    @PianoGuy24Isn’t that Darrell Issa’s job (when he isn’t busy engaging in auto theft, arson, and insurance fraud)?

    So now it’s “Classic Doonesbury (1973)”? So is there no longer a Doonesbury Regular? Has Trudeau retired and not told anyone?

    See ‘About Doonesbury’ to the right. This retro- gives Garry some time to work on his new TV series, Alpha House.

    Oh- and Sundays will be (relatively) current (within the usual constraints of the publishing schedule).

    Back when the Watergate hearings were going full tilt on national TV, and preempted regular soap opera programming, my wife blurted out in frustration, “Who is this guy Watergate anyway?”

    Watergate was an amazing scandal/era.

    Four guilties in the last panel! Nancy Grace gave the Duke lacrosse team only three guilties.

    Watergate was going on when I was a kid. I thought it was boring, but now I think I understand what an impact it was.

    I think this was the strip that got Doonesbury booted from a lot of comic pages, and onto the editorial page.

    Government and the way we perceive it today, be you left-, right-wing, or other, owes much to these strips.

    Man, does this ever bring back the memories.

    In 1973, I was a freshman at Brown. Daniel Ellsberg came to speak; a hero then, a hero now.

    …and the controversy begins – the strip that got Doonesbury moved to the editorial page in many papers

    @AKHendersonThe difference is, Mark was right. Grace was wrong.

    Perhaps my favorite all-time Doonesbury. I love Mark and his passion in his work. I still have the original I cut out of the paper so many years ago.

    I remember when a ton of papers refused to carry the strip this day. Quite a turning point.

    These old Doonesbury strips are history lessons for people who are under 45.

    @PianoGuy24Here is a video of the Black Panthers with the bully clubs.Look at all the intimidated white people, like the woman on the phone in the doorway. Exactly how many people were kept from voting?-http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=neGbKHyGuHU

    In keeping with the song, Dean should be the next Nixon aid mentioned.
