Big larfs

I'm a longtime "Doonesbury" fanatic, and I've really enjoyed the ongoing series about the recent experiences of war-traumatized B.D., the helmeted soldier-patriot who ceased wearing a helmet at the same time that he lost a leg in Iraq. Yesterday's installment about him is a devastating and wickedly funny illustration of the fact that the strip remains superb, even amid the seemingly irreversible decline of daily newspaper comics.
