Doonesbury’s syndicate, Universal Uclick, announced on May 29, 2013, that the comic strip would go on hiatus from June 10 to Labor Day of that year while Garry Trudeau worked on his streaming video comedy Alpha House, which was picked up by Amazon Studios.6 “Doonesbury Flashbacks” were offered during those weeks, but due to the unusually long hiatus, some newspapers opted to run different comic strips instead.7 Sunday strips returned as scheduled, but the daily strip’s hiatus was extended until November 2013.8 After Alpha House was retained for a second series in February 2014, Trudeau announced that he would now only produce Sunday strips for the foreseeable future.9 From March 3, 2014, the strip offers reruns starting from the very beginning of its history as opposed to the recent ones that re-run when Trudeau is on vacation.
