Zonker: @zonker how do I know this isn't a rerun? Mike: Easy-- you check for topical references! For instance, if this were a rerun, how would I know about Manti Te'o's girlfriend? Zonker: His girlfriend? Mike: Yeah, the one who died of leukemia before the Michican game. Zonker: She was a fake! This is a rerun! Busted! Mike: Wait... she's not dead?

Just plain old funny.

I don’t get it? Is Manti a Republican so we should laugh at him?

I hear that there’s a prize offered to hack the Chrome O/S, of $ 3,141,592.65 and I think of Dylan Thomas. I think I need to un-bookmark this page.

Manti’s personal life should not matter so much as long as he can play. At least he isn’t involved in gun violence. Too bad he got caught up in a fake story with fake girlfriend but I can’t get that worked up about it.

No grey hair on Zonker and Mike has less than BD? Are they coloring their hair?!

This is almost as boring as Dave Barry’s old bit about Ask Mr. Language Person. YAWN!

There are worse things that having an imaginary girlfriend. Stealing a lame joke from the late, not so great Jerry Falwell is just sad. Hang down your head and cry, Tom Taco.

Te’o is a Samoan Morman at a Catholic school. Are we sure HE’s real?

Manti T’eo’s so schizo, even he doesn’t think he’s real.

Still never figured out how one could be in love with someone for three years and not say, “Why don’t we meet on - Break?”

Too bad Manti got caught in a deception in terms of fake GF, but we all lived through it…

calimaghazi – boring.

Actually, remember 9/11 and remember Iraq. No one says that Benghazi was not a tragedy. However, both 9/11 and Iraq dwarf Benghazi in terms of proportion. Also, it is not as if anyone in the Obama administration has forgotten any of those events.

Remember 9/11 – “Bush kept us safe!”
DylanThomas3.14159 over 11 years ago
Hello, SkepticCal, faithful servant of ignorance, clueless about Hillary, Kerry, Barack, and especially Benghazi.
montessoriteacher over 11 years ago
Sounds like someone needs to heed his own warning about fake friends on the thread here. For your your own good, of course.

There is a problem with sexual assault on most college campuses. I wouldn’t be surprised if Notre Dame also has this problem.

It wasn’t just in the news, it was in other editorial cartoons a couple of weeks ago. Oddly enough it was one the LEAST contensious comment sections (with more the 10 comments) I’ve ever seen on gocomics, much less a poltical one!

Very clever indeed.

notre dame is an overrated school and team. when espn was complaining that niu is going to the bcs, and praising notre dame, but doesn’t understand on why the irish lost to bama in the bcs.

I enjoyed today’s strip. If someone thinks that GT is picking on Manti unduly, you must think that lots of other folks in our culture are picking on him— Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Jay Leno, David Letterman, and many others have all had a field day with Manti’s story…
