What's Mallard raving about today?
Baby Boomers.
Ahhhh! Over there! It's a former Hippie! Ahhhh!
Honestly, this pathological obsession is unhealthy, not to mention that it ignores 40 years of intervening history.
As for bringing Garry Trudeau into this mess, if I were in Mallard's place, I don't think I'd invite the inevitable comparison in a panel in which I'd included the phrase "Incontinental Breakfast."

Garry Trudeau was the only boomer he could think of by name.
or he's a fucking idiot
Tomorrow on Doonesbury: "Isn't that Bruce Tinsley by the open bar?"
nw ho ho ho ho! 'twould serve the cad right.
But really:
1. The very oldest boomers, born when, 1946? Are 61 at the very oldest. I.E. not even retired yet, let alone into Depends.
2. Tinsley was born in the '50s. A Boomer by almost any reckoning, himself.
3. Dennis Hopper, somehow his paradigm Boomer, was born 10 years before the very oldest Boomer. Around the same time as my parents and I was born in the 60s when they were thirtysomethings. So not a Boomer.
4. The stupid #@$#@$# should crack a book sometime, if the papers, magazines, Internets and Teevee aren't doing the trick.
