About this title

Synopsis

Doonesburychronicles the adventures and lives of an array of characters of various ages, professions, and backgrounds, from the President of the United States to the title character, Michael Doonesbury, now a middle-aged, remarried father.

What began asBull Talesin the Yale Daily News in 1968 became Doonesbury when it debuted as a Universal Press Syndicatefeature in 1970. The strip followed the lives of college roommates B.D. and Mike Doonesbury from their first encounter through the intricate life turns they experience, along with the cadre of eccentric and engaging characters they encounter over the next forty years. Always political, relentlessly pointed, expertly drawn and written, Doonesburyis a classic in its own time, and this book commemorates that special place in cartoon history it holds.
