“Zonk, because you don’t age…”
Filed below Stuff I By no means Knew/Realized.
Although G. B. Trudeau did speak concerning the evergreen
Doonesbury character in an interview early this year:
Whereas Joanie Caucus has aged visually as she went from being a mother to grandmother within the strip, Zonker Harris doesn’t look a day older than he did when he confirmed up in B.D.’s soccer huddle in September 1971.
“I might say that Zonker might be the Snoopy of Doonesbury,” Trudeau says. “I don’t draw him any otherwise, haven’t given him any grey hair. I enable him to be sort of perpetually younger, though he has change into somewhat bit extra accountable now that he’s operating a enterprise.”

Why hasn’t GoComics, which runs all of Creators Syndicate‘s first run comedian strips,
added Andy Marlette‘s new Shrimp & Grits to their lineup?
(Arcamax carries the Creators strips that GoComics doesn’t.)

Strip Scene, of the late ’70s and early ’80s, was maybe the most effective caricature fanzine ever;
