“But the Pension Fund Was Just Sitting There” (A Doonesbury Book)

G. B. Trudeau’s “But the Pension Fund Was Just Sitting There” collects a run of his Pulitzer Prize–winning Doonesbury comic strips from the late 1970s and early 1980s. Published by Holt, Rinehart and Winston in 1985, this single volume captures the sharp political satire and evolving character arcs that defined Trudeau’s landmark series during the Carter and early Reagan years. A key installment in the long-running Doonesbury library, it showcases Trudeau’s singular voice as both writer and artist, cementing the strip’s reputation as a witty chronicle of American life.
