[.ca] Flashbacks:: Twenty-Five Years of Doonesbury (ISBN 0836204379)

From Amazon.com:
A must for any fan, this annotated collection of more than 800 strips, from the late '60s to 1995, includes comments from Trudeau and many of his satirical targets. From its beginnings in the Yale University student paper, Doonesbury quickly spread through newspapers in the U.S. and across the world, and the strip is currently featured in more than 1400 publications. Its strength has always been its nimble response to the ever-changing landscape of American culture, and even though many of the events in this volume have passed into history, or even obscurity, the humor is as fresh as ever. For almost three decades, Trudeau has offered a refreshingly satirical take on everything from Watergate to Zippergate while following the ups and downs of a cast of characters that have become as well-loved as any in literature. The comments from newspapers, politicians and other that surround the strips reproduced in Flashbacks serve a dual purpose. They provide a context for readers who may not have been born when Nixon was president, and they amply demonstrate the enormous impact of Doonesbury on the American political landscape. It's funny too! --Simon Leake

Look back in irony!:
Has it really been 25 years that Doonesbury is making his contributons to our survival in a world gone mad? This book makes it possible to look back, not in anger but irony. The problems from back then are gone, replaced by even worse ones, the cast has grown older but Mike and his friends are still with us. Great!

Hail,hail,the gang's all here!:
Here we find the first CharlieBrownish debut of Mike, and also the first appearances of B.D. the Jock, zonked Zonker and Marvelous Mark, and also Bloopsie, Joanie Caucus, and the immortal Duke, whose Chinese saga makes one of the best pages of the book. Here you can follow the graphic evolution of the strip,and the psychological evolution of the charachters in the course of American and world history. A must for the Doonesbury fans!

25 years of a great comic:
A wonderful collection of Trudeau's best of the first 25 years of Doonesbury. Includes critiques and comments by everyone from Gerald Ford to Trudeau's dad ("in my day, you would have been a loser") to Bob Dole and Pat Schroeder. It was fun also to watch the development of the major chars, as B.D. goes from college quarterback to soldier to talent agent and back to the military with the Gulf War or as Duke takes his trips from governor of American Samoa to ambasador (sp?) to China and NRA lobbyist. Professor Kissinger, the Carter human rights awards and Reagan policy all come under fire in this beautiful satire. Much more worthwile than Trudeau's short books.
