- <p> Cartoonist GARRY TRUDEAU'S DOONESBURY comic strip has taken
- an acerbic view of the Desert Storm conflict. Trudeau likes
- taking the soldier's outlook, so it seemed natural enough that
- he let an airman stationed in Saudi Arabia use his newspaper
- space. Air Force Sergeant TOM ROMINGER began drawing his Living
- in Purgatory cartoons under the name "Zorro" to amuse his
- fellow soldiers, one of whom sent the comics to Trudeau. The
- fill-ins featured, among other observations, a soldier being
- roasted on a spit and another who hanged himself before his lost
- mail was found.
