We're Eating More Beets! (A Doonesbury Book) #[nn]
A satirical take on the emerging "USA Today" format, this 1988 Doonesbury collection skewers contemporary politics and celebrity culture with sharp wit. Garry Trudeau’s incisive writing and art bring to life a year marked by scandal and absurdity, from Phil Slackmeyer’s prison riot to Zonker’s improbable move into a British duke’s castle. With Gary Hart, Jimmy Swaggart, and Al Gore under public scrutiny, the comic offers a sharp, timely look at a nation in flux—drawn with precision by Trudeau and inked by Don Carlton, and rendered in a striking cover by G. B. Trudeau.
