As the Kid Goes for Broke (A Doonesbury Book) #[nn]
In this 1977 collection from G. B. Trudeau, the political and personal lives of the Doonesbury gang collide in a year of high stakes and unexpected turns—Ginny’s congressional campaign gains momentum from a surprise hit song by Jimmy Thudpucker, only to face a formidable opponent in Lacey Davenport, while Joanie takes a step forward with Rick Redfern, Bernie embarks on a quest for the Loch Ness Monster, and Uncle Duke finds himself sidelined by a sudden case of appendicitis. Drawn and inked by G. B. Trudeau with assistance from Don Carlton, and featuring a cover by Trudeau and Garry Trudeau, this volume captures the comic’s sharp wit and cultural pulse with its signature blend of satire and heart.
