What I liked best about Doonesbury was his ability to show current events with a special humorous bent to make us either recognize them, or at least be amused by them. G.B. also had (has?) the ability to make us laugh while outraging us (the famous "In Search of Reagan's Brain" or "Guilty, Guilty, Guilty" series). Since he has come back he doesn't seems to have been able to quite get it together. I am not saying that I haven't been enjoying it, indeed there have been some wonderful lines, but the long stories seem incomplete. I am asuming that he is dividing his time between fathering and cartooning but this too will pass. One good Doonesbury (of which I think we have had several since its return) is worth 10,000 terrible Cathy's (of which we have had at least 10,000 since it started). "I'm Clyde, what's for dinner?"
