I'm not a big fan of Doonesbury, even though I feel a connection to Gary Trudeau, because he was few years ahead of me at the New England prep school we both attended.  His cartoons used to be featured in the school newspaper, and the title of his comic strip derives from school slang in the 60s, in which "doon" was a term roughly equivalent to "dork".

I tend to share Trudeau's political views, but find his expression of them a bit smug, a bit self-righteous.  Too preppy, maybe.  Sometimes, though, he really nails it . . .
