Welcome to the Nerd Farm (A Doonesbury Book) #[nn]
In this sharp, heartfelt installment of *Doonesbury*, Garry Trudeau sharpens his scalpel on the absurdities of modern life: Alex grapples with the pressures of M.I.T., Mike’s mother makes a dramatic exit from Seattle to Oklahoma, and B.D. finds himself in an ethics class with a student who’s already given up. From George W. Bush’s baffling grasp of the War on Terror to Vermonters demanding impeachment, the strip delivers its usual mix of satire and sincerity. With full-color art by Trudeau and Don Carlton, and lettering by Carlton, the cover by G.B. Trudeau captures the chaos with a touch of wry charm.
