Indexer Notes

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).

The credit for colors by Trudeau is disputed.

The closer we get to the millennium, the weirder life stays, especially on Planet Doonesbury.
