As long as we're all asking, does anyone know where I can get a copy of the half hour Doonesbury cartoon?

The Doonesbury Special was available on tape back in the early '80's; I know because I once rented it. I'm unaware of a currently-available version, but perhaps you can haggle a dupe out of another animation collector. Also, you might take a look at the latest edition of the Whole Toon Catalog; you never know what's gonna turn up there! And, of course, there's always eBay...

There was also a heavily-illustrated paperback detailing the making of the animated special published around the same time the show was aired.

Happy hunting!

The Doonesbury Special is available in VHS format from AMAZON.com. Here's the URL: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/6303323464/crosbycomics

I ordered and watched it recently, and it was pretty good. Apparently it was nominated for an Oscar for Best Short Film the year it was released.

Scratch that, I mean "Best Animated Short." Not "Best Short Film."
