Back when Doonesbury was absolutely at its peak. I can read this book any number of times. The writing is razor sharp.
______________________________________________
The bizarre pictures of Britain's new power couple that have been plastered all over the media the last day reminded me of this classic Doonesbury exchange.
JOURNALIST: Senator, how long does it take to betray everything you ever stood for?
POLITICIAN: Oh, at least 36 hours. The paperwork's incredible!

During my teens and early 20s, I thought Doonesbury was the greatest thing ever. It was a smart person's comic strip and I read it religiously. My sister is the one who turned me onto the strip, although I was aware of it prior to these books. Doonesbury was hip!
Trudeau became full of himself and turned Walden Puddle into a political mess. I lost touch with the strip. This book represents the heyday of the gang.

A wonderfully entertaining look at the 70s. Trudeau's strips are best read together, as in this book, so you can follow the character development and appreciate the humor fully. Doonesbury at its peak.
Funny look at the 1970s. Great political cartoons when Trudeau was at his artistic peak. This got passed around a lot (and fought over) when I lived in the ISU dorms (1981-82).
I remember purchasing this book back in the 70s and still have it. That's when Doonesbury was at its best regarding characters and plotlines.
Very funny. Also read in December of 1980.
Here's an interesting question: should I knock off one star from this early collection, in order to distinguish how much better he gets, or do I keep it at five, because I loved it so much at the time (and still do)?
Another popular cartoon that a read some of but didn't really get into.
