Doonesbury characters are all based off of or spoofed from real life and people. Even the Doonesbury name was coined off our Trudeau’s college roommate, referring to him as a good natured dufus. One Doonesbury characters, Duke, was coined after journalist Hunter S. Thompson. The character, Duke, really must have hit a nerve because it caused the Thompson journalist to send an envelope of used toilet paper and death threats to creator Trudeau.
