Raised in Saranac Lake, Trudeau attended [[St. Paul's School (Concord, New Hampshire)|St. Paul's School]] in Concord, New Hampshire. He enrolled in [[Yale University]] in 1966. As an art major, Trudeau initially focused on painting, but soon discovered a greater interest in the [[graphic arts]]. He spent much of his time cartooning and writing for Yale's [[humor magazine]] ''[[The Yale Record]]'',<ref>Trudeau, Garry (November 1968). Cover Illustration. ''The Yale Record''. New Haven, CT.</ref> eventually serving as the magazine's editor-in-chief. At the same time, Trudeau began contributing to the ''[[Yale Daily News]]'', which eventually led to the creation of ''Bull Tales'', a comic strip parodying the exploits of Yale quarterback [[Brian Dowling (American football)|Brian Dowling]]. This strip was the progenitor of ''Doonesbury''.<ref name=Rose>{{YouTube|VKC47mTaMoc|Charlie Rose – Garry Trudeau}}, ''Charlie Rose'' October 11, 2004, uploaded on August 27, 2007, on YouTube</ref>
