Re today's "Say What." I see a huge marketing opportunity for gear displaying the slogan "Every 30 Days." Party on, 'Boys.

SO many factual errors in today's strip. The Roswell aliens were greys, not greens, the flat earth has the North Pole in the centre, and the lizard people in the Deep State are responsible for suppressing the facts about alien visitations so only true Americans are able to spread the truthiness. Wake up sheeple!

Here's my take on the perplexing "Retirees" comic of last Sunday. My parents are Boomers in their 70s. Like the retirees in that strip, they enjoy academic research, community meetings, getting together with friends, and staying busy. But certain of their friends are gone. And with them, their great stories, the fun cocktails they knew how to mix, the wisdom of their career experiences, their wonderful community volunteerism...all that they gave and shared has gone. Because they have died. Because COVID-19, loneliness, accidents, and other causes have taken them away, one by one. As Johnny Cash sang so movingly as he and his beloved June neared the end of their road, "Everyone I know goes away in the end." The strip brought me to tears.

Re today's Say What? quote: I would love to hear her thoughts on Voter ID.

Another too-hard-to-make-up 'SAY WHAT?' this morning. ("Here we are. Didn't even look at my fake [vaccine] card lol...Let's just be clear. Asking to see your ID is against everything American." -- former radio host Kimberly Ray, posting from Bills-Dolphins game)  A quick search further and I find this breaking news story just nine minutes old. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Hey! I'm male, retired, and still very actively doing work-related stuff.

The Halloween strip was the most thought-provoking edition of Doonesbury...perhaps ever. I would hope there would be much discussion about its meaning. Are men disappearing, dying, irrelevant, or just becoming monosyllabic; especially compared to the dynamic lives and communities of women? 

Sunday's strip reminded me of the historical civic virtue of elders -- experienced, involved, steady with age, now done with commerce and child rearing -- stepping up to donate their now-freer time for the commonweal. Kudos to the women. 

Sunday's strip about the real lives of retired house husbands is lovely. Thank you.

Regarding last Sunday's strip, I haven't been this confused about the meaning or intent of a comic strip since Gary Larson's infamous Far Side "Cow Tools" panel 30 years ago. Can someone please help me understand? (BTW, I'm a Boomer retiree - may be that's the problem here?)

Today's strip on retirees terrified millions of Boomers. No wonder you ran it on Halloween.

Re: The Sunday 10/24/21 "Say What?": It is easier for an octopus-like creature to pass through a hypodermic needle than it is for an anti-vaxer to admit that she or he is wrong.

How fortunate we are, in the midst of these nightmare times, that you bring us these brand new Sunday comics every week! Thank you!!

Shouldn't some fellow patron bring Mister Covid a booster seat?

Wow, that Z&Z packs a wallop!

Re today's SayWhat?:

"They are trying to demasculate the young men in this country because they don't want people who are going to stand up. And so all you moms...if you are raising a young man, please raise them to be a monster."  -- Rep. Madison Cawthorn

Surely Cawthorn has it backwards. It's the real men who do stand up, and they stand up against the "monsters" of Cawthorn's imagining.

Of course there are still a few "buds" in the system.

What country is this? It's Texas, of course! Is it too late to undo admitting them to the Union?

Today's Sunday strip now has my vote for saddest Doonesbury ever. It's not the poignant, tear-jerking sadness of Andy's death, or the sweet sorrow of Dick Davenport's. It's not Alex's desperation when Kim leaves Mike early in their romance. It's just dry-eyed, sickening despair. What country is this?

Did Doonesbury just reveal the source of the "Q" in Q-Anon? In the 1996 Classic strip that ran on Saturday, Phred is wearing a hat featuring that infamous letter. Knowing that the "movement" stole so much from sci-fi shows and other pop-culture sources, this would not be surprising.
