Duke 2000: Whatever It Takes: A Doonesbury Book

Characters from the Pulitzer Prize-winning "Doonesbury" comic strip track the 2000 presidential campaign of Uncle Duke, the end of an Internet start-up, and the revival of an aging rocker's career in this collection of strips.

Now approaching its 30th year of syndication, Doonesbury continues to entertain, inspire, and provoke with its unique blend of social commentary, humor, and political satire. Chronicling the millennial state of the nation through the interconnected lives of its large cast of characters, the strip offers unusual perspectives on the usual suspects, and asks impertinent questions on the pertinent subjects of the day. In this all-new collection Trudeau's Pulitzer Prize-winning strip tracks the end of an Internet start-up and the beginning of a gay marriage, the revival an aging rocker's career-and the complete reinvention of the irrepressible Uncle Duke. In a presidential primary campaign attracting the likes of Warren Beatty and Donald Trump, perhaps it was not surprising that the former ambassador to China decided to throw his bandana into the ring. This book preserves for future historians the origins of Duke's remarkable candidacy (which can be tracked at www.Duke2000.com). Doonesbury appears in more than 1400 Sunday and daily papers and on the Doonesbury Town Hall Web site at www.doonesbury.com.
