This is the most romantic thing I've ever seen.

Trudeau, Berkeley Breathed, Bill Watterson and Gary Larson made cartooning feel like a rock star career choice when I was in college. Congratulations on 50 years of "Doonesbury."

So glad that they are still together , such a lovely couple! Always loved Jane❤

Jane Pauley looks so beautiful when she was young. I have no idea she would marry a cartoonist. They look so happy together.

This actually made me emotional. A life well lived.

Absolutely lovely and a treasure for sure! Doonesbury is such a classic and will always be relevant!

Seems like something from another place and time; very baby boom specific. They can seem pretentious - but Jane - a midwestern girl who made it in the Big Apple - has been through a lot and shared her experience of needing lithium for bipolar disorder. There is always a real life story behind the persona - and she has been willing to share that at times. Lovely couple.

I think that Garry Trudeau is absolutely brilliant! I've enjoyed his cartoons since I became aware of them as a high school student. I own all of his anthologies, and when I decided to downsize my library and keep just 100 books, my Doonesbury anthologies remained on my bookshelves. And always will. Congratulations on 50 years of genius.

This was awesome: Two of my favorite people!

Well, she was cutie back in the day, and she still is....

This is great and Romantic!

For a genius, he's deeply self-deprecating. The newspapers are doomed, but "Doonesbury" is not.

With the Presidential election of 2020 still going on right now...I needed this. I cried a little

A very good friend of mine, Bill Henry (William A Henry III) was his editor at Yale and was the first person to publish him. Bill went on to write for TIME and also got a Pulitzer (by the age of 30).

You mean he was the guy that Trudeau has frequently mentioned over the decades as having said "Sure, we pretty much publish anything"? =)

Garry’s work has meant a lot to me over the years. I’m making my way through all the books, relishing his skewering of Nixon and Kissinger, the Vietnam war, all the way through the Reagan presidency and the Bushes and - as God is my witness - the Trump years. Jane, my mother Bonnie & stepdad Bob loved meeting you when Today broadcast from Rio in the 80s when they lived there. I had to explain who Garry was, who they also met. And now I’m following Ross on Twitter, highly amused! So I’m well wishing you all from Kansas.

This is fantastic and quite lovely.

such a nice story. love to see these things

Had *no clue* these two were married! Glad it has lasted, and seems to be going strong!

I'm speechless. Interesting how a good part of the time he's interviewing her. Almost like watching a couple of teenagers on their first date.

Thank you Jane & Gary for sharing

Lovely couple.

Both of you look great.....u can tell in Jane's smile how much she loves her hubby...little fyi:my uncle Neil designed the Today Show sunrise logo back in the early 70s...u see it when Brokaw mentioning Jane getting married....

I started reading the strip and collecting the collections in the eaely 80s. It gave me an insight into politics, world affairs and cultures that I would not otherwise have had.

I first came across Doonesbury 40+ years ago in the UK newspaper "The Guardian", and have read the strip regularly ever since (now, of course, new strips confined to Sundays) . I have a collection of 34 books of the strips which are read regularly in rotation. They have reached heirloom status as my eldest son has put in a claim for them when I pop my clogs.

Doonesbury has been fantastic over the years. One of the few I always read.

What a great couple.

Even with my Princeton prejudice, Gary Trudeau is an Eli I truly admire. Who could possibly have depicted the last 50 years with as much insight and humor?

very cool and you guys have been so blessed :)

Bloom County, Doonesbury, Calvin and Hobbs, Far Side and later on Liberty Meadows were my favorites from the 70's on. Scary Gary too. Dilbert has become my daily have to read now that Doonesbury is basically Sunday only now.

Getting Pauly into the station wagon is a quite tricky. You have to have the car already running and have a treat waiting for her because if you take the treats out in front of her she'll immediately know it's a trip to the vet and you won't get her in the car anytime soon.

A very good piece.

This probably isn’t “good journalism” but it’s still really cute.

"Probably" C'mon :) But then again, it's an inoffensive fluff piece and at least Jane is intimately familiar with the subject.

He looks much younger than 70!

I remember reading the Sunday comics when I was a kid. Garfield, Peanuts, The Far Side, Mutts, Blondie, Boondocks, Andy Capp, The Family Circus, Beetle Bailey etc. Doonsbury ALWAYS derailed the funny train for me because it was too damn dramatic. Even more dramatic than Prince Valiant.

great show

Awesome video

I love those brass looking coins he uses to hold down his artwork at 1:27. Any idea what those are specifically, besides paperweights, of course?

