Read My Lips, Make My Day, Eat Quiche and Die! A Doonesbury Book #[nn]

Mar 1989 · Andrews McMeel · 6.95 USD

In this sharp, satirical 1989 installment of *Doonesbury*, the Walden College crew reunites for their fifth milestone gathering, where personal revelations collide with the shifting tides of history—Mike’s romantic entanglement with Nicole takes a sudden turn when J.J. drops a bombshell about parenthood, fracturing a friendship; meanwhile, the Cold War ends with a headline declaring "We Won!" as George Bush joins Skull and Bones, Duke commandeers Donald Trump’s yacht and books Elvis for a gig, Rick Redfern hits forty, and Kim begins high school. Written and drawn by G. B. Trudeau, with inks by Don Carlton and cover art by Trudeau and Carlton, this collection captures a moment of cultural and personal reckoning with the series’ signature wit and precision.
