"Speaking of Inalienable Rights, Amy..." (A Doonesbury Book) #[nn]

In this 1976 collection of G. B. Trudeau’s *Doonesbury*, Uncle Duke takes on a surprising new role as Governor of American Samoa, while Mark guides a wide-eyed freshman named Ben through campus life. From Zonker’s bizarre trip to the National House Plants Convention with his potted palm to Phred running a re-education center in the wake of Saigon’s fall, the strip captures a moment of national reckoning. G. B. Trudeau’s sharp, satirical pen—supported by Don Carlton’s inks and lettering—brings together personal stories and political satire, all anchored by the quiet arrival of the last orphan from Vietnam, adopted by the Rosenthals. The cover, a collaborative effort by Garry Trudeau and Don Carlton, mirrors the book’s blend of absurdity and earnestness.
