combines dozens of Doonesbury's Twitter strips with 500 actual "tweets" posted by the intrepid Hedley as he roams the globe on assignment. A sampling of these posts was recently featured in
The New Yorker, and it's a given that the cluelessly self-obsessed Hedley will relentlessly over-promote the book to the thousands of readers who "follow" him at
