Customer Reviews

A good comic, but not for the uninitiated

Planet Doonesbury, continues the intricately woven narrative of the Trudeau universe. It remains surprisingly inventive and quirky even in the face of less-than-stirring current events. Fans of the Dukester will be a bit dissappointed by his sporadic appearance, but equal time is given to each of the other main characters. Read Virtual Doonesbury first, it'll make things more enjoyable.

ground-breaking

Hi, I have recently re-read some old collections of Doonesbury, and I just finished reading Planet Doonesbury, the latest collection. I am a writer myself, and yet words almost fail me. From the innovative cover of the latest collection to the timelessness of the classic seventies strips, the richness never fades. What struck me now was the amazing complexity the strip has developed. Not the least in the (sunday) strips about Alex and her Dad-o-rama Popmeister. The warmth and the humor alone and seperately would be a triumph for any other strip. Add to that an innovative narrative and graphic interface, and, well. What to say? I am born in Denmark in 1963, and I still live here. Yet Doonesbury enriches my life. I shudder to think what it would mean to me had I been an American university graduate born in 1946. Thank you Garry.Eolake Stobblehouse, Copenhagen, May 1998
