Free Yuge!: 30 Years Of Doonesbury On Trump Ebooks Online
“Doonesbury is one of the most overrated strips out there. Mediocre at best.” --Donald Trump, 1989He tried to warn us. Ever since the release of the first Trump-for-President trial balloon in 1987, Doonesbury’s Garry Trudeau has tirelessly tracked and highlighted the unsavory career of the most unqualified candidate to ever aspire to the White House. It’s all there--the hilarious narcissism, the schoolyard bullying, the loathsome misogyny, the breathtaking ignorance; and a good portion of the Doonesbury cast has been tangled up in it. Join Duke, Honey, Earl, J.J., Mike, Mark, Roland, Boopsie, B.D., Sal, Alice, Elmont, Sid, Zonker, Sam, Bernie, Rev. Sloan, and even the Red Rascal as they cross storylines with the big, orange airhorn who’s giving the GOP such fits. Garry Trudeau is the “sleazeball” “third-rate talent” who draws the “overrated” comic strip Doonesbury, which “very few people read.” He lives in New York City with his wife Jane Pauley, who “has far more talent than he has."

Sometimes we forget just how long Donald Trump has been running for President . He first admitted thinking about it in 1987. But Garry Trudeau has been featuring him his "Doonesbury" comic for at least 30 years. He's never been one of the main characters but has often been an adjunct character; the others play off him and the aura he gives off. Trudeau began featuring him with the brown hair, but in recent years, the coif has been orange and has become more exaggerated. He's also been written with an "edge" and an air of venality, seemingly absent from the other characters.Garry Trudeau has published a new book, "Yuge!", repeating the strips featuring Donald Trump. It's being released at a good time. Trudeau began "covering" Donald Trump in the late 1980's when he was prominent developer in New York City...and Garry Trudeau was a prominent cartoonist. Trudeau began adding Trump in the late 1980's and he was included in stories with other characters like Duke, Honey, BD, and Boopsie. Trump did not like being mocked in print and said so, loudly. Trudeau continued to use Donald Trump as a character, much to Trump's annoyance. Trump tossed slams at Garry Trudeau and Graydon Carter of "Spy Magazine" in interviews. Later, "tweets" became Trump's means of fighting back at people he considered "unfair" to him.Trudeau begins with Trump talking about entering the 1988 Republican contest and then skips ahead to the 2000 when he wants to run for the Reform Party nomination. Whether you're a supporter - or not - of Trump, the "Doonesbury" comics are a searing reminder of just who Donald Trump is. They should be read by everyone voting in November.
UN-believable. You'll read a strip from 30 years ago and think it was from yesterday. Trudeau absolutely blasts this egocentric, shallow con man. My favorite line I read recently was "I love my country more than I hate Hillary Clinton." And I could not agree more. This man is the devil and Trudeau showed his cloven hooves and shallow me-first attitude decades ago.Inheriting money from your dad does not make you a good businessman or negotiator. Wake up!
I spent an entire afternoon laughing and enjoying Yuge. It's crazy to see how much he has NOT changed since the 1980's. GBT is like a soothsayer, alluding to Trump's presidential and reality TV show ambitions decades before they happened.
I found myself laughing out loud. Trudeau was on to Trump over 25 years ago, and it is mind-boggling how spot-on Trudeau's depictions were then and how they resonate today. The Donald Trump of 1988 and thereabouts is the Donald Trump of today. The guys at Spy Magazine -- Grayson Carter and his cohorts -- have solicited and received a lot of ink about calling Trump a "short-fingered vulgarian," but Trudeau was far more cutting and prescient in understanding and explaining the true Trump. This work is a useful, I would venture to say a must-read, reminder that The Donald is who he has always been.
This book is so funny and well written. I love that this artist has been doing these comics for decades and now I have the full collection. He is so talented and now I can see all of "The Donald's" foolish or just plain terrible comments and actions in comic form from all the decades!! I would highly recommend this book!! (It is even better in full color! e.i. Kindle Fire, iPad, Google Table Etc.) Great fun!!! Satire at its Best!
Ever since G.B. Trudeau published "Guilty,Guilty,Guilty" back when Richard Nixon was President. He has always been able to show the American People what each candidate is really all about. This book carries on that tradition.
I enjoyed all the reviews, but find myself a wee tiny bit concerned by yjr tone of not taking D.T's candidacy more seriously. The man is not an egotist - he is a narcissist - maybe pathologically so. His narcissism is yuuuuge! and I am amazed that I've not seen him called this by any of the media. The only thing that the D.T. wants is to be The Center of The Universe. Nothing else matters to him. Can we afford this kind of imbalance as Commander in Chief?I understand, I SHARE the fear, the anger, the frustration of his supporters. Congress has not done its work for the citizens of this country for at least a decade. But to allow a person in the White House who is unable to see past his own needs frightens me. If we elect him, we will not be able to "Make America Great" quite a long while.In the meantime, I will enjoy Trudeau's new book
Original July 31, 2016 - Good collection, but hard to read on Kindle Fire, Kindle App, or Kindle Cloud reader. Get the the hard copy.Aug 7, 2016 update - Tried Comixology app and website thanks to comment from Salvatore. It is a separate login and download Kindle, but was free with login and was a far superior experience with better rendering and easier navigation. Raising rating from three stars to four stars. Thanks Salvatore.
