Find that cartoon

December 8, 2006 10:31 AM

Trying to track down a couple of Doonesbury cartoons.

I'm trying to track down a couple specific Doonesbury cartoons that I really liked.

One appeared some time in past several years in which Mike vents about Starbucks' particular and somewhat misleading drink sizing nomenclature (a small drink is classified as "tall", etc.).

The second is from late 2004 or early 2005 and has soldiers in Iraq discussing high ranking Bush administration members' sense of personal responsibility for Iraq. The punchline is something like "Bush doesn't think, he only believes things. It keeps him from being conflicted with reality".

Can anyone identify the specific publication dates of each or whether they appear in one of the periodic paperback collections, and which?

Am working on the first. :)

I think you'll have to sign up for My Comics Page to get it online, but if this blog page is to be believed, it's the strip from July 20, 2003. Clicking on the link in the blog takes you to a signup page for My Comics Page, which does appear to have a seven day free trial.

I think cerebus19 nailed it on the head... no electronic version without signing up though. :)

Anything older than a year now requires a membership to "My Comics Page".

I'm a a little late to the party, but if you still need it: the remaining one.
