4. The bloody little hands!

And who's that with him, Pinochet?

8. A character Trudeau made up...

...Kind of a stereotypical dictator whom Uncle Duke and his son Earl were lobbying for, then got overthrown.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncle_Duke

The pair lobby first in favor of Native American tribes, then the repressive regime of "Greater Berzerkistan", a fictitious Central Asian country with a genocidal and megalomaniacal dictator called Trff Bmzklfrpz.

13. Thanks, I never knew.

I’ve always seen the comic strip intermittently. Didn’t really read it at all until the mid 80s. I was too young to understand it before then.

5. Thank you JHB.

6. Another great Doonesbury strip

7. "We all still want to live in a Democracy"

Is what we should be asking our R friends, neighbors, coworkers, relatives, etc.
"You want to live in a Democracy or under a Fascist regime with a president for life?"

[JHB]

9. "But that's such a mean word, and they'll cut my taxes."

[Fiendish Thingy]

10. Is Trump the first and only president Doonesbury has shown the face of?

I mean, Reagan had a “Max Headroom” alter ego, but otherwise, they were all shown from behind or as symbols or disembodied voices (Poppy Bush was a waffle, IIRC).

BTW, I never knew Mike Doonesbury was a Republican!

[Hekate]

11. Trump has been a Doonesbury staple for decades & decades, as they are both New Yorkers...

I would never have known who Trump was if it weren't for how Doonesbury lampooned his very public life all along.

I never knew Mike D was a Republican, either!

[DBoon]

15. Yes, here is an old one about Trump

[Hekate]

16. Poor JJ, painting the ceiling & reciting "I have a family to support, I have a family to support"

Trudeau knew how loathsome Trump was from the get-go

[JHB]

14. Mike was a Forbes supporter in '96

[Hekate]

12. Kicktoons for the inestimable Doonesbury

[electric_blue68]

17. I knew Mike D was a Republican, but Not that Gary Trudeau is a New Yorker?!

18. Garry Trudeau, the author is. Mike & Kim Doonesbury live in Seattle where they raised his daughter...

…Alex. Mike was kinda floundering when offered a job by old college friend and mad scientist (in college at least) Bernie, who was making it big in the tech industry.

19. Ugh, duh! Of course. 😂 TY. (and corrected!)

[Ferrets are Cool]

20. There are NO good republicans
