Gary Trudeau, Yale Class of 1970 and author of the Doonesbury comic strip, began his career as a college student with his strip published in the campus daily under the name Bull Tales. Yale's mascot is the Bulldog. Those comics focus on campus life: football, parties, pursuit of young ladies, campus insurrections, and the changes when Yale first went co-ed in September 1969. When Trudeau graduated and began his Doonesbury strip in the public press, it was at first largely a recyling of the original Bull Tales strips, entirely unchanged.
But he did change one pair of Bull Tales comics, much in the manner of Max's strip above, and his "unstripping" completely obscures the original humor.
The originals of that pair can be found at
