Dude: The Big Book of Zonker #[nn]
In "1 The Phenom: Far Freakin' Out, Cap'n!," G. B. Trudeau delivers a sharp, satirical snapshot of American absurdity through the lens of a 15th college reunion, where B.D. and Boopsie inherit the former Walden Commune and find themselves tangled in everything from beach access battles to Uncle Duke’s presidential run on a platform of compassionate fascism. With Trudeau’s signature wit and Don Carlton’s precise inks, the story weaves through the late '90s and early 2000s’ cultural and political chaos—Enron, the Iraq war, and a very literal clothesline of memories—on a cover by Trudeau and Carlton.
