Summary
" Doonesbury is one of the most overrated strips out there. Mediocre at best."
--Donald Trump, 1989
A NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER!
He tried to warn us. Ever since the release of the first Trump-for-President trial balloon in 1987, Doonesbury 's Garry Trudeau has tirelessly tracked and highlighted the unsavory career of the most unqualified candidate to ever aspire to the White House. It's all there--the hilarious narcissism, the schoolyard bullying, the loathsome misogyny, the breathtaking ignorance; and a good portion of the Doonesbury cast has been tangled up in it. Join Duke, Honey, Earl, J.J., Mike, Mark, Roland, Boopsie, B.D., Sal, Alice, Elmont, Sid, Zonker, Sam, Bernie, Rev. Sloan, and even the Red Rascal as they cross storylines with the big, orange airhorn who's giving the GOP such fits.
Garry Trudeau is the "sleazeball" "third-rate talent" who draws the "overrated" comic strip Doonesbury , which "very few people read." He lives in New York City with his wife Jane Pauley, who "has far more talent than he has."
G. B. Trudeau has been drawing his Pulitzer Prize-winning comic strip for more than forty years. In addition to cartooning, Trudeau has worked in theater, film, and television. He also has been a contributing columnist for the New York Times op-ed page and later an essayist for Time magazine. He is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences. He lives in New York City with his wife, Jane Pauley. They have three grown children.
