What are you talking about? Doonesbury has been a proudly, and heavily, political comic since the 1960s.
- parrellel 4y agoHe's confusing it with Bloom County, prolly.
- danaris 4y agoBloom County? The comic that was pretty openly political back in 1983? Sure, there were stretches of time where it didn't address anything particularly politics-related, but to suggest that it was not political seems to quite spectacularly miss the point.
- parrellel 4y agoAh, but it was funny!
- bena 4y agoThis is akin to complaining about Rage Against the Machine getting political
- mmmpop 4y ago> What the Hell Is Up with Dilbert? What are you talking about? The OP made it clear that it was once funny and then it devolved into partisan preaching that lacked humor entirely. Never once did OP claim it wasn't political in the first place, why would you assume that?

- prepend 4y agoI started reading doonesbury in the 80s just because it was on the comics page. I never found it funny and didn’t get it. I’ve heard people describe that it was once funny way back in the day but was never able to confirm it.
