Garry Trudeau To Receive Yale’s Mental Health Research Advocacy Award

Doonesbury's Garry Trudeau will receive the Mental Health Research Advocacy Award from the Yale School of Medicine for his "outstanding portrayal of the readjustment issues faced by soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan," it's been announced. The award will be given to the cartoonist on April 5. Trudeau's sensitive, lengthy and generous depiction of core character BD's readjustment into everyday life after being injured overseas has been lauded by any number of sources. Perhaps most surprisingly, it has given Trudeau a huge audience among military personnel and their families. It's beginning to look like it will one day be remembered as the key plotline of the feature's latter half.
