Excerpt from "Trots & Bonnie Meet the General's Daughter" in Dopin' Dan #1, 1972(ish)? // I couldn't find a "decent" and "affordable" copy anywhere so I'm relying on this partial scan I pulled from an muddy source online. You'll just have to accept it as is, sorry!" //

Sorry you guys, I completely blanked on posting a strip today, I've been busy lately. It'll come tomorrow but to make it you, I'd like to share this (admittedly) very annoying novelty song by the guy who wrote "Spirit in the Sky", mentioned in Nov. 1972! youtu.be/vRFo72wuU6w?si=LznPqVGG6_2unXhZ

On a much lighter note, here is the second "Trots and Bonnie" strip published in National Lampoon's "Spring Cleaning", April 1978!

I was hunting for old copies of the Seattle Metropolitan (Seattle Met) when I stumbled upon these two illustrations SF did for a John Hopkins journal(?). If anyone has more info about these images, it'd be much appreciated - D.B.

I didn't plan for this replacement for May 1975 (there were no... you get the gist) but did you know there's an EP named after "Trots and Bonnie"? I didn't! I just finished the first track and I like it. robertlawson1.bandcamp.com/album/trots-... Give it a try and maybe buy the EP if you want!

National Lampoon's "Rainy Day Sunday Funbook", April 1975

National Lampoon's "Car Sickness", April 1975

A bit silly coming from me, I know, but should I read Roberta Gregory's Naughty Bits work? I liked her writing for Gay and Wimmen's Comix but I'm a bit hesitant to read "Bitchy Bitch" just from the small bits of childhood abuse and well, use of certain racial epithets I've been spoiled on.

National Lampoon's "Good-bye to All That", March 1975

I was beating myself up for not bidding on that eBay auction for that 1988 "Trots and Bonnie", but I just found one at a thrift store near me!!! Granted, it's a bit yellowish around the neck and generally structurally unsound but the designs are in amazing condition.

Anyone who believes that this hodgepodge, anti-constitutional agency can be meaningfully "reformed" without a total overhaul of current U.S. immigration law and prosecution of these brownshirts to the fullest extent of the law functionally support these pop-up American concentration camps.

Without further ado, here is... National Lampoon's "Love and Romance", February 1975

Long time no see, you guys. Things are a lot "quieter" here and while I don't feel entirely comfortable posting here as often, I think it's vitally important, now more than ever, to share what makes the world a better place for every single person.

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

Thing's are still a bit insane here but I found this fun tidbit too interesting to ignore. This strip scanned from the "Hands Off!" collection (exp. below). It's almost an exact beat-by-beat reprint of March '79 but interestingly, with a new signature and date. Ain't that, neat?

I can't put into words the feeling of watching our government, a hive of evil antisocial filth, the absolute worst humanity has to offer, colliding with the best. Ordinary people trying to help each other, risking everything to stand up for what's plainly, unambiguously fair and right. It's unreal

Before I go, I'd like to share a "Trots and Bonnie" strip REJECTED by the National Lampoon. According to Flenniken herself, the editors thought it wasn't particularly "funny" (let's be honest, it was entirely a sex thing).

Absolutely thrilled with the cover @univnebpress.bsky.social has designed for my book, The New Old Style: Anachronism in Contemporary Comics (coming August ‘26)! And special thanks to the wonderful and generous Cole Closser for allowing me to use their art.

To be upfront, I'd like to apologize for the lack of "Trots and Bonnie" posts lately. Believe it or not, I've been well... very troubled by the recent events in my state. If the sun ever shines bright again, I'd love to keep posting this oft-forgotten comix gem. Sic Semper Tyrannis -D.B.

Happy New Year to You All! I hope you guys missed me! let me just share some more misadventures from Bonnie and the Gang. National Lampoon's "No Issue", January 1975

National Lampoon's "The Joy of Sects", December 1974 Pretty fitting, ain't it? I'll most likely be occasionally posting strips 'til the end of December but until then, Happy Hanukkah and to all the other winter festivities -D.B.

Correction: Apparently the DVD-ROM scan of the 1974 issue (alongside many others) skipped a couple of pages, which I now know contains a bit of Trots and Bonnie. I've just ordered a copy that should arrive in a couple of weeks, so keep your eyes peeled!
