Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for September 10, 1972

First appearance of Joanie Caucus.

Her husband’s name was Clinton Caucas??? Ain’t that a kick in the head!

Hi Joannie!!!

mcd: joanie caucus

Yet when heading into D.C., there wasn’t room for three.

Joanie gets younger later on

So this is the debut of Joanie! Until now the earliest Joanie strips I saw were in the paperback collection “Call Me When You Find America”, which didn’t reprint the Sunday strips.
