DOONESBURY VS. THE BLOGS? Based on today’s cartoon, it seems likely. Well, no surprise: blogs are good at puncturing pretension. Kind of like Doonesbury used to be.

UPDATE: Daniel Drezner weighs in on Trudeau, with a very amusing quote.

My own feeling is that Doonesbury just isn’t funny that often any more. I think it was never as good after he took the year off, and nowadays it’s all too often formulaic. It makes me respect Berke Breathed, Gary Larson, et al., for quitting while they were ahead, much as I miss their strips.
