Started by Garry Trudeau, while a Yale undergraduate in the late 1960s, this comic strip gained wide syndication and notoriety in the early 1970s as a vehicle for political satire which was set in the lives of a group of college students. The Watergate scandal provided fodder for some of the strip’s most outrageous and insightful segments—a handful of which prompted newspapers to either relocate the strip from the comics page to the editorial page or to remove it entirely In 1975, Trudeau won the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning, thus becoming the first four-panel comic-strip cartoonist to win the award.
