Half a Century Later

Hard to believe and certainly not looking their age, BD and Mike Doonesbury are nearing their 50th birthday. As a certain rock and roll band once observed, what a long, strange trip it's been.

Garry Trudeau, father of the pair and actually the whole village that has evolved into Doonesbury, had an extended and thoughtful conversation with the Washington Post about hitting the half-century mark and his strip's evolution from Richard Nixon to President YetiPubes. 

Somewhere, I know, Brian Dowling is smiling.
