Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for April 17, 2022

СЛАВА УКРАЇНІ!

ВІЛЬНА УКРАЇНА!

Happy Easter

And they say print is dead! No, it’s just the people in print.

Well, you knew this was going to happen.

His new book is probably the Rascal fighting the Russians in Ukraine.

That would be a logical assumption.

At that rate, half the Russian Army will have been wiped out by the end of the book.

Lumberjack Special? Did we wander into a Cracker Barrel by mistake?

The publisher doesn’t seem to take Jeff’s oeuvre very seriously.

I wonder how much he has to pay her to print it.

Oh, go for the Lumberjack Special, Rick!!

You only live once!!

Happy Easter.

Moral clarity. Something that is lacking in many places.

I see he has dropped the ‘Red’ part of his name. Probably wise…..

The publishers seem to like it.

And how long before the first movie about the Ukraine invasion? Its sad that Bruce Willis won’t be able to play the lead. But have a Happy Easter anyway – He is Risen!

There are actually plenty of MAGoos who are siding with America’s friend and ally Vlad Putin against the Nazis in Ukraine.

Ah, yes, moral clarity helps with the killing …

Poll Question: What big story would you have liked to see Trudeau cover in his strip but didn’t?

For one, Jeffrey Epstein would have been interesting

When you vote, remember this fact: Putin and Trump are buddies.

Kill the right 30 Russians, and the war would be over.

Surprisingly easy to do if you can get them all in a Train Station.

Not to go throwing realism into all this, but successful adventure novels generally start off with a lot of action. The plot comes later, but the first chapter starts with a bang — often a literal one.

Bond movies used to follow this rule, too. The first few minutes of the film had Bond quickly finishing another adventure in a big action sequence. Then he’d go visit headquarters and get his next mission.

What I’m saying here is that Jeff’s publisher isn’t criticizing him. Or she shouldn’t be. That’s a strong opening for his type of novel.

Damn straight. Slava Ukraini.

“You’ve misspelled ‘Javelin’ but that’s what I’m here for.”

It’s good he is self-supporting.

When people disparaged Joanie’s child rearing by saying that Jeff was a “loser” I remember pointing out he was surprisingly successful.

Stalone is 75, someone has to take over beating the Ruskies, Rambo could break a hip now days. (I’m a few months older than Sly, I oughta know.)

well, i wanted a slow start

Sorkh Razil’s job is 130,000x easier when there is a OBJECTIVE enemy!

Perfect time for Jeff to swoop in and save everyone in Ukraine and kill Russian bad guys. As if. I wish it was possible, but I seem to think Jeff might not be up to it.

Don’t we all?

Maybe this is an excellent time for all the North Americans with automatic weapons and ammunition to donate them to Ukraine for defensive use, instead of using them to kill locals.

Has Jeff ever been portrayed as seeming even a tiny bit like a real human being? Does he have an actual personality? He just always comes across to me as a total poser.
