Garry Trudeau started cartooning in the 1960s as a counterculture figure at Yale. We now know that many people involved in the Counterculture did not advocate for greater freedom of human beings or the advancement of the American People. They were there to mock and destroy. Their “high ideals” often had a malicious undertone.

Doonesbury, a cartoon strip that began in 1970, played a counter-cultural role for over 1,000 newspapers every day. While newspapers are becoming fossils, cartoons such as Doonesbury continue to live, recycling liberal humor. You’ll find graphic novels in any college library. Yes, cartooning is alive.

In the 1960s it was suspected that the opponents of the Vietnam War and the advocates of “Acid Amnesty and Abortion” (as Democrat Senator Tom Eagleton put it) were motivated less by the principle of withdrawing America from overseas conflicts and acted more out of a strong sympathy for totalitarianism. This is why many people are now interventionists.

They are always ready to use the military-industrial complex as a tool for colonialism. Why not use bombs to secure the world for the rainbow flag and trans rights? Or the sexual revolution that they led? The movie “Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb” was meant to be a mockery of the Right. But today, isn’t it the opposite?

Trudeau let all his emotions out in the weekly Sunday cartoon he produced on March 10. The cartoon’s theme is to work with the FBI to hunt down those who trespassed at the U.S. Capitol in January 2020. Leftists don’t have a lot of self-awareness, so their humor is often as lighthearted as a Siberian Chain Gang.

The cartoon ends with a link to an FBI website that is hunting these Americans. One of the stupidest captions that you’ll ever read says “KIDS!” Want to hunt sedition like me? Ask your civics teacher to give you credit for visiting [the link].

I don’t believe there are many kids under 70 who read Doonesbury. The strip, which is reruns of old cartoons six days a week with one new cartoon every Sunday, barely has any pulse. Charles Schulz, of Peanuts fame, once criticized Trudeau’s minimal work ethic. The Saturday Review of Books, when Trudeau returned from a year-long hiatus in the 1980s, called his strip “predictable and mean-spirited”. There seems to be little change over the years.

His latest rant shows that many of the counterculture creams that rose to prominence in the 1960s continue to turn sour as they age. They were not principled opponents of the FBI or the police state but only green with jealousy.

Overreaching by the police was not bad. Just the wrong people were doing it! These green-eyed creatures wanted to have the power of their own hands, so they could harass, entrap, and persecute their political opponents, without any mercy.

Garry Trudeau could be considered a hero in the left’s culture of snitching. I don’t believe that most Americans would give him any extra credit unless the Left was able to go all Stasi on this.
