In 1993, Garry Trudeau told the graduating class of Princeton University that “civilization has always advanced on the shimmering wake of its discontents.” Trudeau’s ability to address the most challenging social and political issues of our time with satirical comic strips has guided Doonesbury, and his career, in and out of controversy for more than four decades. It also earned him the first Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning ever awarded to a comic strip author. Trudeau was born in New York City in 1948 but grew up in upstate New York, where his family still owns and operates the Trudeau Institute, a medical research facility, on Saranac Lake. While attending Yale, he penned Bull Tales, a comic strip that poked fun at characters he saw around him on campus. Picked up within two years for syndication by Universal Press, the strip was renamed to Doonesbury, and in 1970 it began to run in newspapers across the nation. Trudeau’s love for exposing America’s fallacies, however, has often resulted in censorship by newspaper editors. At times, some papers moved the strip to the editorial pages, some
refused to publish controversial series, and others dropped the strip entirely, often sparking angry demands from readers that the strip be reinstated. Longtime fans have always appreciated Doonesbury’s ability to blend criticism, concern, and humor as Trudeau afforded equal treatment to presidential scandals, the AIDS epidemic, civil rights, abortion, our military, war, and many other topics. Doonesbury is not just a chronicle of the political and social events of its time; it’s also a reflection of how it felt to live through those times. The cast of more than 70 characters, who in 1984 began to age and mature in real time, represent archetypes of their generations: the jock, the everyman, the hippie slacker, the activist, the feminist divorcée, the tech-smart millennial, and more. Trudeau’s extensive work with the U.S. military has earned him high praise and awards from military and veterans’ organizations alike. From donating proceeds from two of his books to the Fisher House, to the creation of an online blog for military members called The Sandbox, he has worked to support our wounded warriors. From time to time, Trudeau has stepped away from Doonesbury to work on a variety of other award-winning projects (please see Beyond the Comics Page for details). In 2012, he became the writer and creator of Amazon.com’s hit political comedy, Alpha House. Trudeau holds a B.A. and an M.F.A. from Yale, honorary degrees from more than 28 other universities and colleges, and has been inducted as a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He currently lives in New York City with his wife, former TODAY co-host Jane Pauley. Together, they have three children.

A Greatly Abridged Guide To Doonesbury Char acter s
Mike Doonesbury | First appearance: October 26, 1970 The strip’s namesake, Mike serves as an everyman for America’s baby boom generation and, over time, became the comic’s resident grown-up, imbued with common sense, groundedness, and evolving political leanings. Trudeau writes, “His main job is to provide contrast, to play magnetic north as everyone around him headed south.” B.D. | First appearance: October 26, 1970 Readers first met B.D., known for his ubiquitous helmet, as the quarterback at Walden College. As Trudeau sent B.D. into the world, he refitted him with new headgear for each new role he played, until Iraq, where a rocket attack removed his leg, and Trudeau, for the first time, removed his helmet. Mark Slackmeyer | First appearance: November 19, 1970 Doonesbury’s third founding character, campus activist Mark “Megaphone” Slackmeyer was the strip’s voice from the left, with B.D. representing the right and Mike the center. A born provocateur, Mark became a D.J. and in 1973 famously declared John Mitchell “Guilty, guilty, guilty!!” Today, he works as an NPR host. Boopsie | First appearance: September 15, 1971 Drawn innocently wide-eyed, Boopsie arrived on the scene as a “naïve, pre-feminist bubblehead.” From cheerleader to actress to Sports Illustrated swimsuit model to New Age channeler, Boobsie has maintained her lack of guile but gained sturdy values and abundant good sense. She is married to B.D., and they have a daughter, Sam. Zonker Harris | First appearance: September 21, 1971 Trudeau calls Zonker “Walden’s resident chillhead” and “perennial manchild.” Ever heedful of John Lennon’s warning that life is what happens to you when you’re busy making other plans, Zonker has been happily stuck in place for nearly 45 years, getting baked and eschewing authority and conformity.

