  Garry Trudeau - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Garretson Beekman Trudeau (born July 21, 1948) is an American cartoonist.
He is the great-grandson of Dr. Edward Trudeau, who created facilities for the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis at Saranac Lake, New York State.
In 2004, Trudeau made a widely-circulated offer of a $10,000 reward for proof that George W. Bush fulfilled his military duties in the 1970s.

 Doonesbury - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Garry Trudeau received the National Cartoonist Society Newspaper Comic Strip Award for 1994, and their Reuben Award for 1995 for his work on the strip.
Trudeau also delighted and intrigued readers by displaying fluency in various forms of jargon, including that of real estate agents, flight attendants, computer nerds, journalists, presidential aides, and soldiers in Iraq.
Trudeau was asked, in 1976, if the similarities were deliberate, and laughed at the reporter, saying "I really don't know her that well." Fenwick was said, in the same article, to not know about Doonesbury and could not remember having met Trudeau.

Trudeau, a Yale graduate, took a satirical look at the Reagan administration off-Broadway in 1984's "Rap Master Ronnie." In 1988, he wrote and co-produced "Tanner '88" on HBO with director Robert Altman, a satire of the Bush-Dukakis presidential campaign.
Garry Trudeau: I'm not entirely sure about this, but in general, it seems my audience has aged with me. Part of this is because the strip has always been written from a generational perspective, and part of it is because newspapers have fallen in serious disfavor with the young.
Garry Trudeau: "Doonesbury" is an amalgam of "doone," a college slang word for a good-natured fool, and "Pillsbury," the last name of one of my college roommates.

 Reason: Doonesburied: The decline of Garry Trudeau -- and of baby boom liberalism.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Trudeau had already won the Pulitzer Prize for editorial cartooning, an award never before given to a comic strip (and rarely given to someone who is actually funny).
Trudeau's career arc mirrors the evolution of baby-boom liberalism, from the anti-authoritarian skepticism of the 1970s to the smug paternalism of the Clinton years.
Trudeau was in his 20s during the strip's early run and thus had no trouble imagining that college students -- at the time, most of his major characters were in college -- would be smart and engaged with the world.

 Wired 8.08: The Revolution Will Be Satirized
Garry Trudeau is on a digital roll, reveling in dotcomedy - and chasing vertical eyeballs with his 3-D, full-motion, cross-platform Duke2000 campaign.
Trudeau hasn't done an extended interview in 10 years, but D2K has loosened him up, partly because the experimental venture needs his support, and partly because he's nervous about the future of print, where he made his reputation.
Trudeau seems well aware that the digital world he's temporarily exploring with the Duke campaign is where his career is headed, and he knows it's high time he got on the fast track of 21st-century media.

 DefenseLINK News: Cartoonist Helps Troops, Fisher House
Trudeau said he decided to take B.D., a former football star, and have him receive a life-altering injury because he wanted to dramatize the kind of sacrifices troops are making in a very direct way.
Trudeau said he considers it "quite a privilege and an honor" to be able to sit at wounded troops' bedsides and have them so openly share their experiences, as well as their hopes and fears, with a total stranger.
Trudeau admitted that it's no secret he's not a strong advocate of the war in Iraq, but said B.D. is not about politics, but rather, about American support for its men and women in uniform.

The fact is, Trudeau has won over his millions of readers through the power of his words and ideas, without having to resort to endlessly repeating overweight gags or the foibles of neurotic cat owners.
Trudeau, mindful that many of his strips constitute editorializing, has said he doesn't care where newspapers stick "Doonesbury." In 1975 he won a Pulitzer Prize for editorial cartooning -- the first time the award went to a comic strip artist -- and he was a finalist for another one in 1989.
Trudeau takes this opportunity to bash an industry that seems bent on rewarding money losers, and along the way he gets in some scathing shots at Nike, which employs one of Kim's relatives in a Vietnamese sweatshop.

Trudeau thus became a member of an elite tradition of humorists who have constructed well-defined communities from which to aim their satire.
But the static-image formula is only one option available to Trudeau, and the way he alternates it with strips featuring more varied panels gives rise to a kind of meta-rhythm for "Doonesbury" over the weeks and months.
Trudeau is dangerous -- arguably the most powerful voice for truth and justice in American journalism -- and he's hilarious.

 Power Line: Attending to Trudeau
By Trudeau's lights, Ronald Reagan was of course a stupid oaf.
I'm not familiar with the characters Trudeau employs in this strip, but his point seems to be that bloggers are obsessive, clueless, vainly in love with the sound of their voice even if no one is listening, and perhaps delusional.
Trudeau might be satirizing clueless media types who don't know that many people would take the radio guy's characterization of bloggers and revise it slightly, to say: "Isn't journalism basically for angry, semi-employed losers who are too untalented or lazy to get real jobs?" I wouldn't say that, of course, but some would.

Garry Trudeau has been one of the most influential and persistent voices of liberal America since he started drawing his Doonesbury cartoon strip in 1970.
On Trudeau's website, he specifies that the reward is for anyone who "personally witnessed George W Bush reporting for drills at the Dannelly Air National Guard Base between the months of May and November of 1972".
In any case, though, Trudeau thinks it unlikely that anyone will come forward to claim the prize, which he says would actually be donated to a charity which supports US servicemen and women overseas.
