About this Collection

This collection gathers the early 1980s Doonesbury strips that follow the absurdist premise of searching for Ronald Reagan's brain, a satirical take on the president's perceived detachment. G.B. Trudeau's comic strip skewers the political landscape of the era with its trademark wit and character-driven humor. The volume compiles a specific story arc from the daily newspaper strip, offering a time capsule of Reagan-era political commentary through the lens of Garry Trudeau's iconic characters.

In Search of Reagan's Brain (A Doonesbury Book) delivers a sharp, satirical snapshot of 1980s political culture through G. B. Trudeau’s signature wit, with the cartoonist both writing and drawing this incisive collection. From Zonker’s absurd biathlon of tanning and golf to Roland’s mockumentary on Reagan’s mind—sponsored by Anacin—each thread captures the era’s anxieties with humor and precision. The cover, by Trudeau and Don Carlton, perfectly mirrors the book’s blend of irony and intrigue.
