Re Trump's "a lot of people can't handle it" remark on war: I only did one tour of Viet Nam and I still have occasional flashbacks. PTSD is real, and there is no way our military personnel now doing five or six tours in Afghanistan stand a chance of coming back without some emotional/psychological baggage. Sorry Donald, strength has nothing to do with it.

Garry, thank you for so many years of laughs and insights. I just finished reading through the whole damn pile (not for the first time) -- from the Yale cartoons to The Weed Whisperer -- and it is a brilliant history our society and politics. Your work will not be matched, and when future generations want to understand how things really happened and were perceived -- they should look to Doonesbury. Thanks again. 

I have at times been irritated by the strip, but I have always loved it. Thank you.

Bless you for your exposure of Trump's total lack of qualifications, his rudeness, lies, etc. I am really worried about this election and how many people support him.

What a perfect video selection for day-one-post-debate. If you can't get behind Stars and Stripes Forever I don't know what you can support. Pre-coffee, it got me up to feed the cats and do what has to be done. Many thanks!

I love today's "Song of the Day" --  Earth, Wind & Fire! Maurice White will be missed. I also love your website and cartoons!

Hey, look! Zonker's first appearance was 45 years ago today! Far out, indeed...

Today's strip is a perfect comment on class division. A sailor is as high as Alice can stretch. A taxi dancer is as low as bossman Phil Slackmeyer can bend. Dickens would love this one.

Boopsie's review of history lends considerable verisimilitude to the dubious and barren idea of past lives and it’s “channeling” variant (with apologies to Shirley McClain). GBT offers a clever nod to Boospie’s backstory. She must be very well-read, indeed, to incorporate such a rich historical tapestry into her imaginative “past."

What do we have to lose? As noted in Sunday's comic strip -- everything, with Trump flying the plane.

I loved today's cartoon about the airplane passengers listening to some very odd comments from "the Captain." Not using Trump's name added to the cleverness, and referencing Mike Pence at the end was awesome. God help us if Trump wins! Garry, your body of work has always been great, but this will be one of my all time favorites. Press on!

Re today's strip: Oooooh, Garry. Going right for the jugular. Attaboy!

I read your comics every Sunday, and they are usually very entertaining. But regardless of who you like or dislike in the election I think that the constant Trump comics are getting old. I like comics that have current events incorporated into them, but I feel that every week for months it has been the same thing, and I would like to see some of your other great work come back.

When reality meets "reality." May the awakening be enough to stop the plane.

When I first read Boopsie's account of her past lives I was in my mid-twenties and remember being bored by the storyline and skimming it over. Reading it again now, three decades later, I am enjoying her description of a woman through Time as informative and hilarious -- which is why I return to Doonesbury daily. Thank you, et merci.

I was thinking about Sunday's strip and your choice to actually depict Donald Trump instead of using an icon, in the grand tradition of the point of light, the waffle, the bomb-with-a-lit-fuse, the feather, the Stetson, the Roman helmet, et al. Arnold Schwarzenegger (Herr Gröpenfuhrer) was portrayed as a giant hand. Donald Trump could be portrayed as a tiny one!

If Trump wants classified info sent to Putin why doesn't he just have it forwarded to Hillary's e-mail account?

I guess I don't study the panel art like some people do. I look at the picture enough to recognize the person and the situation, and I read the text. I often chuckle. Sometimes, a day or so later, a more observant person points out something or other in the image. I go back and take another look. I enjoy that.

I love that the photos on Donald Trump's desk in the September 11th Sunday strip are not of his family, but of himself. I also love that you've ramped up the realism, including lots of icky details like the white around the eyes where the spray tan stops. Sadly, I think the thought bubbles are probably a really accurate reflection of his response to any in-depth topic.

Many readers have noted the change to the eyes that occurs when Doonesbury characters mature. And now we see a similar change in Trump's hands. As his ego has grown more pronounced (if that's possible), his hands have become less so. Small and floppy. Make of it what you will.
