GR mention in Guardian Doonesbury article

[Carvill John]

Article in today's (new 'Berliner' format) Guardian mentions GR:

"I first came across the strip when I was hitchhiking across the US a year 
after the Nixon resignation, a 2lb copy of Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow 
weighing down my backpack. I was in America because, well, wow! America!"

Wonder what percentage of Pynchon fans read Doonesbury, and vice versa?  
There was quite a debate on the paper's website in the wake of its 
cancellation in the new version of the 'G2' review section, which resulted 
in the strip being reinstated. I only glance over it every now and then. I 
suppose it's generally regarded as being fairly liberal politically, though 
Trudeau is on record as describing the US as being "at war" in Iraq...

Personally, I prefer Steve Bell's fantastic 'If' strip.
