But I'll give Gary Trudeau a prop and a High Five for this one. That is all.... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/02/i_stand_on_the_other_side_of_most_issues.html http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/02/i_stand_on_the_other_side_of_most_issues.html Wed, 01 Feb 2006 16:09:46 -0600 Trudeau's quotidian political observations rankle me a bit, but he's forgiven. He has historically stuck with the troops even when he was sticking it to the Green Machine--some of his Vietnam 'toons were borderline vicious--and he ripped the NLF a new one when Nguyen Van Phred appeared in the strip... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/02/i_stand_on_the_other_side_of_most_issues.html#comment-39990 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/02/i_stand_on_the_other_side_of_most_issues.html#comment-39990 Wed, 01 Feb 2006 22:00:53 -0600 He not only researched - he did it at the source, not second hand.
