It can get visually raunchy sometimes though.

One of the major differences is that although the lives of the characters in the Trudeau strip are invariably comfortable, they are often emotionally miserable. On the other hand, the characters in the Day by Day strip have suffered severe reversals in recent years, even going so far as having been invaded by a SWAT team, arrested imprisoned without trial. In spite of this, they remain optimistic.
Secondly, when the Doonesbury strip features a guest, Trudeau cannot seem to bring himself to do a caricature, often resorting to a disembodied voice emanating from a prop. If he does do caricature, he gets it wrong,for instance, when he drew Joe the plumber as being obese with an unruly mop of blond hair. when Chris Muir introduces someone well known, that person is drawn as realistically as anyone else in the strip.

Shooting the President in effigy?

When did that become funny, or even acceptable?

It’s very well done, graphicly speaking. The artist understands page layout and 2d black/grey/white weight balance which unifies a piece. The artist understands human anatomy as seen from a low point of reference.(No, I’m not being inappropriate with that comment.: ) The robins egg blue background hue is inviting, yet threatening and eerie at once due to its vibrancy, due to it’s rebellious joy even with this subject. I studied graphic design and fine arts years ago (Carter Administration). I tell the kids I went to art school in 1974 BC BC meaning Before Computers. Always good to see the simple vehicle of a comic strip getting a new boost.
