Garry Trudeau
Creator of Doonesbury
March 2011
Garry Trudeau has been drawing Doonesbury for over 40 years and now I have been welcomed into the world of Mike, Zonker and BD. Mr. Trudeau has welcomed real people into his comic for years…but usually in a symbolic way. He famously drew Newt Gingrich as a bomb and Dan Quayle as a feather. George W. Bush was nothing but a Stetson and his dad was invisible. I am honored that he chose to draw my actual person and not try to interpret me as a donkey’s butt or a leech. Huzzah!
