Doonesbury is a Pulitzer Prize winning comic strip by Garry
Trudeau that chronicles the adventures and lives of a vast array of
different characters, of different ages, professions, and
backgrounds — from the President of the United States to the title
character, Michael Doonesbury, now a middle-aged, remarried
father.
Frequently
political in nature, Doonesbury features characters professing a
range of affiliations, but the cartoon’s editorial slant is noted
for a liberal outlook. The name "Doonesbury" is a combination of
the word doone (1960s prep school slang for "someone unafraid to
appear foolish") and the surname of Charles Pillsbury, Trudeau's
roommate at Yale University.

have rendered some of Trudeau’s comics unusable, such as a 1973
series featuring John Ehrlichman, a 1989 series set in Tiananmen
Square in Beijing, China, a 1XY3 series involving Zoë Baird,
and a 2005 series involving Harriet Miers. .
Z - In September 1Z72, Joanie Caucus joined the

the commune.
