Betmatrho has it wrong. Obama's first name isn't derived from Hebrew (lightning) but from Arabic, meaning 'blessed'. The Hebrew cognate would be Baruch.

Maybe, "There Is No Joy" is some dog-whistle shorthand for Obama, like did he once say something that could be misquoted and misconstrued as saying that America has no joy or something? So, "There Is No Joy" is in Mudville?

doc c, i'm not sure abt the chronology or whatevs, and like you, wld v much like to read a behind-the-scenes bk abt doonesbury - was just trying to suggest that it's not entirely fair to compare these talentless goons w/ trudeau if only because the poor saps obv can't afford to 'outsource' their work

xxxpost No, I'll totally concede that. Just, I mean, practice usually makes some kind of difference in this stuff. Thinking also of like, the PVP or Penny Arcade artists, who have gone through a ton of experimentation and tweaking in their style over the same span of time. Actually think both got kind of over-stylized after a certain point but you at least get the sense of people trying hard to improve their techniques. Also speaking as a guy who used to draw a lot of comics purely as a hobby, fell out of it years ago but part of the satisfaction really was looking back over a few years of work and being like, shit, I used to draw like that? Not that I ever necessarily got even as "good" as DBD guy but, y'know.

Wow, had no idea that Trudeau had collaborators. Kind of mindblown at the moment. I mean, I know that a bunch cartoonists have them -- does Mort Walker even read Beetle Bailey anymore? -- but assumed Trudeau was a one-man show.

According to Wiki: Doonesbury is written and pencilled by Garry Trudeau, then inked and lettered by his assistant Don Carlton.
I think there have been other assistants, too, and I wonder how 'complete' Trudeau's pencils are
By and large, most American newspaper strip artists have had assistants - producing a daily comic strip is sheer hard work! Schulz is the most famous exception to this

I don't think Scott Adams gets any help. Then again Dilbert doesn't seem awfully hard to make!

Watterson was proudly assistant-free, and took a thinly-veiled dig at Walker, something like "the assistants do all the work, and the person taking the credit is on the golf course."

Berke Breathed presumably assisted by mountains of coke
Breathed used to send his boards via air to the publishing company because he would work so close to deadline and miss the mailing date.
And sometimes, he'd even finish them up on the plane.

was about to mention Bill Watterson too, especially since his strip was arguably the one with the most attention to detail (and the best writing by far)
