Readers and critics were wowed by G. B. Trudeau's epic masterpiece 40: A Doonesbury Retrospective, and they'll rejoice when they see this beautiful follow-up volume. Featuring an innovative format and an all-new collection of strips, Red Rascal's War is the first all-color Doonesbury book ever.  Both Trudeau and his fans have followed Doonesbury's ever-expanding cast through four decades of cultural turbulence and change. With its arresting cover and rich interior, Red Rascal's War showcases the most recent additions to a body of work the New York Times admiringly refers to as "a sprawling masterwork." "[Trudeau is] Dickensian in his range of characters," writes Garry Wills in The New York Review of Books. "Trudeau has just kept improving, year after year, in part because he stays so close to changing events. . . . He has never been better than in the last six years." From the exploits of Afghan legend-in-chief Sorkh Razil to the pipe dreams of Malibu's top nanny Zonker Harris, and from the "no more chill pills" intervention by Obama's aides to the way-cool love of a headbanging war vet and his MIT-grad gal, Doonesbury marches wildly on. "What else is guaranteed to make you think, feel nostalgic, and laugh out loud at least once a page?" --Karen Holt, O Magazine… (meer)

I love our pubic library. Bless them for picking this up. :-)

Excellent as always. Doonesbury is as relevant now as it was in 1970 when Garry Trudeau first put pen to paper. ( )

3.5 stars. Hadn't read any Doonesbury in years; got a lot of chuckles. ( )

A large hardbound collection of Doonesbury strips. We see the early stages of Alex and Leo's relationship, up to the point where Alex starts mapping out a future for her and Leo -- without consulting him first. Jeff begins his CIA career which goes tragicomically wrong, and segues to a new career as the creator of "The Red Rascal", freedom fighter for Afghanistan. The widow Doonesbury joins the Tea Party and burns her Medicare card -- then she burns her hand in the process and has to get it treated, courtesy of Medicare. Melissa Wheeler, the Army helicopter mechanic who is still dealing with issues of sexual predation in the military, is getting her life together and is promoted to Sergeant. Alex graduates from MIT.The Widow Doonesbury passes on, and Duke's company rescues the tyrant Bmzklfrpz (pronounced just the way it's spelled) from his country's revolution. Jeff gets the job, performs it in his inimitable screwup fashion with the "help" of his chosen sidekick Zipper. Just another packed collection of great strips about the denizens of one of my favorite cartoon universes, the world of Doonesbury. ( )

I was reading Doonesbury before I really understood a lot of the material. This is Trudeau's most recent collection and deals with both the classic and next generation of characters. Another interesting aspect of the comic strip is that the author lets his characters age and evolve as time passes instead of leaving them forever static. Never one to shy away from controversy, Trudeau combines current events with the characters' lives in thought provoking ways. Managing to make you see and empathize the character's point of view even if you don't always agree with it. Even after all this time Trudeau's work is still fresh and entertaining. ( )
