On sale date from publication date submitted to the U.S. Copyright Office as reported in the Catalog of Copyright Entries, Third Series, Volume 28, Part 1, Number 1, Section 2, Books and Pamphlets Including Serials and Contributions to Periodicals, January-June 1974.

Garry Trudeau’s original editor at Holt, circa 1972, was Don Hutter (Walker 2010, 128). And Trudeau’s editor in 1981 was Hutter (Walker 2010, 95), until Hutter left the position (New York Times 1981). GCD’s editing credit reflects the assumption that Hutter was Trudeau’s editor at Holt continuously between 1972 and 1981.

Indexer Notes
Garry Trudeau was assisted by inker Don Carlton (Alter 1990, 66). There was a transition during the early 1970s in the lettering of the strip. After about a year (apparently ending in early 1973) during which Trudeau lettered the strip and Carlton inked it, Trudeau delegated the lettering to Carlton, who then remained for decades as inker and letterer of the strip (Walker 2010, 30–31). GCD’s credits reflect that the time period covered by this volume appears to begin during the time that Trudeau lettered and Carlton inked, and end during the time that Carlton inked and lettered.
