The chronicles of "Doonesbury" creator Garry Trudeau

[@TBINBD]

I’ve been a big fan since the early 70s in high school in NJ. His sense of humor was so up my alley! He’s been such a big part of my life. And then in 2005 I was in a car crash, suffered a TBI and basically had to learn how to talk again. I’d been an Instructional Designer for Fidelity Investments, a very “cognitively sophisticated” career, which ended. I’ve served on the Board of the Brain Injury Association of Massachusetts since 2009, and so some good has come of it. The Toggle character has meant a lot to me. Thank you for this interview, Jane. Reading old and new Doonesbury is a continuing part of my recovery, and I’m grateful to Garry Trudeau.

It’s easy to see how they stayed together. Mom always said meet a guy that makes you laugh. Thanks Gary & Jane.

[@dlgparisi9501]

Great interview 👍, 70, wow doesn't seem possible....thanks Gary and Jane.

[@jacquelinenguyen759]

What a great husband-wife team you guys are!

[@jonsmtrs]

They look so happy together ❤!

[@normantrombon]

I used to love it when Jane went on Letterman’s program, and he’d refer to Trudeau as ‘cartoon boy’!

[@timheidel5849]

it was even funnier when Jane would respond with: "Hey, Mr. MeToo, how are those sexual harassment lawsuits going with all of your interns?"

[@kevinherd3437]

He's a legend and his strip has always been on the edge of counter culture and political relativity.

[@fredhoy6697]

Congratulations Garry and Jane. You look like a very comfortable couple.

[@danaschoen432]

Who would have thunk it? Jane Pauley and Gary Trudeau. AMAZING! By the way, congratulations on such a long run, the both of you!

[@pmkleinp]

Yeah, I've been reading Doonesbury since I was a kid and have known about Jane Pauley equally as long. Never had a clue that they were married to each other.

[@lorrie2878]

@@pmkleinp me either. Glad I'm not the only one.

[@gardensofthegods]

I knew years ago they were married but I actually had heard they were divorced ... and always felt so bad for her , and I was thinking he was a creep . It looks like they've had a good marriage and I'm glad for them both

[@christianbrother4724]

Looks great for 70.

I know right! He looks 20 years younger!

Never knew they were married! Cute couple! Awesome interview

[@gentleraine480]

Perfect fit! Love them both!!💞

[@michaeltondi8528]

I hope I look half as good at 70.

[@utubefreshie]

I guess that's the blessing of loving what you're doing for work everyday of your life.

[@jws1948ja]

I love them both.

[@brainsareus]

It seems to have worked out... how sweet.

[@Janice-sb7qw]

Sweet couple. Thank you!

[@racourdav]

Nice looking couple , he looks great, and he’s 70? Jane is aging well also...

[@gardensofthegods]

Supposedly she is 69 years old and that is almost impossible to believe .... if she has had work done it looks really natural . She looks much better than a lot of women who are around 50 years old

[@PlasmaCoolantLeak]

I was first introduced to "Doonesbury" by my first love's mom in the late 70s. Still a fan.

[@easterlywesterly9304]

Liar.

[@GammaNu955]

That is actually Awesome. Good karma for both. Nice job Jane.

[@jenhasken]

My goodness he’s a handsome 70 year old. And what a wonderful strip.

A journalist marries a cartoonist? Do you think this marriage will last? .........Just kidding you guys are great!!!!

[@elainesmith7512]

Wow!! It's really hard to believe it has been 50 years since "Doonesbury" was first published. Btw, Gary and Jane are such a gorgeous "older" couple.

[@homersimpin664]

so creeeeeepy

[@lorrie2878]

What a lovely interview. I didn't even know they were married. I have watched jane Pauley on and off for 40 years. I remember when she cut off her amazing hair. Sorry to be shallow, but I do remember that.

[@JS-yj7ow]

Do ones bury (ok, I just had to leave that auto-check)... Doonesbury (with a close nod to bloom county and far side) is the only “comic” I’ve ever perpetually and religiously read. I can only rue that Gary is only publishing new strips on Sundays during this tragicomic administration... And a surprisingly, no enjoyable, interview between clearly loving spouses.

[@amandahuginkiss8561]

[@drewhendley]

Doonesbury is a cool name and that’s about it

[@timheidel5849]

it's "cool" to say you like Doonesbury...but Trudeau just comes off as arrogant and elitist...

His strip has been around for a veritable 50 years, and not once has it ever been funny or clever.

@@costamesa7564 I do. And apparently he has a lot of fans. Otherwise he would not have lasted 50+ years.

[@costamesa7564]

@@DCGuy1997 No, these syndicated comics drag on for decades with an ever-dwindling fan base. Doonesbury is funny the same way the comedian Amy Schumer is "funny." The lame punchlines are always dry brittle attempts at snark, which desperately try to be avant-garde but go nowhere... reflecting nothing except Trudeau's autism... they get old.

@Tim Heidel ...you couldn’t write or draw your way out of a paper bag, could you?

[@timheidel5849]

This was a repeat of a segment that has aired previously. CBS Sunday Morning seems to do this a lot. Can't they come up with better stuff than re-runs and promoting CBS programming and talking about CBS alumni and memories of old CBS Sunday Morning Shows? Gary T. seems like a nice guy but I have never understood what the big deal was with Doonesbury. The cartoon just seemed to be a Conservative-bash-fest. And Jane Pauley has just gotten lazy...interviewing your husband? Really? She just seems to be coasting to retirement. I have never understood how Jane Pauley is held out as some big "talent". Seems like a nice lady but if she never did another TV job, would anyone notice?

[@jkbjkb8899]

You are an imbecile. Her work on the Today show was remarkable. Her work at CBS, the first woman to host CBS Sunday Morning ever - revolutionary. Actually watch the program on TV. It is wonderful. Lazy people watch clips on KZbin & gripe about things. Get a life

@@jkbjkb8899 I have been watching CBS Sunday Morning "on TV" since it first aired in 1979...and there is nothing "remarkable" or "revolutionary" about Jane Pauley.
