This strip uses hilarity to ease the harsh blows in politics and has won an award before.
    
The strip's author is particularly interested in the soldiers that are currently fighting in [[Iraq]], and the strip generated a great deal of controversy when B.D., one of the main characters, lost a leg at [[Fallujah]]. Doonesbury went on to chronicle B.D.'s recovery process, and the strip's portrayal of the challenges faced by wounded veterans earned Trudeau - a strong critic of the politicians who started the war - The [[United States Army]]'s Commander's Award for Public Service.
