What is hunter s thompson doonesbury?

Hunter S. Thompson was a journalist and author who is widely known for his unconventional style of writing and his non-fiction work, including Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Hell's Angels: A Strange and Terrible Saga. He was a pioneer of "Gonzo journalism," a style in which the writer is a central character in the story they are reporting on.

Doonesbury is a comic strip created by Garry Trudeau that first appeared in newspapers in 1970. The strip features a wide array of long-standing characters, including Zonker Harris, B.D., and Uncle Duke, who is a caricature of Hunter S. Thompson. Uncle Duke is often depicted as a bumbling, chaotic character who is frequently caught up in absurd situations and adventures.

Thompson and Trudeau were friends, and Thompson was reportedly flattered by the portrayal of Uncle Duke in Doonesbury. In fact, Thompson once wrote in a letter to Trudeau, "I don't think there's any insult to being portrayed by Duke, because he's a lovable character in his own way."
