Doonesbury calls the election

One cartoonist is so sure Democrat Barack Obama will win next week's presidential election that he's already pre-drawn a victory strip for publication in next Wednesday's editions of subscribing newspapers.

John Robinson, editor of the News & Record, says the Doonesbury strip "is set in Iraq with his military characters sitting around a television as Obama is declared the next President of the United States."

The Boston Globe says editors are being offered a replacement comic strip if they "don't want to go out on that limb."

Too bad. His non-political cartoons from the 70s were actually pretty funny. I especially like Doonesbury's lab partner at college.

He’s been a member of the Looney Left for a long time. He got so preachy about politics that I stopped reading.

Lib-tard Trudeau is on script with this 'pre-ordained' crap, too.

It sure would be fun to rub their noses in it.

I agree. Either he or I changed, but he went on a sabbatical break for a year or two in the late 70s, and he's been crap ever since. I wasn't even all the political, its just that he lost his funny bone somewhere along the line...(and yet ... they still print his bland 'cartoons').

This is good. Let them keep claiming victory. It will serve to weaken turn-out for them.

Although I would expect most newspaper publishers to delay production of their Page One plates for November 5 until they know who win the election, many newspapers are going to have already printed the comic pages well before that. I suppose newspapers that put Doonesbury on the inside back cover of the front page section (which many do, as an “editorial”) might not have a problem, but those that put it with the comics might have to print it before the election results are known.

Did Mr. Trudeau really think things through?
