Former Guy: Doonesbury in the Time of Trumpism

"Welcome to volume four of the Doonesbury Trump Quartet. Following up on YUGE!, #SAD, and LEWSER!, bestsellers all, FORMER GUY chronicles the arrival of Mr. Covid, the harrowing 2020 election campaign, and Trump's Big Loss, which birthed this Big Lie, plus a Pretty Good-sized Violent Insurrection. It has remained the Trumpiest of times, and for many of his unvaccinated followers, "owning the libs" has been a cause worth not living for. For everyone else life goes on. Sam graduates from Walden College; B.D. manages to get Hunk-Ra inoculated; Alex, Leo, and the twins welcome baby Rosie; while Mike embraces Grandpahood and the chaos of extended family Zooms. J.J.'s art takes a toxic turn, Rep. Mel Wheeler endures harassment from MTG (I'm creating content."), and the strip celebrates its 50th anniversary with a character-centric "Doonesbury Crossword." Though still squawking about the past, Trump is looking to the future, at least his own, asking such essential questions as "How DO you get blood off your hands?" and "I'd still get Secret Service protection in prison, right?" For answers, keep an eye out for volume five."--page 2 of cover.
