Trudeau was the (only) comic strip artist who listed the names of the Iraq War dead in his strip -- to the righteous indignation of many Neo-Cons, who abstractly lionize the sacrifices of our service members, but would prefer their loss of life to remain anonymous.

Doonesbury has paid its dues, in that and other ways; and Trudeau can do as he likes, with my blessing.

Go Garry!
