Death of a Party Animal (A Doonesbury Book) #[nn]

In this sharp, satirical 1986 installment of *Doonesbury*, G. B. Trudeau delivers a biting look at American life under Reagan, where Sal begins college, Mark and J.J. start their first apartment, and Zonker’s lottery win leads to a surreal purchase: the Walden Commune. With Uncle Duke’s shocking death revealing a bizarre twist, and J.J. turning a restroom into a work of art—free of charge—Trudeau weaves absurdity with social critique, as Scot shelters undocumented immigrants at the commune and fear of a Nicaraguan invasion grips the nation. The story, illustrated with precision by Trudeau and inked by Don Carlton, features a cover by Trudeau and Carlton that captures the era’s anxious energy.
