Garry Trudeau — author of the landmark comic strip Doonesbury — stopped by the studio recently to talk with Kurt about 40 years of penning the ever-expanding Doonesbury universe. It’s a challenge to cover comics (or really anything visual) on the radio, so Studio 360’s Eric Molinsky made dramatized versions of a few key strips.
And when it came to the website, we thought “Why not sync up the sound with the original strips on which they were based?” With a little cropping and some video-editing software, we were able to give voices to some of Trudeau’s amazing characters.
