What Is It, Tink, Is Pan in Trouble?: A Doonesbury Book (Doonesbury Books (Andrews & McMeel))
The 1992 presidential election was a rich source of inspiration forDoonesbury's particular brand of satire. Dan Quayle didnotlike many of the strips collected here, especially Rick Redfern's evidence about Quayle's attempts to silence a potentially damaging witness. George Bush was also pretty peeved when Trudeau printed--verbatim--transcripts of presidential waffling. Sometimes a satirist can just sit back and watch a politician shoot him- or herself in the foot. Over and over again.Meanwhile, Uncle Duke quits Club Scud and heads back to the U.S. to manage the presidential campaign of his rabid right-wing cousin David. Mike is unemployed and running out of self-esteem, B.D. suffers the aftereffects of Desert Storm, and Zonker returns to the bosom of his family.--Simon Leake
