Editing Garry Trudeau (section)

== Creative works ==
Soon after ''Bull Tales'' began running in the Yale student newspaper, the strip caught the attention of the newly formed [[Universal Press Syndicate]]. The syndicate's editor, James F. Andrews, recruited Trudeau, changed the strip's name to ''Doonesbury'', and began distributing it following the cartoonist's graduation in 1970. Today ''Doonesbury'' is [[print syndication|syndicated]] to 1,000 daily and Sunday newspapers worldwide and is accessible online in association with ''[[The Washington Post]]''.

In 1975, Trudeau became the first comic strip artist to win a [[Pulitzer Prize|Pulitzer]],<ref name = "pulprize2">{{cite web |url=https://www.pulitzer.org/prize-winners-by-category/215 |publisher=The Pulitzer Prize Organization|title=Pulitzer Award Winners by Category}}</ref> traditionally awarded to editorial-page cartoonists.

In addition to his creating his strip, Trudeau has worked in both theater and television. He was nominated for an Oscar in 1977 in the category of Animated Short Film for ''A Doonesbury Special'', created for NBC in collaboration with [[John Hubley|John]] and [[Faith Hubley]]. The film won the [[Cannes Film Festival]] Jury Prize in 1978. In 1984, with composer [[Elizabeth Swados]], he wrote the book and lyrics for the Broadway musical ''[[Doonesbury]]'', for which he was nominated for two [[Drama Desk Award]]s. A cast album of the show, recorded for MCA, received a Grammy nomination. Trudeau again collaborated with Swados in 1984, this time on ''Rap Master Ronnie'', a satirical revue about the Reagan Administration that opened off-Broadway at the [[Village Gate]]. A filmed version, featuring [[Jon Cryer]], the [[Smothers Brothers]], and [[Carol Kane]], was broadcast on Cinemax in 1988.<ref>{{cite web | title=Television Reviews : Cinemax's Grades Slump With 'Rap Master Ronnie' | website=Los Angeles Times | date=February 12, 1988 | url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1988-02-12-ca-28768-story.html | access-date=July 11, 2021}}</ref>

Also in 1988, Trudeau wrote and co-produced with director [[Robert Altman]] [[Home Box Office|HBO]]'s critically acclaimed ''[[Tanner '88]]'', a satiric look at that year's presidential election campaign. The show won the gold medal for Best Television Series at the Cannes Television Festival, the [[British Academy Television Award]] for Best Foreign Program, and Best Imported Program from the British [[Broadcasting Press Guild]]. It earned an [[Emmy Award]], as well as four [[ACE Award]] nominations. In 2004, Trudeau reunited with Altman to write and co-produce a sequel mini-series, ''[[Tanner on Tanner]]'', for the [[Sundance Channel (United States)|Sundance Channel]].<ref>{{cite web | title=Shrewd 'Tanner' sequel bows on Sundance | website=TODAY.com | date=September 30, 2004 | url=https://www.today.com/popculture/shrewd-tanner-sequel-bows-sundance-wbna6143480 | access-date=July 11, 2021}}</ref>

In 1996, ''Newsweek'' and ''The Washington Post''<ref>{{cite news|last1=Streitfeld|first1=David|title='Anonymous' Undone By His Own Hand?|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1996/07/17/anonymous-undone-by-his-own-hand/1a31ce54-3b04-4c43-8d00-91defe1e9826/|newspaper=[[The Washington Post]]|access-date=October 31, 2017}}</ref> speculated that Trudeau had written the novel ''[[Primary Colors (novel)|Primary Colors]]'', which was later revealed to have been written by [[Joe Klein]]. In February 2000, Trudeau, working with Dotcomix, launched ''Duke2000'', a web-based presidential campaign featuring a real-time, 3-D, streaming-animation version of Duke. Nearly 30 campaign videos were created for the site, and Ambassador Duke was interviewed live by satellite on the ''[[Today (U.S. TV program)|Today Show]], [[Larry King Live]], [[The Charlie Rose Show]]'', and dozens of local TV and radio news shows.<ref>{{cite magazine|author=Wired Staff|title=The Revolution Will Be Satirized|url=https://www.wired.com/2000/08/duke/|magazine=Wired|access-date=October 31, 2017}}</ref>

