DukeWatch: 40 Years Of Doonesbury – the original art from the strip displayed at Blaine Mansion.
Demoralized, the young Trudeau confided his frustrations to his fledgling syndicate's founders, who over drinks comforted their dispirited talent with a simple two-word reassurance about graying publishers and aging, out-of-touch editors:

For the occasional comics reader, the search for a satisfying graphic novel can be frustrating; it's a market that still caters to aficionados. The form can be revelatory — Alison Bechdel's "Fun Home," R. Crumb's "The Book of Genesis Illustrated" and Apostolos Doxiadis and Christos Papadimitriou's "Logicomix" are three stellar recent examples — but too often striking artwork only serves a story line that's callow, listless or heavily borrowed from formulaic Hollywood movies.
