Unfortunately, the once estimable G.B. Trudeau has come down with a case of T.D.S. (Trump Derangement Syndrome). In his collection of comic strips #Sad! Doonesbury in the Time of Trump, he covers the months leading up to Trump's election and the first year or so of his presidency. Like virtually every American comedian, Trudeau has given up humor in favor of bashing Trump.
Occasionally some of the strips poke fun at things like the PC culture, and Trudeau's characters go on with their lives. So if you're a fan of Doonesbury, this collection might be just the thing for you to enjoy. But if you're tired of the "Trump is stupid and evil" narrative being passed off as humor, don't waste your time with this book. Let Trudeau write himself into obscurity.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the complimentary electronic review copy!
