#SAD!: Doonesbury in the Time of Trump Paperback – Illustrated, September 18, 2018

Another satirical romp through the orange first Presidency. So many flags raised and questioned in excellent Doonesbury style. A great commentary on where our society was headed. Trudeau was reading the tea leaves pretty accurately.

Trudeau has hit it out of the park again. Even with an easy target like Trump these strips will make you think. If satire is your thing then don't miss this book.

I don't know about anyone else, but I was really beginning to miss the brilliance of Garry Trudeau and his "Doonesbury" comic strip, in the Age of Trump. His strip just disappeared and I couldn't find it til I saw the website a couple of months ago. Evidently, he's only publishing six-panal cartoons on Sundays. Well, now we have "#SAD! Doonesbury in the Time of Trump", which is a compilation of the strips from the past couple of years.The book actually begins during the 2016 elections. I get the feeling that Trudeau, much like many of the rest of us, didn't really think Donald Trump would actually win. And become president. And throw us into disorder and despair. But he did win and Trudeau's wit does take some of the sting off the bitterness many of us have been feeling.Donald Trump is not the subject of all the comic strips. Doonesbury and his family of characters make up most of the strips' casts. But most refer to things going on from 2016 to 2018. Garry Trudeau, as always, is witty but mostly punctures with a gentle edge. And that's what we need most.

This collection delivers what we all know and dislike about this former potus.

It's a good time to review Trudeau's take on 45's troubling years. This one is spot on

Added to my library

Doonesbury always hits the nail on the head. Funny stuff -- to bad it is so crazy.

If you loved Doonesbury growing up and you still lov qe it, this book is hysterical. Gary Trudeau has captured our "trump years" as no one else can. For a break from all the bad stuff going on right now; covid-19, protests over civil rights and enduring the trump administration, #SAD offers mental relief. Buy this book.
