A couple of things about today's strip... First, when my father retired and people asked him "What are you doing these days?" he always said, "I'm so busy, I don't know how I found time to work all those years!" Now that I'm retired, I understand what he meant, almost from Day One. Don't worry about Mike...he'll find plenty to do.

Second, I believe we will come to treasure this strip about Mike and his retirement. Once GBT's submission deadlines catch up with current events, "Doonesbury" will be nothing but Trump-Trump-Trump-Trump again. I don't believe we will see anything about any of GBT's other characters for the next four years.

Love the strip every day! Today, so genius! Thanks Mr Trudeau for validating the feeling that I am not going nuts; it is agent Orange and acolytes who have gone insane in their thirst for power!

I think it's a mistake not to continue to show Trump with blood on his hands. People are having amnesia about his performance during the only real emergency of his administration. And of course there are the inevitable comparisons of his 2024 campaign promises with Cambodia, Rwanda, the Gulag, and classic Nazi Germany. I don't think those damn spots can be washed clean.

I truly enjoyed today’s 25-years ago strip. It is good to be reminded that Trump has been a political punchline for a quarter century!

Alex pirated the content to make a CD? Maybe she should consider becoming an executive at an AI company!

Re today's strip: Charged I was by a herd of cattle, Master. Killed a water moccasin with a rock. Overcame acrophobia by climbing the gnarliest trees in the woods. Rode my bike far to the lake, rambled far alone in the hills. Scared by my own shadow as the moon rose behind me. Saw a UFO pass directly overhead. Fortunate our generation was, Master, fortunate with freedom, fortunate to survive our escapades. But much courage and resilience it gave us.

So funny you should mention Trump avoiding prosecution by having dementia. Remember Robert Hur's report?

Re today's strip: Actually, the gun that Trump claimed to know very well was the "MK-47" [sic], not the AK-47. Make of that what you will.

Wow! Today's strip explains a lot about the origins of today's "permanently embittered" conservatives.

Today's strip hit on a message I've been hoping to see for a long time: "Introducing Mr. Doughnald Troomp of the Republic Party, who identifies as Orange." Two can play these silly games! Thank you, GBT.

How nice to see Austin again! A little thinning up top, but still keeping in pretty good shape. It's easy to avoid the dad bod if you're not a dad. He's seen improvements in his career, and his 401k is doing well; conspiracies will never cease, and will always be in demand.

Reading today's "20 Years Ago" strip on FLASHBACKS I was struck by how rough Honey has had it this whole time. Maybe it's time for her to have a fulfilling relationship? With a feminist of any gender? Poor thing, carrying a torch for Duke (of all people) all these years.

In the September 8th Sunday strip, what does "Early Vance" mean? Thanks!

In today's strip Trump has an ear patch emblazoned with a big gold "T" -- subtle, but clearly a humorous dig at the assassination attempt. Mr. Trudeau is old enough to remember the Kennedy assassination, and the attempted assassinations of Gerald Ford and Ronald Reagan. Donald Trump is not wearing an ear patch anymore (that I have seen in the news), nor is he trying to garner sympathy with his near-death experience (again, that I have seen or heard in the news). Mr. Trudeau should know that there is nothing, nothing, funny about a presidential assassination, even if the assassin misses.

On today's FLASHBACKS page I notice that in the 25-years-ago strip the Vietnamese musician in panel four holds a four-stringed instrument with four huge tuning pegs and a round body, as in the The Grajabpi, used in Thai Classical Music. Great touch! The body is not elongated as in the four-stringed Vietnamese Dan Ty Ba.

WOW! We're seeing Jeff Redfern's eyes for the first time in -- what -- 25 years? Mind blown!

How did the Rascal get a sword into the courtroom?

If there's a Pulitzer for cartoons, your June 25th strip about Eileen Cannon belongs next to Thomas Nast's drawings of the Tweed Ring. You nailed her hide to the barn.

I'm about the same age as GBT, and so I got an intense jolt of warmth and pleasure at Sunday's "Everyone does." But in fairness I have to admit that they stood on Chuck Berry's shoulders, too.

I am desperately trying to locate a Doonesbury cartoon depicting Amy and Nate Harris lying in bed. Amy is fuming and Nate comments something to the effect of, "Geez, you make it sound like the ERA won't pass for another 200 years!" Can you pretty please direct me to it?
