreciate the para-military, sorta-psycho (see "Sons of Guns") inter-generational mayhem. Thanks. The bitter-sweet soft-sided presentation makes it far more palatable than my personal intensity would allow. By the way, Duke deserves to bunk with one of his clients. What goes around, comes around...

I've been reading Doonesbury for a lot of years. These days, it's hard to find clever humor that deals in the hypocrisy and subsequent humor of US policy. My thanks to you for bringing smiles and laughter in a time of hate and sadness. Today's strip brought a belly laugh.

Oh how I love Alex and Toggle. Please can we have more of them? Sunday's strip was fantastic!

I hate cliffhangers. Didn't like them in "Batman," (yeah, the corny one) when I was a kid. Don't like them in comics now. I blame my inner child. I want more Rascal.

Even if unintentional, today's Flashback ski strip from 40 years ago is a nice homage to "Get Smart."

Today's strip about Bernie's aLIST idea reassures us that he has recovered from his moment of madness ten years ago -- seen today on the Flashbacks page -- when he said that he would only sell boring stuff that people really need.

Jeff is America, sort of, sometimes.

I see Jeff as the Generation Gap Redux. Now it's the damn kids with their Xboxes instead of the damn kids with their grass and communes. The Boomers' views of Gen-Y is just as jaundiced as the views about the Boomers 40 years ago.

The Red Rascal is the natural consequence of two generations of educating children in unearned self-esteem.

I just got the Charlie Sheen GPS. Every time I make a correct turn -- "Winning!"

Red Rascal's escapades make Ray Hightower's awful problems more poignant and real. I see Jeff as a 21st-century version of Voltaire's Candide -- triumphing despite his naivete, through a series of improbable adventures that echo current or recent historical events.

Comparing Jeff to Ray is like comparing Stephanie Meyer to Shakespeare (no offense to Twilight fans). We all care about Ray, and know that he's doing the hard stuff, and I don't know about you, but I genuinely worry if he'll be alright. Jeff I don't worry about, because killing Jeff would be like killing Bambi. It just can't happen...

I think it's fascinating that so many of us want the Red Rascal to succeed despite his hopeless level of naivete and unfounded confidence. Maybe there's something in American culture that makes us want to believe that unprepared and undisciplined people can still be fabulously successful.

The Red Rascal's capture has got to be one of the best episodes of all your characters. We know he will escape but how? No don't tell me!...