Brass coins.

i think i was too young to "get" the Doonesbury comics in 80's as a child. "family circus" was not relate-able to my family's life. Garfield, the military one i forgot the name of and Calvin and Hobbes were my favorites.

Ive always enjoyed the funnies in newspapers. My favorite newspaper comic strip has always been Garfield. I also like peanuts, the boondocks, zits, baby blues, curtis, mutts, and the lockhorns. Never got into Doonesbury.

You done Good, Jane.

why no [CC]? am i too early for automated ones. google is getting very good at auto [CC] these days.

Love those green glasses! 🤔 Frames? 👓

Happy 69th Birthday Jane 🎃♏️🥰😘

Cute Couple.

The only thing I miss about the Sunday paper. Sorry get my news online these days

I have been reading Doonesbury in the Guardian (UK newspaper) since almost from the beginning. In the chronicling of the progress of American life over the past 50 years, one of the things that has fascinated me is how what happened in America often found its way into British life 10 years later. OHH - EMM - GEE!! Just thought of Trump!! If this wasn't the internet I would describe what I am about to do to myself!! Rock on Gary!

Millenia, when you can produce this,and a long term marriage , call us Boomers. We can teach you how.

He's handsome for 70😏

Doonesbury was big when I was in college, but I never saw one strip that I thought was funny or edgy. College kids thought it was something they needed to talk about to be cool, but it was like admiring the emperor's new clothes.

Actually, I thought "what, he married a newswoman?"

Sweet. Cute. Exceptional journalism.

Garry Trudeau'a Doonesbury performed a great service, often by focusing on events the corporate media would black-out. Like when California activists worked to create the medical marijuana initiative in 1996. If it weren't for Trudeau, many wouldn't have known of that ground-shaking action and success for freedom that launched the marijuana re-legalization movement. .

I never knew they were married

He's 70?!!!

I wish he would return to daily strips.

I had no idea there was a Doonesbury movie. I know there's been a peanuts movie, a Garfield movie, and a marmaduke movie.

It take guts to interview your own husband.

The recent cartoon related to the takedown of Ron DeSantis (So you’re for discrimination and injustice? That’s your message?) is brilliant. Most of these right-wingers have NO idea what woke means…

First I ever heard these two were married. 2022 Nov 24

I would love too see cartoonist try to draw anime style... Would be very funny

She makes all the money in the family, that's for sure.

Jane got more beautiful the older she got

Mein Gott, Goya’s Black period? Garry’s dark streak was a 4-lane highway early in life. 😂

Another aspect of humanity that is just about dead. Killed by technology.

Yeah Papes are a Dying Breed, Gone are The Newsies Now it's The Tubers Makin' Vids on .

Named "The Most Overrated Person in American Arts and Letters" - and aptly so.

He married Boopsie?

Do another cartoonist. You guys do the Doonesbury profile every few years.

Good cartoonist (his Hunter Thompson parody Duke is classic), but he's not much help to people trying to break into the business.

Sorry….a journalist covering her partner….just no! “Gary, you are the most archival person I know.” Really? Just a self- serving puff piece that ought to have been given to another journalist. That kind of “journalistic compromise” would never have stood in earlier days when journalism ethics were clear, and unwaveringly respected. And I don’t apologize for what is probably viewed as s contrarian point of view. It is the truth.

Agreed. But it is the way things are done these days. Real "journalism" -- the kind I was taught and tried to practice -- has pretty much breathed its last breath. There's a lot to like and admire about Jane Pauley, but she's not exactly hard-hitting in her approach. Not that everyone has to be, but she certainly made the most of a changing TV news landscape.

The tricky forgery adventitiously hurry because theory optically suffer upon a graceful rose. complex, spooky warm

Poor Pauly you could just throw a story at her and she'll just chase it like a dog chases a tennis ball. Hopefully a driver would be kind enough to brake in the middle of road so poor Pauly can come back with the tennis ball. Good girl good girl. That's a good girl.......when she darts off because they forgot to tie her up because she was left in the back yard and the gate was left poorly closed, they at least wrote her address on her collar so she can come back Hahahahah 😂

Doonsebury used to be everywhere. Since he married Jane no more Doonsebury. She's like Doomsbury.
