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 http://www.doonesbury.ucomics.com/strip/retro/yale/yale40.htm http://www.doonesbury.ucomics.com/strip/retro/yale/yale41.htm Keiva (Bulldog, Class of 1972) Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter . #57136 02/16/2002 2:45 AM Joined: Aug 2000 Posts: 3,409 Max Quordlepleen Carpal Tunnel Max Quordlepleen Carpal Tunnel Joined: Aug 2000 Posts: 3,409 Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: Statuesque comedy #57137 02/16/2002 3:02 AM Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 13,858 wwh Carpal Tunnel wwh Carpal Tunnel Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 13,858 Dear Max: It is news to me that the Attorney General reads the comics, and harder still to believe he has time to react to them, or give a damn about them.

A classic piece, on the subject of tariffs levied against foreign goods to protect domestic producers. Would love to quote from it, but it's just too good to be read piecemeal. http://www.econ.duke.edu/~bancroft/154Home/Bastiat_Petition.html Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: Statuesque comedy #57140 02/16/2002 12:46 PM Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 13,803 Faldage Carpal Tunnel Faldage Carpal Tunnel Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 13,803 This theme has been treated widely in the arena of editorial page political cartoons. The most pointed have suggested a link between covering the statue of justice with the covering of political scandal. The least political has linked the "indecency" of the statue with the indecency of the cost of covering it.
