	Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Doonesbury
		Doonesbury succeeded in doing at least one thing no syndicated comic strip had ever done before, and few had tried.
		Like Bull Tales, Doonesbury in its early years took place in and around Yale — but it could no more be held in that venue than Li'l Abner could be confined to Dogpatch.
		Doonesbury sequences have taken place everywhere from South Africa to Singapore, and have starred an even more stunning array of characters than can be found on a college campus.

	'Doonesbury' strikes again - The Boston Globe
		A month after some newspapers dropped "Doonesbury" for a day because of salty language, editors are faced with another delicate situation involving the comic strip.

		"Doonesbury" creator Garry Trudeau draws the daily strip close to the publication date, but the Sunday color edition is done much further in advance.

	'Doonesbury' language gets some edits - The Boston Globe
		The comic strip "Doonesbury" seems to be testing the patience of some newspaper editors.
		Saturday's strip placed a salty, four-letter expletive in the mouth of Vice President Dick Cheney, and some editors said yesterday the lack of warning about the strip left them little time to decide whether to run it intact, edit it to make it less offensive, or hold it and explain its absence to readers.
		The controversy is reminiscent of a "Doonesbury" strip last spring in which US Army reservist B.D. lost his leg and uttered an epithet that made many editors cringe.

	Berthold on Censoring Doonesbury
		Since all Doonesbury fans know Zipper is currently in his second year at Walden, this was clearly a re-run.
		Doonesbury this week was a continuation of earlier cartoons questioning President Bush's intelligence.
		I am still disappointed that you exercised your editorial prerogative as you did, and think your comparison of a cartoon questioning the president's intelligence to images of people leaping to death is a poor analogy.

	Floridian: Is 'Doonesbury' doomed?
		Doonesbury, Garry Trudeau's masterful poke at the political and social fabric of America, turns the big three-oh today.
		On the flip side of the comic's detractors are the Doonesbury loyalists who also write letters to the editors regularly.
		Reality check: A professional wrestler is elected governor of Minnesota; the president of the United States is disgraced in a sex scandal involving an intern and a cigar; an actor who played Moses becomes the president of the National Rifle Association and waves a rifle in the air during a press conference.

		Opening their newspaper comic supplements or turning to the editorial page where some newspapers place the Doonesbury strip, readers were shocked by yet another piece of grisly news from Iraq.
		The first Doonesbury cartoon was published on October 26 1970, featuring a cast of college oddballs on a fictional campus.
		And now Doonesbury is sticking it to Bush again, this time with a six- frame cartoon strip that names every one of the 700-plus US soldiers killed in Iraq since the conflict started last March.

		"The subject matter of Doonesbury for the week of April 19, in large part prompted by the nearly 4,000 wounded troops in Iraq, is a serious one," Universal Press Syndicate editor Lee Salem said in a letter to the comic's 1,400 subscribing newspapers.
		The Doonesbury conundrum felt familiar for Geoff Brown, an assistant managing editor for features at the Chicago Tribune.

		It is not the subject of Doonesbury, it is the content and the depictions that were unsuitable for our community at this time.
		doonesbury tackles a subject that is pretty big with a lot of kids on campus (i have had several servicemen-and-women in my classes, lots of them have friends/relatives overseas right now, myself included) but our paper is too afraid to run the strip.
		Yeah, today's GF beat Doonesbury, which was very anti-climactic, but maybe put in as some kind of morale-booster to Trudeau's medic sources.

	'Doonesbury' Still Feisty At 35 - CBS News
		It also spoke to the fact that "Doonesbury," an often funny, sometimes frustrating and frequently controversial comic strip born in syndication 35 years ago, is still considered weighty enough to get the government's attention.
		In 1984, a week of "Doonesbury" strips depicting Vice President Bush placing his "manhood in a blind trust" so he could serve in the Reagan White House led to this Bush retort: "Doonesbury's carrying water for the opposition.
		Some observers say the war has given "Doonesbury" a new energy, one that they say was largely absent during the 1990s, when American politics and culture didn't deliver the high-stakes issues that experts say satire needs to thrive.

	Reason: Doonesburied: The decline of Garry Trudeau -- and of baby boom liberalism. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		True, the drawing is better-crafted now, though that's not necessarily an improvement: There's something to be said for the static poses of the strip's first decade and a half, at least when compared to the sometimes self-indulgent shifts in lighting and camera angles that prevail today.
		Capp's strip, insightful and hilarious in its day, was little more than a permanent tantrum at the end; it felt like the product of a befuddled old man, desperately angry at the youth movements of the '60s but too far removed from them to lampoon them effectively.
		In that way, occasionally, Doonesbury returns to form: when the strip's Vietnam veteran returns to Southeast Asia, when its title character starts a dot-com, and even, yes, after September 11, when each of the comic's scattered characters responded to the crisis in his or her own context.

		In the United States in the l990s, it should therefore be unsurprising that overtly homosexual characters have made their appearance in the pages of the family newspaper.
		Rather than introducing a new character who would be gay, Trudeau instead reviewed his existing stable of characters, only to notice that "Marvelous" Mark Slackmeyer, former college radical, disc jockey, and irreverent son, was also a single male with no known female romantic interest.
		Popular and frequently featured enough to be meaningful, not so strange as to be insulting (as, for example, Zonker Harris), and not so prominent as to be shocking (as, for example, Mike Doonesbury himself), Slackmeyer was, in fact, a superficially obvious choice to be revealed as gay.

		This morning's Doonesbury is a scene with a doctor and creationist…with the doctor offering to treat the creationist's TB with the old drugs, or with the new ones that have been developed since the bacteria evolved resistance.
		That's correct; bacteria developing a resistance to drugs is an example of evolution, as is the development of resistance to diseases etc. The reason we're still dealing with "feet" rather than "miles" is because we haven't been observing for very long.
		Bacteria are their own kingdom, like "animals." A bacterium that evolves to a new species is like an eohippus evolving into a horse.

		For the past year, "Doonesbury" - published by Kansas City, Mo.-based Universal Press Syndicate - has followed the progress of character B.D., who lost a leg to an improvised explosive device while on patrol in Iraq.
