DOONESBURY: Garry Trudeau Whines About 'Unfair' Dean Coverage

[Mamzelle]

The comic here is not only unfunny, but incoherent.

Trudeau contributed $2000 to Dean a year ago (Feb. 3, 2003), according to public FEC records. He didn't give money to any other presidential candidate (or, at least, there are no FEC records OF any other Trudeau presidential candidate contributions). Link

Dean threatened the Clintons' control over the Dim party. He's lucky they only through the media at him. Could've been worse.

Jane Pauley..... a corn-fed Catherine Denueve as someone once described her!

[Servant of the 9]

He has consistently lied about every Republican President or candidate since Richard Milhouse Nixon.

Reminds me of an article by an Egyptian (I think) doctor (psychiatrist) who held that President Bush was a borderline imbecile which the good doctor could discern by the predident's simian facial expressions alone. Probably was source material for Trudeau.

Not only will you never see Garry complain that Arnie was called a Nazi, the name he uses for him in the strip is Der Gropenfuhrer.

[Map Kernow]

The only reason Trudeau has survived for all these years is his politics. That, and the flattering image he presents to aging liberal baby-boom Yuppies of themselves. It's never been because he's witty or funny: his brand of "humor" is the most ponderously politicized I've ever seen.

[Salamander]

I think that was the late Bon Scott.

Actually, Krugman is "Krugman for Dummies".

[Timesink]

She caught a lot of heat and hate for not being Barbara Walters.

And for only being around 25 or so at the time she started coanchoring Today.

THis guy should be put in editorials ONLY and no longer in the comics. (i have asked the columbus dispatch numerous time)

I've often thought that's what all newspapers should do, at least the ones who don't lean radically to the left like the Slimes and the ComPost. A good place to put it is somewhere on the Opinion page.

I think that was the late Bon Scott.

I don't think so. Bon had a screechy, high voice, and the guy who did the "Yaaaargh!" at the end didn't.

[L.N. Smithee]

Good work!

Jane Pauley..... a corn-fed Catherine Denueve as someone once described her!

BTW...have you seen Diane Sawyer in the new Ladies Home Journal? Wowzers! I hardly recognized her!

Trudeau is a fraud.

He DOES NOT DRAW Doonsbury!

It is drawn by some guy in the Midwest, always has. Trudeau gets his ideas and scripts from his readers, presumably the DUH crowd. He is a "creative force" behind the comic strip, which basically means he does absolutely nothing but collect royalty income for other people's work.

Trudeau, isn't that french?

Mr. Jane Pauley is a fool.

[hattend]

They just didn't smear Vasoline on the lens to soften the effect, they shot that picture through the whole jar.

[Beck_isright]

If you take Trudeau at his word, or think he is still entertaining, they you have the same warped sense of humor Hillary does.

[L.N. Smithee]

Trudeau is a fraud. He DOES NOT DRAW Doonsbury!

I am aware of that. That was revealed by Michael Milken, the megamillionaire junk bond baron that was convicted of some white collar crime (some say unjustly) and sent to prison for 22 months.

After Milken got out, he was blindsided by Trudeau in the strip after he was hired for some sort of business course at UCLA. Milken -- a prostate cancer survivor who now focuses on his foundation for research a cure -- apparently hired an investigator and found out that Trudeau hasn't drawn his own strip in years -- he draws roughs that are faxed across the country to better artists.
