Cartoonist/author Garry Trudeau has been on the front line of incisive political commentary ever since his Doonesbury strip debuted in 1970. Since then, he has taken on hot-button issues like abortion rights and lampooned mighty figures, Reagans, Bushes . . . and Donald Trump.

By 1987, Trudeau, already lambasting Trump, was telling audiences Trump would run for president someday. In 1989, Trump said this: "Doonesbury is one of the most overrated strips out there, mediocre at best."

The Republican nominee for president is the subject of Trudeau's new collection, Yuge!: 30 Years of Doonesbury on Trump. Trudeau, 68, will be at the Rittenhouse Square Barnes & Noble on Monday - the first day of the DNC. He spoke to The Inquirer the day before his arrival.

Well, dadburnit! Now I agree with Trump on something.
