Join the Yale Club of Boston and Harvard Club of Boston for a lively and insightful conversation celebrating Trudeau + Doonesbury: The Cartoonist Who Turned The News Into Art, a compelling new look at the life and legacy of Garry Trudeau and his groundbreaking comic strip, Doonesbury. Drawing on newly uncovered archival materials and in-depth interviews with Trudeau, fellow cartoonists, journalists, and even political figures who found themselves lampooned in the strip, this book offers a rich and entertaining journey through more than half a century of American culture and politics.

For over 50 years, Doonesbury has shaped and reflected the national conversation with humor, intelligence, and sharp social commentary—earning distinction as the first comic strip to win a Pulitzer Prize. As its characters evolved alongside their creator, the strip became a defining chronicle of the Baby Boomer generation and beyond.

Author Joshua C. Kendall will lead the discussion, bringing his acclaimed biographical insight and engaging storytelling style to the conversation. Don’t miss this opportunity to explore the intersection of art, satire, and history through one of America’s most influential cultural works.

Tickets are $10 per person (before Eventbrite fees) for dues-paying members of the Yale Club of Boston and $15 (before Eventbrite fees) for non-members. Appetizers will be served, and a cash bar will be available. Books will also be available for purchase at the event.
