Bush at Yale: "Our paths crossed in a most interesting way in sophomore year, when a classmate of mine wrote an expose for the college paper about the physical hazing at Deke house. Apparently, initiates had been branded with hot irons - the delta on their backside. The editor asked if I would illustrate the article. So the very first cartoons I did for the Yale Daily news were about Deke and George Bush. It became a minor scandal on campus - and it was the first time Bush was interviewed by the major media. He told the New York Times it was just a coat hanger, and, you know, it didn't hurt any more than a cigarette burn. It does put one in mind of what his views on torture might be today." -- Gary Trudeau in Rolling Stone 2004.
