james_davis_nicollNo, really. Look at the original trio of characters.
Mike Doonesbury is a Republican, happily married to a much younger woman whose family was murdered by Communists in the 1970s. His previous wife was an insane artist and although I don't think they ever _said_ she was a Democractic Party
voter, I think she was still around when Mike came out of the closet and reacted badly.
BD, of course, is a Republican who volunteered for military duty in combat zones three times.
Mark the former Communist Activist is in a dead end job. In contrast, his lover, a Republican, is wealthy and successful.
I can go on. Compare and contrast Lacey Davenport (R) to the man she defeated back in the 1970s (Ventura, I think (D)). What's her name, the woman who left her husband to look for personal growth and self-realization? She ended up working for _Lacey_. Not a Democrat, a Republican.

The Hunter Thompson figure, Duke, typically got political appointments to screw up third world nations when the US was under Republican administrations. (When Democrats were in charge, Duke privatized his activities.)
I deeply deeply miss Phred the (former)Terrorist, Vietnam's ambassador to the UN. Many many lost opportunities for a skeptical view of world events, there.
