Day One Dictator: The Fifth Volume of Doonesbury in the Age of Trumpism!

Garry Trudeau’s legendary Doonesbury series returns with its fifth Trump-era volume, Day One Dictator: More Doonesbury in the Time of Trumpism. As the “Big Lie” continues to spread and Trump’s ever-changing court dates dominate the headlines, his former aides and allies take the stand against him. But somehow, his supporters still see this as a Democratic conspiracy. With his signature wit and sharp satire, Trudeau captures the absurdity of it all.

A Dark Comedy on Trumpism

This volume doesn’t just dive into political chaos—it also invites readers to play Donald Trump’s Spree, a board game where the only way to win is by cheating. But no worries—that’s been normalized by now!

Of course, Doonesbury is more than just Trump. Alex and Toggle juggle life with three free-range kids, while Mike enjoys his new role as a doting grandfather. Mr. Covid takes a proud retirement, knowing his more adaptable variants will keep fighting the unvaccinated. Meanwhile, Joanie and Rick discuss AI’s impact on journalism—especially after Rick discovers his best-written piece wasn’t his, but ChatGPT’s. And over in Ukraine, Roland and Rascal stumble into the crumbling remains of the Metaverse, proving that even fantasy no longer makes sense.

📖 Day One Dictator is now available in paperback with flaps, featuring 128 full-color pages in an 8.6 x 9-inch format. A must-have for Doonesbury fans!
