Got War?: A Doonesbury Book Kindle & comiXology
"Rear Admiral Steve Kunkle, commander of the carrier strike force, grimaced at a Doonesbury comic strip from the Japan Times. It showed a Navy pilot thinking 'Oops!'" As Doonesbury shifts to a wartime footing, the strip's major players find themselves pre-positioned for the coming cakewalk. Weekend warrior B.D. leaves the Fighting Swooshes of Walden in the care of acting Coach Boopstein, returning to the sands of Kuwait as Camp Blowback's Public Affairs Officer. Among his charges: Roland Hedley, veteran of a grueling combat training program designed to keep media folk from getting capped. Offshore, the irrepressible Morale Officer Lieutenant. Tripler goes live ("Good MORNING, regime-changers!") to lift the shipbound spirits of his pre-swarthy charges, while offstage, Viceroy-in-Waiting Duke prepares to answer empire's call.
Stateside, Mike takes up a flanking position on the sofa to log some serious CNN time, while the Reverend Sloan girds his loins for peace: "Look for us on TV-we'll be a million strong." Marching to the beat of a different cause, Zonker's old surfing mentor tries to enlist Z in a desperate fight to liberate Left Coastal access. Protests Zonk, "What can I do? I am but one dude!" Meanwhile, Jeff Redfern is but one CIA intern, yet he manages to launch a Predator drone and, using basic Nintendo training, knock out an Al-Q ammo dump. Also taking a hit, Trent Lott, busted for giving props to segregation. "I was trying to say I was down with the hood!" he backpedals, realizing too late that Mr. James Crow has finally left the house.
With Alex declaring eco-jihad on SUVs, and Elmont launching a daily assault on coherence as on-line blogger "Jenny McTagart, Girl Pirate," it's hard to see a peaceful world ahead. But Jimmy Thudpucker can. Waging war on the recording industry, he and other filesharers have a vision of ultimate change de regime: "The suits die off, and Pepperland will be free again."

This book is very well sumarized in the editorical review,so I won't repeat.In this, one the strip is covered from Jul.1,2002 to Jul.19,2003.The book has 152 pages,of which 48 are in color.Too bad all were not in color because color adds a lot to the strip.In Toronto ,it is in color every day and I
I feel sorry for those who must be satisfied with black and white.That may be OK for Crossword Puzzles,but passe for comics.
By the way,Check out the feature article on Doonesbury in the Aug 4,2004 issue of Rolling Stone Magazine.
This collection covers the Bush II wars. It does so with humor AND "sharp knife" criticism. I like the way that the "book of cartoon strips" tells me a story (even with the political undertones). This set of cartoons (and the even harder charging one covering today's events to come soon)is often better at telling the story than many history books that spend 300 pages trying to examine the same issues. Don't be afraid to read it (whether red or blue). Trudeau is a master.

Reading a back dated strip is like going through a photograph album.
I'll never be too tired to read one more strip.
Got War is just another season of my life.
