About this Collection

This 1973 collection brings together early Doonesbury strips centered on the Nixon administration, capturing Garry Trudeau's sharp political satire as the comic strip was gaining national prominence. The book compiles daily and Sunday strips from the series' first few years, focusing on characters like Mike Doonesbury, B.D., and Mark Slackmeyer as they navigate the absurdities of the era's politics. It stands as a period snapshot of Trudeau's evolving commentary on American life and leadership.

In this 1973 collection of Doonesbury, G. B. Trudeau delivers sharp, timely humor as Mark takes a summer construction job, B.D. and Bernie endure ROTC camp, and B.D.’s dad faces job loss—while Zonker tries out for the football team. The story captures a moment of national tension, with John Kerry, the Vietnam veteran and “gorgeous preppie,” speaking at the university, all rendered in Trudeau’s signature style. The cover by Trudeau himself sets the tone for a year of political and personal upheaval, drawn with precision and wit.
