Brand: Holt, Rinehart and Winston

Jan 1980 · Holt, Rinehart and Winston

In this 1980 collection of Doonesbury strips, Joanie trades the East Coast for Berkeley Law School, settling into a new life in California where she bonds with her roommate Ginny and Ginny’s boyfriend Clyde, while also crossing paths with Zonker’s eccentric Uncle Duke. As Phred plots a revolution on a shoestring budget and Rufus navigates the realities of school integration with Bobby and Malcolm, G. B. Trudeau’s sharp, character-driven humor shines through — all drawn and inked with precision by Trudeau and Don Carlton, and brought to life on the cover by Trudeau and Carlton’s collaborative inks.
