The President Is a Lot Smarter Than You Think (A Doonesbury Book) #[nn]

Jan 1973 · Holt, Rinehart and Winston · 1.50 USD

In this 1973 collection of Doonesbury, G. B. Trudeau delivers sharp, timely humor as Mark takes a summer construction job, B.D. and Bernie endure ROTC camp, and B.D.’s dad faces job loss—while Zonker tries out for the football team. The story captures a moment of national tension, with John Kerry, the Vietnam veteran and “gorgeous preppie,” speaking at the university, all rendered in Trudeau’s signature style. The cover by Trudeau himself sets the tone for a year of political and personal upheaval, drawn with precision and wit.
