You Give Great Meeting, Sid (A Doonesbury Book) #[nn]
In this 1983 collection of Doonesbury strips, G. B. Trudeau delivers a sharp, character-driven snapshot of a moment in time: Roland Hedley reports from Lebanon amid political turmoil, while Joanie and Rick face the uncertain joy of impending fatherhood. From Zonker’s panic over college to Uncle Duke and Alice’s wild pitch for a De Lorean film, and a quiet moment of connection at the Bay Area Gay Alliance, the book captures lives in flux—culminating in the tender, wordless arrival of Jeff, just off the page. Art by Trudeau, with inks by Don Carlton, and a cover by the duo, this remains a standout in the series’ long-running chronicle.
