New Releases by G. B. Trudeau

"Three years of Doonesbury are packed into this Trudeau tour de force, his fourth, and perhaps most timely, major anthology. Those three years coincide precisely with the election campaign, inauguration, and first years in office of the First Cowboy. At the core of this book are the foibles and follies of life under the Reagan Administration, portrayed with the inimitable Trudeau wit and style in more than 500 daily strips and 80 full-color Sunday pages. This rich collection is Trudeau at his trenchant best, and makes the election-year return to syndication of one of America''s most popular and clearly its most political comic strips." -- Back cover

Features such spectacles as a Pentagon slide show on Nicaragua and the shipwreck of Duke and Honey on a desert island

Trudeau''s outspoken cast of wise innocents make their ways through the mid-1970s--Joanie Caucus in Washington, Uncle Duke in Samoa and Peking, and Rick Redfern, Jimmy Thudpucker, and friends wherever

Follows the lives of Doonesbury characters as they receive quick lessons in practical politics.

"Under most circumstances these days law board scores of 760 and impeccable feminist credentials might be expected to insure the swift acceptance of a candidate into law school. But when day-care director Joanie Caucus applies to half dozen top law schools, the best she can manage is inclusion on a couple of waiting lists. As the spring weeks drag by, the mail brings in one rejection slip after another, and Joanie is caught in an agonizing limbo, a circumstance shared by her creator who for reasons of literary predeterminism was compelled to ignore the dozen real-life acceptances Joanie concurrently received from sympathizing law schools across the country. Happily, the final episodes of this new Doonesbury collection bring a last minute reprieve and the tenacious lady from Walden finds herself on her way to a new life and career." -- Back cover
