Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for March 28, 2009
Transcript:
Kim: Email from Alex... Mike: What's up? Kim: She's gong to spend spring break with your mom in D.C. so she can visit some new boyfriend... Mike: Hmm...wonder if that might be somebody she met during the campaign. Kim: Or a vet with TBI living in a Virginia trailer park. Mike: Right. Can you imagine?
I see no contradiction (yet). No reason that the widow Doonesbury can’t be on a road trip with her biker boyfriend. Probably just helping Alex find some crash space with the gang. Alex could well follow in JJ’s footsteps here – hooking up with a decent guy her first time around. Then later on dumping him to party with a loser. It would be sad, but typical of the daughter growing up to be the mother.
