(2004-02-26) — Scott Ott, the editor of the daily news satire site, ScrappleFace.com, today chose a winner from more than 100 entrants in a contest to prove that Doonesbury is a “comic” strip.
The contest came in reponse to a similar P.R. stunt by Doonesbury creator Garry Trudeau, who offered to donate $10,000 to the U.S.O. in the name of anyone who could prove that George W. Bush served in the Alabama Air National Guard.
ScrappleFace reader Bill Walsh won the $10 prize with the following entry:
Here’s proof!
Doonesbury is funny ’cause Bush stole the election!
Ha ha ha!Bill Walsh
The vast editorial staff at ScrappleFace applauded Mr. Walsh for his tireless research and recommended that he use the $10 as a partial payment on a collection of funny and relevant political cartoons by Cox & Forkum. The staff also recommended reading Chris Muir’s Day by Day.
ScrappleFace.com commissioned the following “comic” strip as a tribute to Garry Trudeau.

I have not laughed this hard in a while
First, I thought this was hysterical. But this is just brutal. Meanwhile, Day by Day is (as the saying goes) like Doonesbury but funny….
