As the Kid Goes for Broke (A Doonesbury Book) #[nn]

Jan 1979 · Holt, Rinehart and Winston

In *As the Kid Goes for Broke*, G. B. Trudeau delivers a sharp, character-driven slice of late-70s American life, where Ginny’s congressional campaign takes an unexpected turn thanks to a song by Jimmy Thudpucker, while her opponent Lacey Davenport proves a formidable foe. Meanwhile, Joanie starts a new relationship with Rick Redfern, Bernie embarks on a whimsical quest for the Loch Ness Monster, and Uncle Duke’s medical woes add a touch of absurdity to the mix—all drawn with Trudeau’s signature wit and rendered in collaboration with Don Carlton on inks and lettering.
