This review is from: Still a Few Bugs in the System (A Doonesbury Classic) (Paperback)

I have a fairly complete set of the Doonesbury books, including the first black-white one bought for 50 cents on the Yale campus ca. 1968. Our 14 year old son has read them over and over for years and has formed his perspective of American history largely from these books (he's in an Austrian school). Some of his earlier innocent questions were: "Papa, who was Jeb Macgruder?" "Papa, was Kissinger a bad guy?" "Papa, was Nixon a good president?"

I liked this Doonesbury a lot (my favorite is still the black-white original), but Hans' favorite is probably "But this war had such promise". Unfortunately, what Americans seemed to have learned about the arrogance and overestimation of power by 1975 was essentially forgotten over the next 25 years. Weak education system and bad news reporting.
