About this Collection

This 1989 collection from Andrews McMeel compiles a selection of Garry Trudeau's Doonesbury comic strips from the late 1980s. The title humorously references political and pop culture catchphrases of the era, capturing the strip's signature satirical take on American life, politics, and social trends of the time. It brings together storylines featuring the familiar cast of characters navigating the tail end of the Reagan years.

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.
