In this 1983 collection from G. B. Trudeau, the lives of Doonesbury’s beloved characters take a wild turn when Joanie and Rick learn they’re expecting, while Duke and Honey’s dream of running a boat charter quickly sinks into chaos—literally—after they buy a vessel that ends up stranded on a deserted island. With Trudeau’s sharp wit and signature art, the story blends personal revelations with absurd, high-seas misadventures, all rendered in his distinctive style and brought to life by Don Carlton’s inks on the cover.