Joanie Caucus | First appearance: September 10, 1972 Although completely fictional, Joanie became a role model in the real world. Her feminist beliefs and drive to complete college and become a lawyer after her divorce wrapped readers up in her cause. Real colleges competed to admit Joanie and a real law firm offered her a job when she graduated. Uncle Duke | First appearance: July 8, 1974 Introduced as a parody of Hunter S. Thompson, Zonker’s “Uncle Duke” is a perpetual poser and schemer, unconstrained by any charade of good behavior. His feckless roles have included U.S. Ambassador to China, manager for the Washington Redskins, Iranian hostage, founder of the Baby Doc College of Offshore Medicine in Haiti, arms smuggler, low-budget orphanage operator, bodyguard to Oliver North, U.S. presidential candidate, Katrina profiteer…
“By the late ’80s, ‘Doonesbury’ had almost forty [characters]. The clutter became challenging for longtime readers, intimidating for latecomers—like opening a Russian novel in the middle.” – Garry Trudeau Roland Burton Hedley, III | First appearance: March 4, 1974 A self-perceived reporter’s reporter, Hedley was loosely based on Sam Donaldson and his bombastic on-air style. His career has taken him from TIME Magazine, where he covered the Vietnam War and the Walden Commune, to ABC News, where he famously explored the brain of Ronald Reagan, to CNN, Fox News, and the Twitterverse. Andy Lippincott | First appearance: January 27, 1976 The first gay character to appear in a comic strip, Andy worked as a political campaign staffer before being diagnosed with AIDS in 1989 and dying in 1990. The storyline raised awareness of the epidemic, earned Trudeau a Pulitzer Prize nomination, and immortalized Andy with a panel created for the AIDS quilt.

Phred | First appearance: February 16, 1972 A happy-go-lucky Viet Cong terrorist, Phred embodied Trudeau’s whimsical, hippie image of a world where everybody could get along if given half a chance, even in the jungles of Vietnam. Phred captured B.D., now wearing a combat helmet, and the two hung out, shared beers, and sang Cole Porter songs.
Lacey Davenport | First appearance: May 15, 1974 Whether it was for her elegance, her integrity, or her dedication to civil rights causes, Congresswoman Lacey Davenport was widely believed to be inspired by real-life Republican U.S. Representative Millicent Fenwick. Lacey embodied sensibility and civility, the central traits people crave in their politicians. She passed away in 1998. Alex Doonesbury | First appearance: November 30, 1988 Alex became an unwitting pioneer of reality TV when her birth was broadcast live in 1988. She has since replaced her dad (Mike Doonesbury) as the dominating character of the strip. Through Alex, Trudeau writes, “The strip’s original animating idea—that it’s inherently interesting to watch a generation come of age—repeats itself.” Mel - Melissa Weaver | First appearance: March 26, 2007 As a U.S. Army aviation mechanic, Mel became the victim of command rape. She first appeared in the strip during one of B.D.’s visits to Walter Reed Hospital, where they were both receiving treatment. She later reenlisted and deployed to Afghanistan, but she continues to view the world with distrust. Elias | First appearance: December 14, 2005 After B.D. lost his leg in Iraq, Trudeau researched the path to recovery for wounded warriors and created Elias, a Vietnam veteran, amputee, and Vet Center counselor. Working with the wounded B.D., Elias doesn’t promise him a return to the life he once had but simply shows him the way forward.
“Without [the established characters], ‘Doonesbury’ would flap around, unfocused and flimsy. Mike and B.D. and Joanie and their long histories give the strip ballast, a sense of cumulative weight and purpose. When I return to them, it’s not out of laziness or habit—I’m simply reconnecting with my roots. Respect must be paid to the founding dudes.” – Garry Trudeau

Jimmy Thudpucker | First appearance: September 23, 1975 Another fictional Doonesbury character who crossed over into the real world, pop star Jimmy Thudpucker was twice featured on the cover of Rolling Stone and was invited to participate in the “We Are The World” session with his musical peers. After a career decline, he turned to recording and selling ringtones.

