Notes
Reprints 124 daily newspaper comics strips originally published between January 3rd and July 2nd 1977.
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.
Dimensions of first printing are 5⅛” × 7⅞”. List of “Doonesbury books by G. B. Trudeau” ends with *Stalking the Perfect Tan.*
