The Doonesbury Trump retrospective proves that Garry Trudeau had Drumpf's number all along

On September 14, 1987, Garry B Trudeau ran the first Doonesbury strip that mentioned Donald Trump, in which his characters marvel that New York's "loudest and most visible asshole" had floated a political trial balloon, hinting that he would run for president; thus began 30 years of marveling at, mocking, and skewering Der Drumpf, so rattling the Short-Fingered Vulgarian that he felt the need to issue a series of wounded denunciations. Now, just in time for the election, Trudeau has released a collection of his Trump-themed strips, Yuge: 30 Years of Doonesbury on Trump, just the thing to put the Republican nominee on tilt.

I did not know any of this-- TRUDEAU ROCKS!!!

OMG, that is HILARIOUS!! Love Lester's expressions

I hope he keeps up with all those bizarre (& infantile) facial expressions-- keeps digging the hole deeper

For you cat people out there: are your felines finicky eaters? If so, what would you recommend??

My cats are walking away from everything I feed them-- except tuna (and I know I'm not supposed to feed them that). Has anyone here had that problem? Maybe mine are just snooty...
