#1 "I haven't read it since it stopped being funny"

My God! Doonesbury used to be funny? When was that? Musta been before my time (even though I am old enough to remember the original Jonny Quest).

#2 We've got a former national security advisor stuffing documents into his jockey shorts and Trudeau can't find anything funny to write about there.

#3 I really don't mind Trudeau making political comments in his strip. In fact I personally expcet it. As to whether Doonesbury is funny. I always thought the same question could be applied to "Faulty Towers" too. The strip I find of very questionable taste is Boondocks which has taken to vilifying Bill Cosby for have the balls to stand up to the likes of the NAACP and the Urban League

#4 I cut out a funny Doonesbury strip last year, and stuck it on the refrigerator, the one where an Iraqi scientist asks "Is it true that only 13% of American kids can find Iraq on a map?" and the reporter says "Yeah, but all 13% are Marines". I had to cut it out a save it for my daughter (the Marine) since it was the first one to be funny in decades...

#5 One more in the, "You mean when we insult them they can tell us to go away?" series.

Have you noticed lately how many of these airhead celebs seem surprised that we have the right to stop paying their frieght?
