Book Description

June 1, 1995 Doonesbury Books (Andrews & McMeel)
"Trudeau finds angles." --Jerry Seinfeld

While millions of pilgrims flock to upstate New York for the 25th anniversary of Woodstock, Zonker flashes back to the original (acid triage, the bummer tent, Hendrix eating his guitar) with memories made all the more poignant by the fact that they're hallucinatory. His response to this revelation: "Whoa! Do you suppose I wasn't at the moon landing either?"

While Zonk wasn't there, he "is" here, and here is surreal enough. Tobacco executives swearing under oath that smoking is as safe as eating Twinkies; Ollie North wrapping himself in a Confederate battle flag; and the president devolving into a flying waffle--who said the sixties had the corner on weirdness? As refreshing as a full pitcher of Kool-Aid, this mind-altering collection from G.B. Trudeau, "Doonesbury Nation," is only the latest to pose the question: Is it real--or is it Doonesbury?



Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

In this Doonesbury collection, Zonker is shocked to discover that he missed Woodstock the first time around, so he tries to make up for it by catching the sequel. Uncle Duke continues his ongoing mission to hook up with every suspicious character in the world by becoming a security adviser for Oliver North, a man almost certainly more sinning than sinned against. President Clinton gets his very own icon in a reader survey, with a waffle winning out over a flipping coin, and Mikes shocks his fellow Walden alums by voting Republican. But all of this is swept aside when Boopsie becomes an alternate juror in the O.J. Simpson circus. What will she wear? --Simon Leake

4.0 out of 5 stars A trip down memory lane? A history lesson?, April 4, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Doonesbury Nation (Paperback)
Doonesbury books should be the textbook for the last week of high school history courses. You can use this book to remember the political atmosphere of the early 90s or just to have some slightly intellectual comics lying around. Of course, if you don't already like Doonesbury, this probably won't change anything.

1.0 out of 5 stars I'm a Democrat who Dislikes "Doonesbury", December 4, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Doonesbury Nation (Paperback)
Zonker, an airheaded moron was never an appealing character. His silly quest to redo Woodstock is an insult to every reader's collective intelligence. I admit, I don't like Doonesbury one iota. I CAN'T STAND that fresh mouthed brat, Alex Doonesbury and her stupid names for her pop (popster, dadster, popmeister, poppadoodle) are very irritating. Kim, the sneaky Generation X female is for the birds. Duke and his equally unappealing son are the male versions of stinky Alex. Mr. Butts should be stubbed out and flushed down the toilet.

One good thing about not being famous is you don't run the risk of being put down in "Doonesbury." That is a good incentive to shun fame. I really dislike "Doonesbury," and I was a history major!
