for those who wondered what Trudeau would do about HST's death...

1. considering the vicious letters HST sent Trudeau...

.... its not surprising he didn't go for some kind of touching tribute.

Dunno which book one of them is in - FEAR AND LOATHING IN AMERICA, maybe? Great, vicious stuff. HST didn't much care for being a cartoon character.

2. he sought advice on whether he could sue him

from Sandy Berger, no less.

5. That's interesting.

I am as big a fan of Trudeau as I am of HST, and Duke is perhaps the most loving and enduring version of any public figure in any comic I can imagine.

But I'm not the least bit surprised that Hunter would still loathe the whole idea. I doubt Garry was surprised either.

Still, I consider a full week of strips a major tribute, and the drug stuff is a call-back to the Duke of the seventies, when all his adventures involved high dosage of something or another.

I remember a strip where he wouldn't even start his lecture until his meds kicked in. Once the audience looked like winged lizards he was ready to speak.
