Indexer Notes

Garry Trudeau was assisted by inker Don Carlton (Alter 1990). Newspaper publication of Carlton’s work began “in early December [1971]”; Carlton initially lettered the strip for only a few weeks before Trudeau resumed lettering the strip. After about a year of Carlton inks and Trudeau letters, Trudeau again delegated lettering to Carlton, and the arrangement endured for decades (Walker 2010, 30–31). GCD’s inks and letters credits reflect that the period covered by this chapter appears to begin during the period preceding Don Carlton’s involvement, and end during the second, extended period when Carlton handled both lettering and inking.
