About Doonesbury
"Welcome to 'Classic Doonesbury.' In selecting the strips for this retrospective journey, we're going deep, literally back to Day One. Revisiting four weeks of strips from every year of syndication, I hope to hit many 'Doonesbury' high points, focusing on how the characters (over 75 of them) got involved with one another. Since their lives have always been bound up in the events of the day, it should be a kind of déjà vu for my peers, and maybe a 'What were you people thinking?' for newer readers. I hope all of you will enjoy the trip." - Garry Trudeau "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.

Picking up on the “snotty teenager” comment from yesterday, if the BBC Harry Enfield sketch of Kevin turning thirteen didn’t make it to that side of the pond, watch it here:

It’s nearly 25 years old now, so the clothes and the references are all well out of date, but the basic message is still as valid as ever…

Why would you read crap?

@Astolat
Yep, yep. Seems about right. Only, my teenage (or near-teenage) grandkids have all withdrawn into their chaos-caves, where they indulge in their hand-held-device habits and emerge only when goaded by nature’s call or starvation.

Nice to read things from the past. It can help if one has some familiarity with it.

Plopise has a whole day to think up his next dig at this strip. We’re all waiting for his witty put down!

Look too obvious and folks will assume it can’t be you due to the fact the obvious culprit on TV is never the real one.

Stunning (and very telling) that Trudeau is ignoring the collapse of Obamma’s administration. So much he is missing out on. Holder, Lerner, hashtag pr. etc. Scandles everywhere!!!

@wadiglow
The only “collapse” is occurring in the minds of deluded baggers like yourself.

Who is Obamma? And what are Scandles? Are they like Skittles?

@wadiglow
Collapse? When and where do you see that? I know Obama’s rating is down again. But then he talks a good game, but he is with the elites and Plutocrats and comes down to furthering his and their interests over us.
