MOUNTAIN MEN EVENT WITH GARY NIELSEN PARK CITY TAKES A SHOT EXPO DESIGNED TO AT A NEW RECORD, C-3 EMPOWER WOMEN, C-4 www.parkrecord.com C-1 WED/THURS/FRI, OCTOBER 10-12, 2018 Garry Trudeau draws them as he sees them ‘Doonesbury’ creator will speak Saturday at the Eccles Center SCOTT IWASAKI The Park Record Garry Trudeau has let his progressive colors show throughout his career. Since the early 1970s, the creator of the Pulitzer Prize-winning comic strip “Doonesbury” has relayed his sharp perception of social and political life through characters such as journalist Roland Burton Hedley III, two-time Grand National Tanning Champion Zonker Harris and Mr. Butts, the walking, talking cigarette who represents the tobacco industry. While these are fictional characters, Trudeau has also peppered his comic with real people such as former President Bill Clinton and a former New York real estate developer, President Donald Trump. In fact, his not-so-complimentary take on Trump over the past three decades have been compiled into two books — 2016’s “Yuge!: 30 years of Doonesbury on Trump,” and “#SAD!: Doonesbury in the Time of Trump,” which was released last month.

The Park Record conducted an email Q and A with Trudeau earlier this week, lightly edited for clarity. Park Record: You have been observing Donald Trump since the 1980s. What was so fascinating about him back then? Garry Trudeau: How difficult he was to ignore. He had this big, honking presence in New York since the early ‘80s, and we New Yorkers couldn’t understand what we’d done to deserve him. All he’d done was renovate a hotel and build a big, brass- COURTESY OF GARRY TRUDEAU Mountain man expert Gary Nielsen will give a presentation from 5-6:30 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 11, at the Park City Library’s Education and Collections Center, 2079 Sidewinder Dr. The event, sponsored by the Park City Museum and the Friends of Ski Mountain Mining History, is free and open to the public.
