40: A Doonesbury Retrospective #[nn]

Four decades of sharp wit and cultural commentary come together in this handsome retrospective volume from Andrews McMeel. The cover presents two strip frames styled like photo-booth snapshots — rendered in warm sepia tones — showing a bespectacled young man and a woman with oversized sunglasses mugging cheerfully together in slightly different poses, a quietly affectionate nod to the strip's long history of friendship and fun. Cover art by G. B. Trudeau, Don Carlton, and George Corsillo makes this 2010 collection feel like both a celebration and a genuine keepsake for anyone who has followed Doonesbury across its remarkable run.
