About this Collection

This collection gathers a selection of Garry Trudeau's Doonesbury strips from the late 1980s, focusing on the absurdities of health trends and yuppie culture. The title pokes fun at the era's obsession with trendy diets, as characters navigate fads like beet consumption with Trudeau's signature satirical edge. It's a snapshot of the strip's sharp commentary on American life during that period.

A satirical take on the emerging "USA Today" format, this 1988 Doonesbury collection skewers contemporary politics and celebrity culture with sharp wit. Garry Trudeau’s incisive writing and art bring to life a year marked by scandal and absurdity, from Phil Slackmeyer’s prison riot to Zonker’s improbable move into a British duke’s castle. With Gary Hart, Jimmy Swaggart, and Al Gore under public scrutiny, the comic offers a sharp, timely look at a nation in flux—drawn with precision by Trudeau and inked by Don Carlton, and rendered in a striking cover by G. B. Trudeau.
