Garry Trudeau

Idealistic, controversial and sometimes a bit of a rabble-rouser: this could describe most of Garry Trudeau's characters in his iconic comic strip "Doonesbury" just as easily as it could the man himself. The Pulitzer Prize winning strip became an icon of its era and along the way spun off an animated television special, a Broadway musical and over 60 books, winning praise and censure in equal amounts.
