About this Collection

This 1980 collection from Holt, Rinehart and Winston gathers a selection of Garry Trudeau's Doonesbury strips, focusing on the comic's early years with its signature blend of political satire and character-driven humor. The volume captures the series' sharp commentary on 1970s American culture, featuring beloved characters like Mike Doonesbury and Zonker Harris in their formative adventures.

In this 1980 collection from G. B. Trudeau, the Doonesbury gang navigates a year of political theater and personal reinvention: Honey enrolls in a Foreign Policy class taught by the famously intense Prof. Henry Kissinger, Duke takes the stand before Congress to advocate for the NRA, Jimmy trades his guitar for textbooks, Duane embraces the zen of “Mellow-Speak” before heading west to help shape Jerry Brown’s presidential campaign, and Boopsie steps into the spotlight—literally—for a Playboy shoot. With sharp wit and signature satire, Trudeau captures a moment when youth, idealism, and absurdity collide, all drawn with precision by himself and inked by Don Carlton, whose touch brings the era’s energy to life. The cover, also by Trudeau and Carlton, perfectly encapsulates the blend of satire and sincerity that defines the collection.
