Go, Read: Local Media Interview With Doonesbury’s Garry Trudeau
It's material that might be covered in the second or third section of a Gary Groth interview were Garry Trudeau to ever do one, but for now we have to take bits and pieces where we can about things like where the cartoonist grew up and how he's oriented towards those places still. Trudeau is in the Saranac Lake area using some of the facilities his family has there to hold a symposium on the veterans' issues on which he so strongly advocates. Those issues aren't only hugely and obviously important in and of themselves but from a comics standpoint have come to be the dominant signifier of Doonesbury in its fourth decade of publication, an achievement most folks paying attention to comics has yet to stop and consider in its breadth and depth.
