How is Doonesbury liberal?

Little Nemo - Honey always struck me as someone born in a very bad spot who always did what it took to not get killed or deported and got enamored with someone who could get away with defying the man. Phred always tries to do what’s best for his country. Neither ever struck me as particularly liberal, just practical.

Don’t you have to be pretty liberal to get a grant from the Phord Phoundation?

For all of his Viet Cong background, Phred turned hard-core Capitalist just as soon as he could.

He seems pretty left wing in this strip.

All comic strips, comic books, cartoons, animated movies and television, and whatever have the same problem. It’s just too tempting for them to keep their characters the same age forever.

This problem is hinted at in this week’s FoxTrot.
