Created by master cartoonist Garry Trudeau, Doonesbury remains a dynamic force. Its political slant consistently amuses readers, sparks controversy, and frightens editors. Political characters appear frequently -- humorously represented by time bombs or waffles -- but the strip isn't entirely political. Trudeau deals with young love, broken relationships, and the raising of a few young kids, but the strip isn't really about warm-fuzzies either. For the millions of readers who turn to Doonesbury every day, the strip is simply a favored friend. Controversial yet always contemporary; familiar, but rarely perfectly comfortable.

In this new collection, Planet Doonesbury continues the adventures of all the regulars, from Father Duke and his recently revealed son, Earl, to the impending marriage of Mike and Kim. B.D. returns to Vietnam, and with Phred as host, discovers a war of sorts is still being waged -- not over changing politics, but the race to make money in the now industrialized country.

Presented in an exciting new format, the handsome Planet Doonesbury features large-size color Sundays. This book is a keepsake that will be treasured by Doonesbury fans -- and everyone else who will relish the wittiest chronicle yet of the late twentieth century.
