You have to read the rest of this week’s strips to get the joke, which you can do by flipping through the “previous strip” buttons.
I’ve always liked Doonesbury though I don’t read it as much as I used to.
For those of you that may be interested, all of Doonesbury’s strips are available on the website searchable by keyword and/or date. I randomly picked a date (August 5, 1974) and the strip had a character in a hospital bed talking about a nightmare he had where his stock portfolio was going down the tubes and the Dow was dropping - 800, 700, 600…
The numbers are a little off but it is still a timely strip.
