Go, Read: Rolling Stone’s Coverage Of Garry Trudeau’s 40th Anniversary

Of the many things that distinguish Doonesbury in the long history of North American comic strips, one of the least-appreciated and little talked-about is how its been covered with admiration and general curiosity by a fellow iconic franchise of the baby-boomer generation: the magazine Rolling Stone. While I wouldn't be surprised to learn that a rough equivalent to the RS/Doonesbury relationship exists with an older strip and a same-era magazine, I sure can't think of one. Rolling Stone steps up on the comics feature's 40th anniversary of syndication with a very pleasurable interview by comics-savvy Chip Kidd with the cartoonist (there's some repetition of talking points, but a lot of new material, including brief appreciations of 1960s Marel and Phoebe Zeitgeist) and a modest slideshow of Trudeau's favorite comics. They say the print magazine has more, but I honestly couldn't tell you what that means.
