About this Collection

This collection gathers early Doonesbury strips from 1978-1979, following the misadventures of Mike Doonesbury, Zonker Harris, and the rest of the Walden Commune crew as they navigate post-college life, with storylines including Zonker's attempt to become a professional football player and the gang's various schemes to make ends meet. The volume captures Garry Trudeau's sharp social commentary and character-driven humor during a transitional period for the strip's cast.

In As the Kid Goes for Broke, G. B. Trudeau delivers a sharp, character-driven slice of late-70s American life, where Ginny’s congressional campaign takes an unexpected turn thanks to a song by Jimmy Thudpucker, while her opponent Lacey Davenport proves a formidable foe. Meanwhile, Joanie starts a new relationship with Rick Redfern, Bernie embarks on a whimsical quest for the Loch Ness Monster, and Uncle Duke’s medical woes add a touch of absurdity to the mix—all drawn with Trudeau’s signature wit and rendered in collaboration with Don Carlton on inks and lettering.
