That strip got passed around like a two bit whore on Twitter when it was first published, then a bunch of Web comic artists fixed it by filling in the middle panel for him.
I'm surprised I hadn't heard of this sooner; you'd have thought one of the plethora of cartoonists I read would have mentioned it... But I just saw that image last weekend. I'll have to search for the snark.
I dunno. Doonesbury used to be one of my favorite comics (starting way back when I could only read them in print), but I eventually dropped it from my daily reading list because I’d eventually come to the conclusion that he wasn’t as insightful, relevant, or entertaining as he used to be; and I got tired of him telling me to get off his lawn. He’s another one that went on a long hiatus and never quite reached his earlier highs when he returned, like Berkeley Breathed; which is why, as much as I miss Calvin & Hobbes and The Far Side, and own the collections, I have no interest in seeing either Watterson or Larson pick up the pen again either. (All IMO, obviously.)
