Heckuva Job, Bushie! (A Doonesbury Book) #[nn]

Jan 2006 · Andrews McMeel · 19.95 USD; 24.95 CAD

In this sharp, timely installment of the Doonesbury saga, G. B. Trudeau delivers a poignant and satirical snapshot of a nation in flux, where Alex grapples with the weight of the moment—considering enlistment, applying to college, and confronting political disillusionment—while B.D. navigates life after amputation and therapy. From Bush’s odd cabinet appointment to Zonker’s fast-food satire and a hauntingly quiet moment of mourning for Hunter Thompson, the story captures the era’s anxieties with humor, heart, and unflinching honesty. The full-color, cover by G. B. Trudeau and Don Carlton reflects the comic’s bold tone, making this a standout in the series’ long-running legacy.