While best known for the Doonesbury strip, Garry Trudeau has created a variety of other award-winning works throughout his career, spanning Broadway, television, and the Internet. He began by adapting Doonesbury into an animated film for NBC-TV in 1997 and a Broadway musical in 1983 (both versions were nominated for awards). Since then, all of Trudeau’s other work has concentrated on politics. In 1984, Trudeau worked on a second collaboration with Elizabeth Swados (the first was Doonesbury on Broadway) for Rap Master Ronnie, a satirical off-Broadway production about the Reagan Administration. Cinemax premiered a filmed version featuring Jim Morris and Carol Kane in 1988. Also in 1988, Trudeau and director Robert Altman wrote and co-produced HBO’s critically acclaimed Tanner ’88, a political mockumentary series leading up to that year’s presidential election. The groundbreaking series featured a fictional presidential candidate rubbing elbows with the real-life primary candidates, causing the satire and its object to become indistinguishable. The show received nominations for an Emmy and four ACE awards, and it won the gold medal for Best Television Series at the Cannes Television Festival. Trudeau reunited with Altman in
2004 for a sequel series, Tanner on Tanner, that aired on the Sundance Channel. In February 2000, Trudeau brought his work online with the launch of Duke2000, a presidential campaign and website that featured a real-time, 3-D, streaming animation of the Doonesbury character. Reform Party candidate Ambassador Duke was interviewed live by satellite on Larry King Live, TODAY, The Charlie Rose Show, and 60 other real TV news programs. Trudeau’s latest venture, Amazon.com’s Alpha House, released its second season in November 2014. Loosely based on a real Washington D.C. row house where Representatives George Miller and Bill Delahunt and Senators Richard J. Durbin and Charles E. Schumer lived together, the show follows four fictional Republican senators who share a house and spend 90% of their time working to get re-elected. Echoing the fiction-meets-real-life scenarios of Trudeau’s earlier work, the show stars John Goodman, Matt Mallory, and Cynthia Nixon, while featuring cameos from real-life politicians, including Senators John McCain and Elizabeth Warren. John Goodman and the show have been nominated for multiple ASC and Satellite Awards in 2013 and 2014.

For almost 45 years, Doonesbury has helped steer the national conversation—by commenting on it, provoking it, and sometimes being the subject of it. Even as newspaper readership has declined, Doonesbury has continued to be able to spark conversation and controversy. A few of the more notable occurrences in the strip’s history follow. May 29, 1973 In the first Doonesbury strip to be dropped from several newspapers, character Mark Slackmeyer declared Nixon Administration Attorney General John Mitchell “Guilty, guilty, guilty!!” of Watergate crimes. The Washington Post wrote that “if anyone is going to find any defendant guilty, it’s going to be the due process of justice, not a comic strip artist.” The paper finally published the strip in April 2014—41 years later. Trudeau’s strips about Watergate earned him the 1975 Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning. November 13, 1976 When Trudeau created a strip showing then-unmarried Joanie and Rick in bed together, 30 papers dropped the strip for indecency. Picketers outside the Boston Globe held signs that read “Joanie, we forgive you.” October 27, 1980 Garry Trudeau spent considerable time in the 1980s satirizing Ronald Reagan as candidate and president, starting with a week-long sequence called “The Mysterious World of Reagan’s Brain,” which led up to the 1980 presidential election. More than two dozen papers dropped the series. May 26, 2006 When Alex Doonesbury was deciding whether to attend Cornell, MIT, or Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Trudeau invited readers to vote for her choice via a special online straw poll. Due to “insane, rampant, ingenious, and impressively ruthless” voting hacks, MIT won with 48% of the vote. March 12, 2012 A week of strips about Texas’s mandatory vaginal sonogram bill was bounced from some 70 newspapers across the country, more than in any other controversy in the strip’s history. The censorship backfired when TV news anchors called more attention to the strip by discussing it on air.

Proud to Support The Richmond Forum
Doonesbury premiered during the height of U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War, and Trudeau has since admitted that the image he created of the war when he was a 21-year-old “hippie college student” had nothing to do with the reality faced by American GIs on the ground. With maturity came a greater understanding of his responsibility to get the details right, for both his readers at home and the soldiers at war who follow Doonesbury in Stars and Stripes. During the first Gulf War, Trudeau embedded with a tank brigade in Kuwait and began a lasting relationship with the U.S. Armed Forces and Department of Defense. Shortly after B.D. became the victim of a rocket attack in Fallujah during the second Iraq War, Trudeau was contacted by the Pentagon, which offered assistance to help him understand the journey of recovery and managing loss that wounded warriors endure. His introduction to real veterans and staff at Walter Reed Hospital resulted in a sustained series of more than 220 strips devoted to B.D.’s story. Trudeau later compiled these strips into two books and donated the proceeds to the Fisher House, a real-life home away from home for wounded vets and
their families. Senator John McCain wrote the forward for one of them, The Long Road Home: One Step at a Time, saying “…will make you laugh, reflect, and—in the end—understand.” Trudeau continued to visit Walter Reed regularly, researching Military Sexual Trauma (MST), and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), and writing both of these agonizing experiences into the strip through Mel and Toggle’s storylines. Elias emerged in 2007 as the embodiment of counselors who help soldiers move forward with their lives. In 2006, Trudeau created a military blog called The Sandbox, an online forum open to all military personnel who served in Iraq and Afganistan. Open until 2014, it featured posts that focused on everyday military life, with stories ranging from triumphant to emotionally wrenching. Trudeau has been presented with the Commander’s Award for Public Service by the Department of the Army, the Commander’s Award from the Disabled American Veterans, the President’s Award for Excellence in the Arts from the Vietnam Veterans of America, the Distinguished Public Service Award from the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, and a special citation from the Vet Centers.

