Doonesbury’s URLs

Having been out of town for several days, I’m only now catching up with my daily reading (which includes Boondocks, Doonesbury and For Better or Worse). I was intrigued to discover that Doonesbury has started to point people off to URLs they’ve noted as the “Honest Voices Reading List” (tm). Today’s strip (October 12, 2004) points off to a Wall Street Journal reporter’s email to his friends, which has been included in the Poynter Institute’s online blogspace. It’s a compelling, and truly disturbing description of life in Iraq right now. I don’t know why it hit me so hard — I mean, I know the situation there is awful — but the first hand account provoked tears for me. Kudos to Gary Trudeau for figuring out a way to embed even more content in his strip!
