Garry Trudeau

thumb|Garry Trudeau in 2012 Garretson Beekman Trudeau (born July 21, 1948) is an American cartoonist, best known for the Doonesbury comic strip. Quotes I had more flow as a designer. I could just drop down into the zone and stay there for hours. With cartooning, I'm constantly coming up for air, procrastinating, looking for reasons not to be doing it. I spend all day granting myself special dispensation, with 'creative process' as my cover story. Carpenters and deli countermen can't do that, so I think they may feel better about themselves at the end of the day.

Reported in Kerry Soper, Garry Trudeau: Doonesbury and the Aesthetics of Satire'' (2008), p. 50. Quotes about Trudeau I, for one, think good political cartoons retain their value for decades. You can learn a lot from those old "Doonesbury" books. Jen Sorensen, Slowpoke: One Nation, Oh My God!
