The Revolt Of The English Majors: A Doonesbury Book [Paperback]

G. B. Trudeau (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 19, 2001 | Series: Doonesbury Books (Andrews & McMeel)

Even challenging Dubya to a "pronunciation bee" can't save Uncle Duke's weird horse race for the White House. In the end, the former Ambassador passes out in a snow bank while the Cheney Administration kicks into high gear. Predictablistically, the new presidential syntax isn't the only thing that's tortured and strange. Take myvulture.com, an Internet company born and born-again, worth $1 million or $500, depending on whether you ask the CEO or his mother; or look at Joanie Caucus as the turnover in Washington casts her career into play, if not into midlife crisis; or consider J.J. and Zeke, whose pay-per-view, online wedding yields mucho buzz but zero bucks--just like the rest of the Net. Yes, it's a Dubya Dubya Dubya world. Doonesbury just downloads it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fine political satire and commentary, January 11, 2002

This review is from: The Revolt Of The English Majors: A Doonesbury Book (Paperback)

Revolt Of The English Majors is a collection of G.B. Trudeau's black and white Doonesbury cartoon strips and offers fine political satire and commentary. The classic characters of Doonesbury are entering middle age and re-thinking commitments and lack thereof - enjoy a set of strips which includes a center selection of full-color panels.

While looking at our society and lifestyles, politics and foibles, Trudeau once again tweaks us, as a whole. Either you love his work or hate it and the anthologies are for his most die-hard fans. These characters are the people you have watched evolve and this is a visit with old friends.

I am a big fan of Doonesbury and I was happy to see that there are Kindle versions of his books.

Unfortunately Once I downloaded this book the strips were so small they were unreadable. Guess I will stick to the paper versions for now on.
