A couple Doonesbury strips here from 1980 after Reagan won the election. One is a poke at the outgoing Carters the other a poke at Reagan's ''nap" habit.

It is good, funny satire, and Gary Trudeau doesn't hold back on satirizing Democrats as well.

I guess everyone has their own level of what's funny. For instance, my wife tried a couple of episodes of "Schitt's Creek", and finds no humor in it at all.

Conservative B.D. is invited to appear on a local PBS radio station to "gloat" about Reagan's inauguration the next day. His reaction is cool.

Yesterday's strip is hilarious as various characters try to navigate a Zoom meeting. And no political pokes in this one.

This is the first time personal computers were shown in the strip. The ever laughable-opportunist Duke powers up an Apple to keep track off billings for his "illegal" operations in Florida. From March of 1982

And a later one in April, when Walden College introduces students to "Intro to Computer Science"
