Since its debut in 1979, For Better or For Worse has touched comic strip readers as few cartoons ever do.…
Lynn Johnston's eye for detail and her uncanny sense of what real parents and children struggle with daily are a big part of her success. The comic strip now appears in 1,550 papers in the U.S. and Canada. Read by people of all ages, the award-winning For Better or For Worse deals honestly with both the light-hearted and the serious, and to many readers, the Pattersons feel like family!Mel's Story: Surviving Military Sexual Assault (Doonesbury #35)
Par G. Trudeau. 2014
"An estimated 19,000 rapes and sexual assaults took place in the military last year. Every one of them represents a…
monstrous crime made much worse by the sense of betrayal that accompanied it. That so few victims--just one in seven--report these crimes underscores the utter lack of trust that pervades military culture."-- Retired Gen. Loree Sutton and Garry Trudeau, in a Washington Post OpEd, June 29, 2013The first time B.D. encounters command-rape survivor Melissa Wheeler in the waiting room at the VA Center, he has no idea what to make of the scowling former chopper mechanic. But in the months that follow, witnessing Mel's pain and her healing process help him with his own, and B.D. ends up a staunch and encouraging ally.With the help of VA counselors Cora and Elias, Wheeler is able to reframe her experience and move forward to the point where she re-ups and re-deploys, though the trauma and betrayal continue to haunt her. She and battlebud Roz masterfully manage a perilous rescue op of a downed USO chopper, and in the new post-DADT world the now-out Roz and her now-superior ("That's SERGEANT bitch to you!") help wind down US ops in Afghanistan. Returning stateside, Mel's final obstacle is her father's cluelessness--and a widespread reluctance to hear the truth of her story.As always, Trudeau manages to find humor and humanity in even a tale of suffering, and sheds serious light on one of the most pressing and undermining problems in our military today.Binge Parenting: A Baby Blues Collection (Baby Blues Collection)

Bucky Katt (mastermind of mayhem) is on a steady diet of raw bacon, Beluga nut crunch, and carpa-cola in order to fit into his El Megaroid superhero suit—oatmeal cans are very slimming these days. The hapless and hopeless Satchel Pooch is in the kitchen perfecting his recipe for rubber chicken l&’orange in a crayon/marker reduction sauce. And poor Rob, the vegetarian and &”owner&” of the bunch, is scrounging for scraps in the midst of this gastronomical fury. Delicious and satisfying, this treasury of cartoons features a healthy serving of favorites from Clean Up on Aisle Stupid! and You Can&’t Fight Crazy.

Sloan, and even the Red Rascal as they cross storylines with the big, orange airhorn who&’s giving the GOP such fits.Garry Trudeau is the &“sleazeball&” &“third-rate talent&” who draws the &“overrated&” comic strip Doonesbury, which &“very few people read.&” He lives in New York City with his wife Jane Pauley, who &“has far more talent than he has."Man, I Hate Cursive: Cartoons for People and Advanced Bears
