Doonesbury - Who Attends The Funeral Of An Insurrectionst?

[JHB]

[PatSeg]

1. Wow, a glimpse into the future

Probably close to reality.

[EYESORE 9001]

3. Professional mourning has been around awhile

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_mourning

A long while.

[PatSeg]

5. It would be SO Trump

as he was known to pay people to attend his events. It makes sense that he would preemptively pay for mourners. His extreme vanity will live beyond his death.

[JHB]

14. It'd be EVEN MORE Trump to stiff them.

[PatSeg]

18. "The check's in the mail!"

[FailureToCommunicate]

22. "You just have to pry it out of my cold, dead fingers."

[colorado_ufo]

30. Stiffed by the stiff.

[CaptainTruth]

34. You beat me to it!!!

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

49. same here!

[rickford66]

28. One on my Great Aunts was a paid mourner in Italy before coming to the USA.

She put on a great performance at the grave side of one of my uncles.

[FoxNewsSucks]

26. I hope it's the very NEAR future.

[PatSeg]

29. I'd like to see him face justice first though

Now I really understand the old cliché, "Death is too good for him".

[FoxNewsSucks]

31. I've been hoping justice would have been swift and humiliating,

then after just enough time for that reality to sink in, a nice painful exit from the world. But that seems unlikely, so I'm now ok with skipping directly to step two.

You're right though, death is too good for him and his corrupt hangers-on.

[PatSeg]

47. Yes, I won't complain

if we have to settle for "step two", but the world deserves to see him held accountable. He has hurt so many people.

[homegirl]

37. If given

the opportunity I would attend to verify that the lowest person to ever hold the office of POTUS was really dead!

[PatSeg]

48. Good point

And should be open-casket, so there are no unpleasant surprises down the road like sightings in Moscow. That said, just imagine the wing-nut conspiracy theories that will abound for years to come!

[Meowmee]

59. Lol

[EYESORE 9001]

2. Cheerful subject today

It’ll bring a smile every time I think about it.
😁

[Emile]

4. I'm surprised he didn't have a tee shirt on saying blacks for Trump!

[PatSeg]

6. And you just know

that ONE guy we see behind Trump at every rally will be there!

[Emile]

7. LOL +1

[XacerbatedDem]

55. Until he gets that letter saying his check was lost in the mail.

[PatSeg]

56. Yeah, left with nothing

but all those stupid t-shirts!

[electric_blue68]

60. Omg! Baaaahahahaaaaa. 😂 👏

[electric_blue68]

58. Hmm. Maybe Gary T missed his second cup of coffee!

[Kid Berwyn]

8. Like on the first day of his pee-residental campaign...

Donald Trump Campaign Offered Actors $50 to Cheer for Him at Presidential Announcement

[Paladin]

9. Part of a growing exhibit of trump's downward spiral.

Today's "Doonesbury" has the distinct and welcome aura of an historical document. Besides being funny as hell.

[dalton99a]

10. The obit will be beautiful

[70sEraVet]

21. That caricature of Kellyanne is bone-chilling!

And dead on.

[Paladin]

23. +1. (nt)

[eppur_se_muova]

38. Shouldn't that caption be "ea capto vuluae" ?

(I'm no Latin expert -- I'm just guessing at the intended meaning.)

[jmowreader]

44. Unfortunately, the only man who could do it is no longer with us

If you thought Hunter S. Thompson’s Nixon obituary was scathing, his obituary of Trump would kill you.

[electric_blue68]

57. The Twitter birds! 😂

[dchill]

11. Unfortunately, this, currently, is just speculative fiction.

[calimary]

13. Unfortunately.

[KS Toronado]

12. Wonder if he could have stayed home & still got paid?

Thanks JHB

[JHB]

16. I wonder if he'll get paid after showing up

This is Trump we're talking about.

[KS Toronado]

20. I stand corrected!

[bucolic_frolic]

15. Bought and paid for in some way. Empty promises same as cash to these people.

Real stupidity must be understood to be appreciated.

[2naSalit]

17. Perfect!

[sop]

19. TFG's funeral will be the single most awkward event ever covered by corporate media.

Except for FOX News, of course; they'll be playing funeral dirges for days, and agitating for a federal holiday to commemorate his passing.

[leftyladyfrommo]

25. A huge crowd may show up just to poke a pin in him

to be sure he's dead.

[gristy]

27. They'll spend 1/2 their reporting on how democrats are celebrating

and how awful that is. They will seek out and report on the most egregious and tasteless celebrations. The party of death and revenge, they will say.

[hay rick]

35. About the very long, mostly male, lines leading to the gravesite after the funeral...

for a golden shower. Think of it as both fitting tribute and posthumous opportunity to brag about crowd size.

[electric_blue68]

61. TFG deserves nothing but tasteless celebrations

[Mr. Ected]

24. Dr. Ronny Jackson delivers his eulogy:

"President Trump is in very, very good health. I have absolutely no concerns about his cognitive ability. He has incredibly good genes and it's just the way God made him. He is absolutely fit for duty".

[Fritz Walter]

32. I'm looking ahead: to the post-burial stage!

I plan to buy a food truck and stock it with asparagus, iced tea, coffee, beer and soft drinks. Maybe even fresh watermelon.
Then, I'll park it next to the entrance to the cemetery, and offer these treats to the non-mourner visitors. Let them take their best shot at his grave.

[Josiesdad]

33. Following Trumpian examples of respect and entrepreneurship I suggest that his heirs have a...

Following Trumpian examples of respect and entrepreneurship I suggest that his heirs have a pay toilet installed in his crypt. They can actually charge a premium admission fee if they advertise that it drains into his coffin.

Someday, I would like to visit and pay my respects... as long as it costs less than 50¢.

[Bayard]

36. "I must be fed!"

[ificandream]

39. You have made my day. My week.

Reminds me of one of the early scenes in "All the President's Men" when Robert Redford is in the courtroom and he talks to a guy, an attorney I think, played by, I believe, Bryan Clark, sitting there who dodges his questions.

[Hekate]

42. Reminds me to watch that movie again

[ificandream]

43. As someone who worked at a daily newspaper, I absolutely love, love LOVE that movie.

I got into journalism in part because of Woodward and Bernstein. And what they did was a piece of history we will all be grateful for. (On that note, I think we'll say the same about journalists digging revelations about Trump, too. If not now, then in the future.)

[planetc]

40. Let Doonesbury be kicked. Repeatedly.

[Hekate]

41. Kicktoons for the inestimable Doonesbury. Rick Redfern's expression is priceless. nt

[malaise]

45. I hope someone sent this to the

Slobfather- brilliant

[COL Mustard]

46. When?

Any predictions? I need a day off without leave!

[11 Bravo]

50. Another example of why Trump hates and fears Trudeau.

Garry's got his number, and Lard Ass knows it.

[Marcuse]

51. I went to his funeral just to make sure he was dead.

[ThoughtCriminal]

52. Yeah, good luck hiring a "Sin Eater"

No takers for that one.

[Ford_Prefect]

53. Would that be Rubles, Dollars, or Yuan?

[Permanut]

54. Reminds me of the funeral scene in "Charade". nt
