Best to ignore Trudeau. (Double-r in his first name, by the way). His sole merit, as far as I can tell, is drawing somewhat less badly than Ted Rall.

A happy Easter to you.

Garry Tru-duh does NOT draw the strip. It is drawn by some contractually uncredited artist in Kansas City or somewhere. Also Tru-duh said once most of the ideas and story lines are contributed by his readers. Undoubtedly faxed from DNC headquarters would be my guess.

Xerox made a cartoonist out of Trudeau. I'm not sure Rall can be called anything except an angry, delusional young man.

Here's something that former corporate criminal Michael Milken discovered about ten years ago, after Trudeau spent a week trashing him: Trudeau hasn't drawn his own strips in years. It's done by -- to the best of my memory -- a pro illustrator in Colorado who is faxed scripts and who sends roughs back to Trudeau for approval and eventual delivery to the syndicate. This fact is obvious to anyone who checks the earliest Doonesbury strips.

This kind of "Bush is dumb" schtuff is irritating to be sure, but think of it this way: This is what Trudeau is reduced to nowadays because the economy isn't going as badly as he, as a Bush-basher, would hope, there aren't yet any scandals to hang on Bush or his cabinet, and W has come out smelling like an American Beauty Rose thusfar after the war.

It appears the inspiration for this attack is the Baylor University med professor who said that he would not give a recommendation on behalf of any student that would not affirm belief in evolution. Trudeau probably got that from the internet, the same place he got -- and was duped by -- that legend about Bush's IQ being 91 as opposed to Clinton's 182.

Gary Trudeau does indeed draw the strip but he has had the same uncredited art assistant since the early 1970s.
