Garry Trudeau's "Dewey" moment

It was such a busy week that it wasn't until my Saturday morning breakfast with my wife Jackie that I learned that the San Antonio Express News wasn't the only paper to not run this week's Doonesbury strip.  So, taking a few moments to look at the Google news archives, I found a couple of articles from other major newspapers concerning their decision not to run this week's strip.  My favorite?  Why it was the one from the Chicago Tribune comparing the strip to their 1948 headline:  "Dewey defeats Truman!."  Except, Garry Trudeau the genius behind the Doonesbury comic strip, got his prediction right.

Found, the Doonesbury comic strip

After having to go to the official Doonesbury comic web site because my newspaper didn't want to run the strips on the military and the election, I found my favorite comic in the Austin American Statesman in its normal spot -- the comic section.   As I am away on business in Austin, I don't know if my local paper, the San Antonio Express News is still running old strips.   I would guess that they are still running the tired old Zonker calorie comics.
