40: A Doonesbury Retrospective by G.B. Trudeau
4.0
I was aware of Doonesbury growing up, but never really read it. So I'm glad that this 40-year retrospect exists to satisfy my curiosity.
While I don't agree with every political stance Trudeau takes through his characters, I really admire and respect what he created with this strip. He made it seem cool to be aware of what was going on in the world and to have opinions about it. And it was fun to see a consistent cast of fictional characters respond to those real world events.
It's a shame he's only drawing Sunday strips now, because I'll likely become a regular reader now that I've read this book.
