G. B. Trudeau's sharp Vietnam-era wit is on full display in this *Doonesbury* collection, its cover showing a helmeted figure in yellow and green seated in lush jungle grass, consulting a map beside a "Hanoi 3" directional sign, while a perplexed-looking companion in black stands nearby. The image captures Trudeau's gift for finding wry absurdity in geopolitical chaos, rendered with clean linework by cover inker Don Carlton. A fine gathering of strips that reminds us just how pointed a well-aimed comic panel can be.