In 2013, Trudeau created, wrote and co-produced ''[[Alpha House]]'', a political sitcom starring [[John Goodman]] that revolves around four Republican U.S. Senators who live together in a townhouse on Capitol Hill.<ref>{{cite news|last=Goodman|first=Tim|title= Alpha House: TV Review|url=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/alpha-house-tv-review-656034|access-date=July 24, 2014|newspaper=The Hollywood Reporter|date=November 14, 2013}}</ref> Trudeau was inspired to write the show's pilot after reading a 2007 ''New York Times'' article about a real D.C. townhouse shared by New York Senator Chuck Schumer, Illinois Senator [[Dick Durbin]], and California Representative George Miller, all Democrats.<ref>{{cite news|last=Camia|first=Catalina|title=Durbin: No sex or drugs in real 'Alpha House'|url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/onpolitics/2013/11/20/dick-durbin-alpha-house-garry-trudeau-amazon/3653431|access-date=August 4, 2014|newspaper=USA Today|date=November 20, 2013}}</ref> The pilot for ''Alpha House'' was produced by [[Amazon Studios]] and aired in early 2013.

While writing ''Alpha House'', Trudeau put the daily Doonesbury into rerun mode. On March 3, 2014, the "Classic Doonesbury" series began, featuring approximately four weeks of daily strips from each year of the strip's run. He continues to produce new strips for Sundays.  Although ''Alpha House'' has not been in production since the end of 2014, Trudeau has not returned to creating daily ''Doonesbury'' strips; new material remains a Sunday-only event.<ref name="'Doonesbury' Becoming 'Doonesbury Classics'">{{cite web|last1=Rosenberg|first1=Alan|title='Doonesbury' Becoming 'Doonesbury Classics'|url=http://www.providencejournal.com/features/entertainment/content/20140303-doonesbury-becoming-doonesbury-classics.ece|website=Providence Journal|access-date=October 26, 2017}}</ref>

Trudeau has contributed to such publications as ''Harper's'', ''Rolling Stone'', ''The New Republic'', ''The New Yorker'', ''New York'', and ''The Washington Post''. From 1990 to 1994, he wrote and drew an occasional column for ''The New York Times'' op-ed page, and was a contributing essayist for ''Time'' magazine from 1996 to 2001.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1991/01/16/opinion/mars-so-far.html|title=Opinion &#124; Mars So Far|first=Garry|last=Trudeau|newspaper=The New York Times |date=January 16, 1991}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://greensboro.com/doonesbury-creator-joins-time-as-a-contributor/article_9adaadb2-60c9-537f-be2f-31b509c9bd37.html|title=''DOONESBURY' CREATOR JOINS TIME AS A CONTRIBUTOR|website=Greensboro News and Record|date=April 8, 1996 }}</ref>

Beginning with the Gulf War in 1991, Trudeau has written about military issues extensively. In recognition for his work on injured soldiers, he has been presented with the Commander's Award for Public Service by the [[Department of the Army]], the Commander's Award from [[Disabled American Veterans]], the President's Award for Excellence in the Arts from [[Vietnam Veterans of America]], the Distinguished Public Service Award from the [[American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation]], the Mental Health Research Advocacy Award from the [[Yale School of Medicine]], and a special citation from the Vet Centers.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/doonesbury/strip/cast/bio | title=Doonesbury Cast: Garry Trudeau | newspaper=[[The Washington Post]]}}</ref>

He received several unit commendations from the field during the Gulf War, and he traveled with the [[USO]] to visit troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. From 2005 to 2014, his website hosted [http://gocomics.typepad.com/the_sandbox  ''The Sandbox''], a milblog posting over 800 essays by deployed soldiers, returned vets, caregivers, and spouses. For most of the strip's run, Trudeau has eschewed merchandising, but starting in 1998 he teamed up with [[Starbucks]] to create ''Doonesbury'' products to raise funds for local literacy programs. The items were offered for sale in Starbucks stores for nearly two years and raised over $1 million. Also for charity, Trudeau licensed the strip to Ben & Jerry's, which created a bestselling sorbet flavor called ''Doonesberry''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://newsroom.ucla.edu/releases/Pulitzer-Prize-Winning-Cartoonist-7443|title=Pulitzer Prize-Winning Cartoonist Garry Trudeau Discusses Politics and His Beloved Comic Strip, "Doonesbury," at UCLA Live Oct. 25|last=Wallace|first=Holly|date=October 20, 2006|website=UCLA Newsroom}}</ref>
