Help!

[lollardfish]

There's a Doonesbury comic from years ago (15 or more) where the history teacher loses it and starts to shout patent nonsense, "Black is white" is the one I remember, but could also be up is down, day is night, whatever. And the students diligently take notes, "Gee, I didn't know half of this stuff!"

I need a copy of it, pronto. Help!

Edit: Got it, thanks!

The one we had stuck to the door of the postgraduate study room was the one that depicted academic hiring as a mob of desperate and jobless PhDs howling at a university gate 'We'll work for food!'

On finding a quality (and legal) copy

[(Anonymous)]

I'm looking for exactly this strip today. Thank you for the help in identifying it.

Maybe ten years ago I bought another wonderful Doonesbury strip, also featuring this professor and concerning stenographer pupils -- the "civil disobedience" and "don't be afraid" one some may remember. It is marked 1-19 and must have been between 1985 and 1989.

Anyway, I went through doonesbury.com and it was easy. A bit expensive but a good quality color print. Someone even called me to apologize the original wasn't up to specs and did I want it anyway (it looks great).

Today, it's not easy. It appears that mycomicspage.com has exclusive control and requires membership even to search their archives. It's about $18 but I find the idea of paying for something I don't want just to get in the store offensive. If anyone knows a way around, please let me know, and if I find it I'll post same. I'll probably call them, I'm so annoyed.
