Political comics don’t tend to reach out that far, primarily living on the editorial page with an anonymous artist. One prominent political artist had gone another route, becoming nationally syndicated right on the comics page: Garry Trudeau. Centered on political satire, Trudeau’s comic, Doonesbury offers us a scathing, yet insightful, view of the modern political arena. However, he is more than just a strip cartoonist: Trudeau has produced work in a number of different fields, ranging from books to TV shows.
Trudeau is another example of a man who became successful in the effort to chase his dreams: early in the interview, his response to why he has branched out so far is simply because he saw an opportunity and, ever since he was a child, he wanted to do everything. Opportunity, combined with passion, gave him that first foothold.
Maintaining success is a constantly evaluative process. Once a product is launched, whether it’s a washing machine, program or comic, it must be regularly reviewed. The changes brought about from can these evaluations don’t have to be minor either. Massive shifts can transform dogs into star performers. Doonesbury underwent a dramatic change in art style; Marlboro became a men’s cigarette. These changes, even if it’s only in perception, and their impacts, both large and small, become a part of what defines things in the public eye.
Products, of all types, are a central element in everybody’s life. This impact cannot be overstated. The narrative that develops between and around people and products is the essence of Robert Brunner’s brand. Whether it is opening the newspaper over morning coffee and wondering what’s going to happen in Garry Trudeau’s world or wearing iconic white headphones, a dialogue has been established. A passion for your work gives the dedication to continue to nurture it through every step.
