About this Collection

This 1978 collection brings together a selection of Garry Trudeau's Doonesbury strips, featuring the iconic cast of characters navigating the social and political landscape of the late 1970s. The title humorously references a recurring character, Rollie, and the book captures Trudeau's sharp wit and satirical commentary on contemporary life. It's a snapshot of the strip's classic era, compiled by Holt, Rinehart and Winston.

In this sharp, timely 1978 collection from G. B. Trudeau, Joanie tackles the Ethics Committee with a mix of idealism and wit, while Uncle Duke dives into the Laetrile craze and schools young Republicans on alternative medicine. Roland Burton Hedley, Jr., now at ABC, captures the pulse of 1977’s campus culture, and Joanie squares off against Phyllis Schlafly on the Equal Rights Amendment—just as Zonker tries to explain the Panama Canal Treaty to a baffled football team and Jimmy Thudpucker brings disco to “The Midnight Special.” With incisive humor and a keen eye on the era’s politics, the story unfolds in the signature style of G. B. Trudeau, whose writing and art bring the moment to life—cover by Garry Trudeau and Don Carlton.
