Yeah I know exactly what Mr. Trudeau is going through. As much as I want to stop talking about Sarah Palin , I simply find that I cannot. Maybe there is some 12 step program we could attend or something.

Doonesbury creator Garry Trudeau has written an article in today’s Stars and Stripes to rebut critics of his strip and his “anti-military” positions. Lately, however, I’ve been struck by the unusually harsh tone taken by some of your writers. I can only guess that they are either occasional readers who have no context for judging [...]

Stars and Stripes Garry Trudeau notes that most Americans turned against the war long ago and have disengaged, "which makes efforts in the journalistic community to keep the focus on military and veteran issues all the more pressing." The "Doonesbury" creator adds: "I have tried to play a small, constructive role in that undertaking, and fervently hope that whatever my shortcomings,...

Turns out, Doonesbury creator Garry Trudeau made the right call. All the newspapers which accepted Trudeau's cartoons for this week depicting Barack Obama winning the presidency -- delivered a week before the electon results would actually be known -- get...

[comics] Garry Trudeau Submits Doonesbury Cartoons Featuring Senator Obama Win … Trudeau: ‘Fivethirtyeight.com, the most respected of the polling analysts, is now giving McCain a 3.7% chance of winning (and that’s without factoring in the huge lead Obama’s taken in early voting), so I guess I like my odds. Still, we supplied our clients with [...]

WashingtonPost.com Garry Trudeau says of next Wednesday's "Doonesbury," which has Barack Obama winning the election: "If I didn't call the election, I'd have no premise for the week and be forced to write about something else. I didn't want to write about something else. This is history. ...Here's the way I look at it: If Obama wins, I'm in the flow and commenting on a phenomenon. If...

I used to be a moderately talented amateur cartoonist, in a Jules Fiefferish, overly Garry Trudeau-ified way. Good enough that if I drew you, you'd have known it was you. You'd have wondered why I hadn't given you any feet and why your hands were in your pockets or hidden behind a coffee mug or a book or some other object you were apparently meant to be holding---I couldn't draw shoes...

Okay, fine. Sit there with your hands folded as the mighty elitist plumbers take over our planet. They already control the media, fluoridate our water, and they're interferin' with my daughter's weddin'!

Berkeley Breathed isn’t the only reclusive cartoonist whose out and about, Doonesbury’s Garry Trudeau has been in the news lately. Firstly, he was in Minnesota on Tuesday for a private fundraiser for Senate candidate Al Franken (yes, THAT Al Fraken). According to the MinnPost.com blog, Garry is traveling the United States campaigning on behalf of [...]

For 40 years, Garry Trudeau’s Doonesbury has been at the forefront of political and social commentary, often to much praise and controversy (Trudeau won a Pulitzer Prize for the strip in 1975, but has pissed off a lot of people over the years, including the Roman Catholic Church). In 2004, Trudeau began a groundbreaking storyline [...]

... was just coming into his own and joining the likes of Jeff MacNelly, Doug Marlette, Pat Oliphant, Garry Trudeau and Berke Breathed, whose "Bloom County" comic strip was so good it waltzed in one year and stole the Pulitzer away from under the noses of the rest of the bunch. After Oliphant complained about that, Breathed created a whiny two-inch-high character in "Bloom County" based...

I always enjoy Garry Trudeau’s Doonesbury, and the last couple of weeks (Nov. 10 to 22) have been a real treat. Trudeau is digging into some of my favorite parts of the strip’s history, doing a mini-retrospective on the late, lamented Lacey Davenport, a Republican legislator from California. If I were ever to [...]

Politically, I am an Independent Moderate, like an increasing number of people. Some call us Centrists, but that epithet actually better describes those who are members of one of the major parties but avoid the extremes of their own party. President Clinton was a Centrist, and Garry Trudeau turned him into a waffle. [...]

... Streep sometimes showed up to root for her Yale boyfriend. And in the Yale newspaper, cartoonist Garry Trudeau poked fun at the whole phenomenon of football-worship, using Yale's quarterback Brian Dowling as the model for the overconfident "B.D."—a character still featured in Trudeau's Doonesbury today.
