Summary: Wonderful work
Review: Doonesbury is still the best comic strip out there. The only serious competition it had was Peanuts and Calvin & Hobbes, and they are gone. Doonesbury has warmth, humor, relevance, and sting. Get it.

Summary: trudeau says whta on his mind
Review: I love the honesty of this collection. Trudeau says what he wants without caring if someone says he should go back to canada (even though Trudeau is a new york state native). Trudea takes it all in stride and comes up with some great polictical and social satire.

Summary: Buck on Trudeau
Review: I no longer read Doonesbury either in books or in the paper. Trudeau has become cynical and vicious. His wit has descended to mean spitefulness and I for one am not surprised. When he took a "sabatical" or whatever label you want to call it I suspected something was up. Better for him to call it a day. For what it's worth I REALLY miss "Bloom County" by Berke Breathed.

Summary: A Dog-Tired Strip
Review: Just recently I re-read the Doonesbury 25th anniversary collection. What a cartoon this has been: Vietnam, Watergate, Iran ... it was all there and the strip's heroes gave us their sometimes ridiculous, sometimes angry, but always intelligent opinion. But the strip and its heroes have aged and the reaction to 9-11 is one of speechlessness. You can almost feel that there is a want to attack the administration, but the will is gone. Seen it all before, done it all before. It is no coincidence that Jonnie was talking about retirement ... Maybe that would be a solution for the strip's drift: take another sabbatical and re-invent the strip again. From students to professional people and now to AARPs.
