About this Collection

This collection brings together early 'Doonesbury' strips centered on the character Ms. Caucus, a feminist and political activist navigating the social upheavals of the 1970s. The book captures Garry Trudeau's sharp satire of gender politics, campus life, and the counterculture, featuring the debut of the iconic character as she challenges the status quo. It compiles daily and Sunday strips from the early years of the series, offering a focused look at one of the strip's most memorable figures.

In this 1975 collection of Doonesbury strips, Mark hitchhikes back to college and gets drawn into a fuel-shortage protest with a trucker, while Joanie takes a step toward her future by applying to law school. Meanwhile, Roland Burton Hedley, Jr. reports on the Walden commune for Time, the Watergate hearings unfold in the background, and Dick Davenport makes a surprise proposal at an alumni reunion—each thread capturing the restless energy and shifting priorities of a nation in transition. Written and drawn by G. B. Trudeau, with inks by Don Carlton and cover art by Garry Trudeau and Don Carlton, this collection offers a sharp, timely snapshot of American life in the mid-70s.
