Wouldn't a Gremlin Have Been More Sensible? (A Doonesbury Book) #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection gathers early Doonesbury strips from 1970 to 1975, chronicling the post-college adventures of Mike Doonesbury, B.D., and the rest of the Walden Commune crew as they navigate the shifting social and political landscape of the early 1970s. The title humorously reflects the absurdity of the era's events, from campus protests to the Watergate scandal, all filtered through Garry Trudeau's sharp, satirical lens. It's a foundational volume that captures the strip's transition from a college comic to a national commentary on American life.
In this 1975 collection from G. B. Trudeau, Joanie’s move to Berkeley Law School kicks off a series of sharp, timely stories: she bonds with her roommate Ginny and Ginny’s boyfriend Clyde, crosses paths with Zonker’s eccentric Uncle Duke, and navigates the campus scene alongside Phred’s increasingly absurd revolutionary schemes. Meanwhile, Rufus quietly supports Bobby and Malcolm as they adjust to being bused to an integrated school, all rendered in Trudeau’s signature blend of wit and social observation. The story is written and illustrated by G. B. Trudeau, with inks by Don Carlton, and the cover features pencils by Trudeau and inks by Garry Trudeau and Don Carlton.
