Mike Doonesbury

A Bronze Age fixture of the Calgary Herald's comic pages, Mike Doonesbury made his catalog debut in 1979 in a publication that brought together an eclectic mix of strip characters — from Zonker Harris and Elly Patterson to Buck Rogers himself. Spanning roughly sixteen years across a handful of collected editions including Downtown Doonesbury and Flashbacks: Twenty-Five Years of Doonesbury, this character's presence in the catalog is modest but carries the warm, nostalgic appeal of an era when newspaper comics ruled the Sunday morning table. A small but genuine piece of Bronze Age strip history worth a second look for fans of the form.
