Dbury@50 The Complete Digital Doonesbury

Leave it to Andrews McMeel Publishing to create and publish a totally unique tribute book.

For 50 years G. B. Trudeau has written and drawn the comic strip Doonesbury.

In the strip the various characters from all walks of life, political affiliations, religions and more have somehow miraculously meshed together to make often scathing and yet hilarious observations about the human, political, social, religious and tradition norms of the day.

I remember first reading Doonesbury back in the early 1970s when i was just out of high school.  I most closely associated with Zonker and Mike but I loved all of the other characters despite their flaws and foibles.

In the Dbury@50 The Complete Digital Doonesbury hardbound slipcase collection readers are treated to a 224-page wire-bound book than highlights the years of Doonesbury’s publication including key storylines, pivotal moments and highlights.  

Readers also get a 16: X 20” poster featuring new drawings of the strips 64 most important characters.

But, the highlight of the package is a USB flash drive packed with all 50 years of Doonesbury (daily and Sunday strips), a calendar archive, character bios, and a weekly description of the strip’s contents.

A woven lanyard is also included.  

The slipcase collection arrives shrink-wrapped and is emblazoned on the cover with Dbury@50 The Complete Digital Doonesbury.

If you are a fan as much as I am of Doonesbury then you’re sure to love this stellar collection of one of the most famous and influential comic strips ever created-it even won a Pulitzer Prize!
