☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection gathers a selection of Garry Trudeau's Doonesbury strips from the mid-1970s, focusing on the post-Watergate era as the characters navigate shifting political and social landscapes. The volume captures the series' trademark blend of satire and character-driven humor, with storylines involving Michael J. Doonesbury's career and personal life, as well as the antics of the broader cast. It's a representative snapshot of the strip's sharp commentary during a transitional period in American culture.
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.
