About this Collection

This collection brings together a selection of Garry Trudeau's Doonesbury strips from the late 1980s, focusing on the absurdities of the Reagan era, including political satire, social commentary, and the ongoing adventures of characters like Mike Doonesbury, Zonker Harris, and Duke. The volume captures the strip's sharp wit and evolving narrative style during a period of significant cultural and political change.

In this sharp, satirical 1987 collection from G. B. Trudeau, the Doonesbury gang navigates a year of political chaos and personal turmoil: Duke faces incarceration and a haunting reckoning, Clyde mounts a quixotic campaign against Lacey, and Dick’s final act is a perfect photograph of a rare bird. Amid escalating absurdities—Havoc raining cash on Honduran rebels, Mike juggling fatherhood and a crusade for safe sex that spawns the unlikely Dr. Whoopee—Boopsie channels an ancient warrior spirit, and Roland Hedley takes a surreal trip through Reagan’s mind. With Trudeau’s signature wit and Don Carlton’s precise inks, the story unfolds in bold, layered panels, all anchored by Trudeau’s incisive voice and Peter de Sève’s striking cover art.
