About this ebook
A NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER!
He tried to warn us. Ever since the release of the first Trump-for-President trial balloon in 1987, Doonesbury’s Garry Trudeau has tirelessly tracked and highlighted the unsavory career of the most unqualified candidate to ever aspire to the White House. It’s all there—the hilarious narcissism, the schoolyard bullying, the loathsome misogyny, the breathtaking ignorance; and a good portion of the Doonesbury cast has been tangled up in it. Join Duke, Honey, Earl, J.J., Mike, Mark, Roland, Boopsie, B.D., Sal, Alice, Elmont, Sid, Zonker, Sam, Bernie, Rev. Sloan, and even the Red Rascal as they cross storylines with the big, orange airhorn who’s giving the GOP such fits.
Garry Trudeau is the “sleazeball” “third-rate talent” who draws the “overrated” comic strip Doonesbury, which “very few people read.” He lives in New York City with his wife Jane Pauley, who “has far more talent than he has."

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Standard Doonesbury goodness. It's a nice reminder that Trump has been a jerk for a very long time.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5You know, Trump didn't just come out of nowhere. And looking at this collection of 30 years of Trudeau cartoons reacting to the man's ego, ethics, sexism, racism, etc., I guess we can't say we didn't see this coming. Alternately hilarious and (from our current political perspective) gut-wrenching, this is a good way to to get a little historic perspective on our current president. I also need to remember to read Doonesbury more often -- I forgot how much I like it!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was quite troubling (and amazing, really) how on point Trudeau was all these many years. I'm still don't want to believe that he is the president... But... I must. Sigh.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Garry Trudeau has been lampooning Trump in Doonesbury for 30 years. The first cartoon strip in this book dates from September 16, 1987 and the last one was April 17, 2016 (his intro is dated April 14 and the book came out pre-election). But what's remarkable is how much Trump, the perennial presidential candidate, remains the same decade after decade. Anyone who followed his remarkable run these past two years will immediately recognize the character (caricature?) who is depicted in the late 80s. And perhaps this is not surprising. In Frontline's documentary, President Trump, Trump himself reveals to his biographer that his basic character was pretty much in place by the time he was five years old. And one of his old school mates from the New York Military Academy says that Trump's attitudes and outlook are pretty much the same today as when he graduated as an 18 year old in 1964. But maybe this consistency is a good thing in politician. The opposite of the flip flop. What is for sure is that Trudeau, despite wanting to put down his pen, will surely have a rich trove of material for Yuge Volume Two, the Presidential Years.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I have been a fan of Doonesbury and G.B. Trudeau since the 1970s when the cartoon was first published. If you want to understand the history, politics, and culture of the past 45 years and you don't want to suffer through college courses or books in history, then skim through Doonesbury's cartoon strips. Yuge is a collection of Doonesbury's strips about Donald Trump from the past 30 years. As a caveat, please note that Trump is no fan of Trudeau's work. Trudeau skewers Trump as a businessman, self-professed icon, playboy, reality star, and now pseudo-politician. I enjoyed the book as it was very entertaining and funny.
Trudeau introduced his book with a defense and a warning..."You can't make this stuff up, so why try? Some people feel that Trump is beyond satire, but we professionals know he is satire, pure and uncut, free for all to use and enjoy, and for that we are not ungrateful. For our country, though we can only weep."
Agreed! - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Trudeau has been on to Donald J. Trump's shtick, his excesses, and his contemptible qualities for almost 30 years, periodically tapping in to the deep well of satirical potential that the classless real estate mogul provides. With great wit (and often remarkable prescience), this well-timed collection of past Doonesbury strips hilariously skewers all that defines Mr. Trump: the faux chic lifestyle, the arrogance, the narcissism, the shameless self-promotion, the childish bullying, the unabashed bigotry, the heavy-handed use of eminent domain, the financial difficulties, the marital infidelities, the unfettered objectification of women, and, of course, the self-centered political aspirations. Highly recommended, especially during this bizarre presidential campaign.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5In this timely collection of cartoons spanning the 1980s until the present, Trudeau has created some very clever plot lines around our Republican candidate for president. I savored these at different times of the day for about a week, reading a few where and whenever I had a few minutes. I found myself laughing out loud several times, and while most of them I have read before, it was still a lot of fun seeing them again, especially as a whole collection. I highly recommend it for everyone, whether or not they support Trump’s bid for the White House, because everyone deserves a good laugh.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5These are cartoons from the Doonesbury comic strip published between September 1987 and April 2016. The book was published early in 2016.What's obvious is that in the thirty years that Gary Trudeau has been lampooning Trump through these cartoons, Trump has not changed a bit, which means basically and unfortunately, no growth at all as human being.While at times I did laugh at the utter absurdity of the man, mostly it struck me as being almost too true to be funny. As the flap of the book says ”It's all there – the hilarious narcissism, the schoolyard bullying, the loathesome misogyny, the breathtaking ignorance – and a good portion of the Doonesbury cast has been tangled up in it.”What is truly funny are the comments made by Trump about his appearances in the comic strip, which are generously quoted on the back cover : “Actually I don't read his stuff. You know, I did well in school, but for the life of me, I still can't understand what Doonesbury is all about.”
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Love Doonesbury, but Trump is a bit overwhelming to have an entire book based on him. I feel like I need to shower.
