On behalf of the entire American public, I would like to apologize to Garry Trudeau. We have failed in our quest to become the rich socialist mob
that he apparently so fervently believes we should be.
His disappointment is clear in every veiled innuendo, in every made-up (but believable!) character interaction, in each tongue-in-cheek barb that, if based in actual reality, would indeed be howlingly funny.
As Shelley Berman once remarked about Mort Sahl, “It disturbs me that we allow this foreigner to criticize us as he does.”
In the interest of politeness (and brevity), I won’t upload an itemized list of suggestions; but before spending so much time and effort making snide remarks about the way we run things in our country, perhaps Trudeau could find one or two issues about life in Canada that he could help resolve.
There are a number of other people in the world who could use this advice, as well.
