I remember thinking when Bloom County first came out I thought it might be a side project of Trudeau’s using a pseudonym because he took a long hiatus from Doonesbury at about that time. Took me a couple of years to be convinced the Berkeley was a real person.

Doonesbury doesn’t even qualify as adult humor, much less family.