student programs
Forum Programs Will Reach Exposing the region’s high school students to our programs and speakers is integral to fulfilling the mission of The Richmond Forum. Thanks to the generous support of our sponsors and subscriber support of the Ralph Krueger Memorial Fund (created to honor the memory of the founder of The Richmond Forum), we are pleased to report that our programs will reach a record 1,450 students this season. Please take a moment to learn about the many ways that we include students.
Sponsored Student Seats
Thanks to generous individual donors, municipal support, and the Krueger Fund, a total of 345 students from across the region will sit around you in the theater this season. This includes 18 students at each program who attend the full Forum evening, including our sponsor dinner and receptions with our speakers. This opportunity is made possible by a new grant this season from the Krueger Fund and a long-running grant from Dr. and Mrs. W. Baxter Perkinson, Jr., now in their thirteenth year of supporting student attendance. In addition, The Forum has allocated 51 seats at each program for the use of Chesterfield, Henrico, and City of Richmond students. Student Page Program
Each year, honor roll students from Trinity Episcopal School apply to serve as Richmond Forum Pages. This year, 48 students were selected for this program. Pages arrive early at the theater to insert question sheets in program books, assist with seating when the doors open, and collect your questions during intermission. Student Viewing Room
Now in its sixth season, the Student Viewing Room affords a remarkable opportunity for a total of 500 students from the region’s public and private schools to attend this season’s sold-out programs and interact directly with our speakers. Groups are selected based on the alignment of their areas of study with the evening’s speaker or topic. Support from the Krueger Fund and the Wells Fargo Foundation covers the cost of the audio and video equipment needed to create this satellite viewing room. Governor’s School Model United Nations
We are very pleased to announce that for the second year our March speaker will address the 550 student delegates representing schools from around the region who will participate in this year’s Governor’s School Model United Nations. Following in the footsteps of Gordon Brown last year, Dr. Ben Bernanke will speak to the students about leading during tumultuous times; he will then respond to their questions.
This year’s Richmond Forum Scholars: Reshini Premaratne and Zoe Nelson, Maggie L. Walker Governor’s School; Dylan Lackey, James River High School; Logan Brown, J.R. Tucker High School; and McKenna Brady, James River High School Richmond Forum Scholars
At The Forum Office
After a very successful program launch last year, we’re pleased to have five new Richmond Forum Scholars working behind the scenes at each program this season. Our new Scholars were chosen from a large pool of the region’s highest-achieving and most impressive high school juniors; they submitted applications, essays, letters of recommendation, and participated in in-person interviews as part of the selection process last fall. At each program, our Forum Scholars assist staff by handling duties that include serving as greeters and checking in guests at our sponsor receptions; escorting speakers, moderators, and other VIPs throughout the evening; introducing our speakers to the students in our Student Viewing Room; acting as runners for speakers and staff, and assisting with photo lines after the programs.
Reed Canaan (left) is serving as a Forum intern through the Maggie L. Walker Governor’s School Mentorship Program. Twice a week, Reed assists us in organizing our receptions and dinners, researching content for our program books, and organizing other materials needed for each program. As his International Baccalaureate Leadership Project, Trinity Episcopal School senior Owen Ayers (right) is working with Forum staff this year to help devise additional strategies for engaging the students who attend our programs. Owen was a Richmond Forum Scholar last season and is also assisting in the Student Viewing Room this year.
Thank you!
The generous support of our subscribers and community makes all of these student opportunities possible. To contribute to the Krueger Fund, visit www.richmondforum.org/donate.aspx. To learn more about student opportunities, please contact Dee Raubenstine, dee@richmondforum.org.

Owning evolution. “When you finally take that leap and you have that faith in yourself, when you put that energy out into the universe, I think it works. If you’re ‘Woe is me,’ and you’re waiting around for something to happen, then obviously it won’t. Something I learned from VCU, and just from the culture around here, is to not be afraid — to take a chance and just do it.” – Ed Trask, B.F.A. 1992 Painting and printmaking
