Issue Notes
Reprints 124 daily newspaper comics strips originally published between December 26th 1973 and August 12th 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
Strips are not reprinted in exact order of publication in newspapers.
Some strips that are omitted here are included in other Doonesbury volumes.
Garry Trudeau was assisted by inker Don Carlton (Alter 1990, 66). Carlton’s association with Trudeau began in the early 1970s, and his responsibilities grew to include lettering of the strip. The association endured for decades (Walker 2010, 30–31).
