    About this ebook

    From the Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist whose acclaimed Yuge!: 30 Years of Doonesbury on Trump blew up the bestseller list, comes the sequel millions prayed would be unnecessary. #SAD!: Doonesbury in the Time of Trump tracks the shocking victory, the inept transition, and the tumultuous eternity of POTUS’s First 500 Days.

    Citizens who rise every morning in dread, braced for disruptive, Randomly Capitalized, atrociously grammarized, horrably speld, toxic tweeting from the Oval Office, can curl up at night with this clarifying collection of hot takes on the First Sociopath, his enablers, and their appalling legacy. Whether resisting or just persisting, readers will find G.B. Trudeau’s cartoons are just the thing to ease the pain of remorse (“Could I have done more to prevent this?”) and give them a shot at a few hours of unfitful sleep.

    There are worse things to spend your tax cut on.

      You'd expect Trudeau to have a heyday under the Trump presidency, but this is a pretty standard collection of color Doonesbury Sunday strips. Published between June 2016 and May 2018, most of the original regular characters are still here, showing their age and sharing the stage with the next generation.If you've enjoyed Doonesbury in the past and want to revel in anti-Trump outrage, you'll probably get a kick out of this new book.

      #SAD is a momentarily fun book to read though it is completely forgetable once it is over. Gary Trudeau takes the insane and dangerous narratives, tropes and moments from Trump's presidency and inflates them in ways that seem fairly standard and, frankly, sometimes boring. I know he is trying to be witty and insicive but it just didnt have any appeal to me. I usually love Gary Trudeau's work so this was very suprising but thankfully, I have his cartoon to read every Sunday morning.

      #SAD! from the sharp mind of G.B. Trudeau is an accurate portrayal of the insanity that is this illegitimate administration. There has been a common comment ever since he took office that reality is so surreal that it is hard to write satire because the actual events are mind-boggling in themselves. Trudeau both illustrates this and uses it to his advantage. With almost every other figure he had to paraphrase what was said to subtract the subterfuge and leave the chilling core of what figures mean with what they say. Trump is too stupid to use subterfuge and he does not have enough command of the English language to weave a complex web of plausible alternatives. So, true to the common comment, Trudeau often uses Trump's own words to make it absolutely clear to any rational mind that Trump is both imbecilic and dangerous. Of course, one problem with this is that most of Trump's comments, can't really call them sentences, he hasn't advanced that far in his language skills, are gibberish. So his quotes work best in the strips where his childish narcissism is highlighted. Other figures in the regime have to be used to actually express policy comments since Trump doesn't know or understand anything.I would highly recommend this to any fan of Trudeau and Doonesbury as well as anyone who needs a laugh while waiting for him and his moronic followers to destroy the world. If you're not a fan of Doonesbury and are one of Trump's moronic followers, well, you may not like this and will overlook the use of Trump's own words and call this slanderous. Poor things, just keep your guns pointed at yourselves.Reviewed from a copy made available by the publisher via NetGalley.

      G.B. Trudeau is back to reflect on Donald Trump's first 500 days in office. Some of the satire will make you laugh, some will make you cry but it is also guaranteed to leave you shaking your head. This book is a take on how ordinary Americans are coping with the unpredictable POTUS. Emotions abound, be it desperation, worried anticipation of what will come next, shock at what used to be unthinkable, fear of the future and out-and-out laughter because sometimes laughter is all that prevents tears of discouragement. Take a peek in Doonesbury and see how ordinary citizens are adapting to the unadaptable. You will be rewarded with HUGE belly-laughs. Thank you to Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley for an e-ARC of #SAD! Doonesbury in the Time of Trump by G.B. Trudeau in exchange for an honest review.

      This was a fun trip down memory lane during the Trump years. Trudeau is a master of this format. I simply loved this book which provided me a number of laughs - something we all need more of!
