Indexer Notes

Newspaper publication of Don Carlton’s inks and letters work began “in early December [1971]”; Carlton initially lettered the strip for only a few weeks before Garry 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 section appears to include strips inked by Trudeau, strips inked by Carlton, strips lettered by Trudeau, and strips lettered by Carlton.

Sunday pages are newly recolored.

Indexer Notes

See also notes for the first, untitled comic story, above. GCD’s inks and letters credits reflect that the period covered by this chapter appears to begin during the time that Garry Trudeau lettered and Don Carlton inked, and end during the second, extended period when Carlton handled both lettering and inking.

Indexer Notes

Garry Trudeau in 2008 commissioned creation of a computer font based on Don Carlton’s hand lettering (Walker 2010, 31). By Christmas week 2008 (not reprinted here), Carlton was lettering the strip on computer (Walker 2010, 241). Computer-based lettering in this section appears to begin on p. 665.
