"Garry Trudeau is the premier American social and political satirist of his time." -Newsweek Doonesbury has managed to be articulate, abrasive, political, compassionate, misunderstood, misprinted, and outrageous - but one thing it's never been is complacent. Garry Trudeau's creation has chronicled American history and culture in a parallel universe. And through it all, Doonesbury has always been honest, entertaining, and thought-provoking.

Following are character tags added to Doonesbury strips from the beginning to
1 / 22 / 72
and 7 / 1 / 07 - 8 / 3 / 08
and 9 / 21 / 08
and 9 / 28 / 08
and 11 / 16 / 08
and 11 / 24 / 08 - 11 / 30 /08
and 1 / 19 / 09 – 1 / 24 / 09
and 9 / 28 / 09 - 4 / 1 / 11
excluding unposted / nonexistent Sunday strips ( Sundays before 3/21/71 and 4/18-6/6/71). I usually put character and other tags with the subject’s first appearance in a story or “theme week” ; for other related strips check the strips preceding and following the tagged ones.
