Go, Read: Garry Trudeau Profile A massive, generally excellent profile of Garry Trudeau by Gene Weingarten was published over the weekend in the Washington Post's magazine. Using the reaction to the B.D. storyline as the starting point, it delves into just about anything and everything Trudeau, including what he and his male friends do on their version of guys' night out and -- astonishingly, given Trudeau's lifelong passion for privacy -- the effect of his wife's living with bipolar disorder on his work. It's a must-read, and unless Trudeau gives in one day and gives Gary Groth the interview he's been asking for for years and years, which doesn't seem likely, it may be the most insightful profile we ever get into the cartoonist's life and career.
