As the Kid Goes for Broke #[nn]

In this 1977 installment of *As the Kid Goes for Broke*, Garry Trudeau (as G. B. Trudeau) delivers a sharp, satirical snapshot of American political life, where Ginny’s congressional campaign gains momentum from a surprise hit song by Jimmy Thudpucker—only to face a formidable challenge from opponent Lacey Davenport. Meanwhile, Joanie takes a step forward in her relationship with Rick Redfern, Bernie embarks on a whimsical quest for the Loch Ness Monster, and Uncle Duke’s day takes a turn for the medical when he’s struck by appendicitis. The story unfolds with Trudeau’s signature blend of humor and social observation, all rendered in his distinctive, expressive art.
