About this Collection

This 1975 collection gathers early Doonesbury strips from Garry Trudeau's groundbreaking comic strip, focusing on the Watergate era and the antics of characters like Duke and Zonker. The title references a famous line from the Senate Watergate hearings, reflecting the book's satirical take on 1970s American politics and culture. It's one of the first Doonesbury books published by Holt, Rinehart and Winston, capturing Trudeau's sharp social commentary in its formative years.

In this 1975 collection from G. B. Trudeau, Zonker’s arrest for pot possession in California leads to an unexpected turn as he becomes a bartender in a new city, where he crosses paths with the enigmatic barfly Alice. Meanwhile, Phred brings Cambodian refugees to Washington, D.C., navigating the political and personal currents of the moment. With sharp wit and signature satire, Trudeau’s storytelling—drawn and inked by himself, with assistance from Don Carlton—captures a pivotal era through the lens of his unforgettable characters. The cover, a collaborative effort by Garry Trudeau and Don Carlton, reflects the era’s restless energy.
