“Doonesbury is one of the most overrated strips out there. Mediocre at best.”
--Donald Trump, 1989
A NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER!
He tried to warn us. Ever since the release of the first Trump-for-President trial balloon in 1987, Doonesbury’s Garry Trudeau has tirelessly tracked and highlighted the unsavory career of the most unqualified candidate to ever aspire to the White House. It’s all there--the hilarious narcissism, the schoolyard bullying, the loathsome misogyny, the breathtaking ignorance; and a good portion of the Doonesbury cast has been tangled up in it. Join Duke, Honey, Earl, J.J., Mike, Mark, Roland, Boopsie, B.D., Sal, Alice, Elmont, Sid, Zonker, Sam, Bernie, Rev. Sloan, and even the Red Rascal as they cross storylines with the big, orange airhorn who’s giving the GOP such fits.
Garry Trudeau is the “sleazeball” “third-rate talent” who draws the “overrated” comic strip Doonesbury, which “very few people read.” He lives in New York City with his wife Jane Pauley, who “has far more talent than he has."

- Sometimes we forget just how long Donald Trump has been running for President . He first admitted thinking about it in 1987. But Garry Trudeau has been featuring him his "Doonesbury" comic for at least 30 years. He's never been one of the main characters but has often been an adjunct character; the others play off him and the aura he gives off. Trudeau began featuring him with the brown hair, but in recent years, the coif has been orange and has become more exaggerated. He's also been written with an "edge" and an air of venality, seemingly absent from the other characters.
Garry Trudeau has published a new book, "Yuge!", repeating the strips featuring Donald Trump. It's being released at a good time. Trudeau began "covering" Donald Trump in the late 1980's when he was prominent developer in New York City...and Garry Trudeau was a prominent cartoonist. Trudeau began adding Trump in the late 1980's and he was included in stories with other characters like Duke, Honey, BD, and Boopsie. Trump did not like being mocked in print and said so, loudly. Trudeau continued to use Donald Trump as a character, much to Trump's annoyance. Trump tossed slams at Garry Trudeau and Graydon Carter of "Spy Magazine" in interviews. Later, "tweets" became Trump's means of fighting back at people he considered "unfair" to him.
Trudeau begins with Trump talking about entering the 1988 Republican contest and then skips ahead to the 2000 when he wants to run for the Reform Party nomination. Whether you're a supporter - or not - of Trump, the "Doonesbury" comics are a searing reminder of just who Donald Trump is. They should be read by everyone voting in November. - As always, Mr. Trudeau "gets it" and takes us along as he dissects this Hitler wannabe and exposes all his warts. It was horrifying enough when it was just an imagined possibility some 30 years ago, but now that the unthinkable is a reality, I can only lament that the people who elected this man weren't intelligent enough to even read Doonesbury, let alone heed Mr. Trudeau's warning. I weep for America.
- Trudeau has a nack for spotting and pointing out the worlds biggest bullies and denigrates of the world. His 30 year collection of observations of Trump is spot on. This book highlights every glaring fault of America's largest narcissistic bully. Make Trump Great Again!
- Garry Trudeau has a wonderful sense of humor but I think he must also be able to see the future. How else would he have seen, 30 years ago, that an egotistical womanizing buffoon would consider running for president? I laughed out loud while reading this book. Unfortunately the ignorant Trump supporters won't see the truths hidden in the humor.
- Trudeau was way ahead of his time. He long ago recognized Trump as the egotistical person he is who is out for himself. What a con job that Trump was able to convince the working people he was for them!
- I found myself laughing out loud. Trudeau was on to Trump over 25 years ago, and it is mind-boggling how spot-on Trudeau's depictions were then and how they resonate today. The Donald Trump of 1988 and thereabouts is the Donald Trump of today. The guys at Spy Magazine -- Grayson Carter and his cohorts -- have solicited and received a lot of ink about calling Trump a "short-fingered vulgarian," but Trudeau was far more cutting and prescient in understanding and explaining the true Trump. This work is a useful, I would venture to say a must-read, reminder that The Donald is who he has always been.
- Whether you think the Donald is a Yuge! Hero or a Yuge! Horse's patootie, you have to love the Yuge! Satirical talent of GB Trudeau in this largely hilarious and on target skewering of a famous public persona over a long period of time prior to his Yuge! ascension as Candidate Trump. The Snark Gods smile down their approval. LMAO, etc.
- While the reviews are mostly what sold me on the book,... I guess I had just expected more than I got, because I feel like I read a different book than the other reviewers.
I'm not saying the book isn't funny,..... it has it's moments (Love the 'hair' issues repeated in the 2010 chapter)
But I heard '30 years of trump' and I thought the book would consist of many satirical cartoons, drawn, between 30 years ago and the present,.... I wanted to see how the cartoons of specific situations from 30 years ago, would evolve into specific cartoons of his present activities. In this, I was disappointed.
The book does not appear to have 'begun' in the 1980s,.... it appears to have 'begun' after d.t. was already president.
The chapters time-lines are 1980-90, 1990-2000, and 2000 - 2010.
Each 10 year chapter is covered in a single story-line, that goes on for a number of pages. i.e. it is Not composed of Many satirical cartoons drawn of d,t,'s current activities in their proper time-line context,.... which is what I had expected this book to be.
While the three stories are entertaining, and oft-times quite funny,.... they are predictable.
i.e. They lack the punch of a good single cartoon or short strip, to surprise you into laughing.
Instead of 30 years of older observations made funny in and for their time,..
This appears to have been simply currently entertaining, attempt at summing up 30 years of d.t.'s history.
Entertaining ? Yes. What I was expecting ? no.
