I loved today's strip -- but you forgot about the further comment Obama made that night, one I think we will all live to regret: "Say what you will about Mr. Trump, he certainly would bring some change to the White House." Sigh...

It seems that Mark Slackmeyer has identified the exact historical moment when reality was changed by one Obama joke too many, moving the presidential spotlight onto Donald Trump, where it was captured and held, for no light can escape a centre of gravity as vast and dense as his ego.

Right on, Mark! It's Obama's fault that Republicans can't pass TrumpDon'tCare, or The 2017 Tax Cut Cut Cut Cut Bill, or bring back coal, or build the darn wall. It's his fault that the Mueller investigation and the Congressional investigations and the media investigations won't go away. It's his fault that the White Supremacists are outing themselves. And worst of all, it's Obama's fault that the Supreme Court is about to declare partisan gerrymandering unconstitutional, and there are Democratic challengers to tens of thousands of Republicans for the midterms, far more than in the Tea Party wave. Thanks, Obama!

So, within the strip's universe, even the cops can see, and touch, Mr. Butts? Seriously, I do not get how this stuff works...

Well, it looks like the 1989 strips were written by a stoner, but the Mudline is still excellent! Thanks.

Re today's video about the online harassment of women: Here's a simple test for all the brave, anonymous e-mailers as to whether your comment is appropriate or not. If your message was addressed to your mother, sister, wife, aunt, grandmother, would you still press the "send" button?

If Roland and the "live drug bust" was intended to be a parody of Geraldo Rivera, it was a good one: such a true picture.

Mama is right in a way -- it is those darn kids, raised on who knows what. Roboclad jump-out squads, somehow content to be a force that only needs to be pointed at a target, no need for cogitation. A prescient look at the late-teens 21st Century.

Speaking of resistance: Sunday's strip mentions the fake words "venti" and "grande." I just say "I'll have a large." It's my own small morning victory every time I order.

It's true, it's here. Have no fear. From the inner dialog, it's clear: Mike is secretly Underdog!

I've never forgotten B.D.'s line from the 45-years-ago-today strip: "He's a psychopathic jellyfish." Poor George McGovern.

When Roland tweets about the "dying comic," does he understand his own existence is threatened?

Roland finally locates his long-misplaced integrity! His days at Fox are numbered.

Re the 45-years-ago-today Flashback strip: Actually, very few Viet Cong knew the work of Carl Perkins.

I don't believe Roland would ever utter such doubts about the Supreme Leader's plans aloud. This has to be a Fake Comic.

I just read “A Fire Story” in the Daily Briefing. It hit me like a fist to the midsection and took me back to May 2016. That was when a wild fire, dubbed “the Beast” by fire fighters, swept out of the northern bush and reduced Fort McMurry to a smoking ruin. Canadians sat transfixed as residents told their stories of terror and reporters tried to make the scale of the inferno comprehensible to the rest of the country.

Once the flames had passed, one of the weirdest things was the capriciousness of the destruction. TV reports and aerial photos showed streets where all the homes were gone except one that appeared untouched, and small areas where no homes were destroyed, though those around them had been erased. Scientists assure us that blazes like that at Fort Mac (and now Santa Rosa) are part of the new normal in the age of climate change. It makes one wonder what it will take to shake us all out of our stupor and do something. My heart aches for those who have been devastated by this catastrophe.

Happy 47th Anniversary to Garry and all the gang at Doonesbury. Thank you for all the years of bad craziness!

Thank you for today's glorious hurdy-gurdy and theremin video. It made me ask myself who could be our Beowulf to take down this Grendel-in-Chief, but of course I know that it is up to all of us.

Can we please get a link to the original 1973 “Guilty, guilty, guilty!!" strip?
