Garry Trudeau, Call Your Office
The Washington Free Beacon ^ | December 29, 2014 | Sonny Bunch

I realize that Doonesbury is nothing more than liberal pap designed to make Baby Boomers feel good about themselves—yes, yes, Garry Trudeau, Republicans are squares and warmongers, we get it, you’re from the 60s, get out, back to the 60s, there’s no place for you here in the future!—but even still, this weekend’s strip is pretty egregiously terrible. Check it out, it’ll only take you a couple of seconds to read.

If you don’t want to read it, allow me to describe it to you. One of the characters, a mom, is telling her daughter than she’s not allowed to go to UVA. This young girl is not allowed to go to UVA because, like many other olds, the mom just received, via snail mail I presume, the issue of Rolling Stone featuring Sabrina Rubin Erdely’s thoroughly discredited piece about a gang rape at the University of Virginia. And, like many other olds—like even Garry Trudeau, perhaps—this mom is so out of touch, so completely ignorant of the Internet, she has no idea that the piece fell apart within weeks of publication because it looks like the central anecdote, about a girl who claimed to have been gang raped by a pack of young men as a fraternity initiation, is in all probability a pack of lies concocted by a (likely troubled) young woman who was trying to win the attention of a boy she liked.

On the other hand, he has provided a good term: I like to describe knee-jerk liberal sarcastic baby-boomers as “Doonesbury Democrats”. People ruining the country now.

Doonesbury cured me of reading the comics years ago.

Thanks, Trudeau, you lying Lefty putz. :)

Hey Trudeau, take another bong hit and retire already.

Has he done a strip yet about, “Hands up, Don’t shoot”?...

Har, good stuff!

Don't know where Trudeau was going with the second comedy club strip, though, it was just more preaching to his choir.

I've noticed attempts at humor by liberals inevitably is nothing but mean, nasty commentary about the hated subject at hand.

No matter how the left tries to turn a phrase, nearly every attempt the leftists make at humor ends up sounding exactly like Soviet propaganda--and that's all it really is.

As I like to point out, the only difference between the Soviet’s citizens and quite a number of so called Americans is that the Soviets KNEW they were being lied to.

I used to read this strip (had a long bus ride to work). In 1991 he ran a few panels that featured a Black Soldier celebrating a minor injury, as justification to ship out of the war zone. I sent a good old fashioned “letter to the editor” in protest, and haven’t read Doonesbury, since. Thank you.
