LEWSER!: More Doonesbury in the Time of Trump

By G. B. Trudeau

Following YUGE! and #SAD!, volume three of the Doonesbury Trump Trilogy chronicles the disrupter-in-chief’s massive output of grievance and fear.

From the Pulitzer Prize–winning cartoonist whose acclaimed YUGE!: 30 Years of Doonesbury on Trump blew up the bestseller list, G. B. Trudeau’s final installment of his Doonesbury Trump Trilogy takes readers through the dark heart of Trump’s presidency and into 2020 election mania. Including two years’ worth of original Doonesbury Sundays, full-color spreads, and eighteen previously unpublished strips, the presciently-titled LEWSER! chronicles our most recent—and apparently never-ending—national nightmare.

“When historians look back on this era, Doonesbury will be as good a record as any of the national zeitgeist.” —Rolling Stone

“Why so surprised America? Doonesbury has been preparing us for President Trump since 1987.” —USA Today

Another fine visit with the Doonesbury cast, though at this point, the strips are less humorous than overwhelmingly depressing. Not only do I have to relive last year's Trump lowlights, the strips at the end start getting into the COVID-19 pandemic.But hey, one of the couples in the book has a baby and one regular finds herself rubbing elbows with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in the Capitol.

LEWSER! (2020) by G B Trudeau. At one point Donald Trump called Mr. Trudeau “A total loser!” This collection of Doonesbury comics is the response to that remark.Unlike the Donald who will make a statement without a fact to back it up, this collection has page after page of facts from “The Donald”. by “The Donald” and very much illustrating the point that “The Donald” is a reckless, irresponsible, possible mad man helming the ship of state. Page after page of funny/sad comments from “The Don” are used to illuminate just how unfit he is to be in the position the Electoral College, and not the people, put him in.I have followed Doonesbury since Trout Fishing in the Reflecting Pool came out and I have never seen Mr. Trudeau miss the mark, be it Nixon, Bush, Obama or whoever. This is not for fans of “The Donald” unless they have the nerve to look at the other side other idol.

Rating: 3.75* of fiveYou already know if this book is for you. If you voted for 45 (why are you reading my reviews, for a start) you shouldn't even acknowledge it exists. If you didn't vote at all, pre-order it immediately for July delivery. If you didn't vote for 45, but voted, well...do you like banging your fingers in filing-cabinet drawers? Do you laugh at car wrecks? Your jam awaits.For my part, I'm just thrilled that Garry Trudeau still has the mental and visual acuity to mirror that which is painfully obvious in terms both amusing and enlightening. Even though it's a bit much taken all together. Maybe space out the read.
