Garry Trudeau, the creator of the famed "Doonesbury'' comic strip, is known for maintaining his privacy and generally avoiding interviews.
But he recently agreed to an e-mail exchange regarding his former Yale University classmate, Tim Bannon, who was recently named as the new chief of staff for Governor-elect Dannel Malloy.
Bannon was briefly depicted in the strip by his friend as T. F. Bannon, an attorney who matched the profession of the real-life Bannon.
(The strip on the left, which should be read going down the page, was initially published in November 1979. The one on the right was published later that month.)
