    I vaguely remember that foxtrot arc. I'd be more I terest in Doonsbury cause it's an insight into a very specific kind of lib that I bet going through the whole run would actually yield some interes insight.

    I never cared for Dilbert even prior to it turning out Scott Adam's is a chud. Never worked in an office

      Doonesbury would probably be interesting to read through, I just don't remember much of it.

      Yeah I didn't care about Dilbert, but I could believe that it bore some relationship to reality as I might one day live it. Unlike Family Circus or whatever.

        Actually I had a game in school where I'd click random page on wikiquote grab the first quote off the page and replace the caption of a random Famil Circus comic. Got some neat stuff

          I just remembered the name of the other politics based comic I was thinking of, Candorville. Which I remember feeling a lot more radical than Doonesbury, if only by virtue of having multiple black main characters. Now I'm curious to see what they both said in 2020 about BLM.

              Google says that's a type of mattress. Now I'm sad there isn't a podcast breaking down Doonesbury over the years, like a couple months at a time, because that would be exactly the kind of shit I'd listen to. I'm reading some of the controversies on wikipedia and it's fascinating.
